Although their last names are similar, I am here to clear up a common misconception: jettisoned American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar and Penguin Josef Melichar are not related. But that will not stop me from breaking down their numerous similarities outside of their names.
Supporters
Malakar: Howard Stern, Votefortheworst.com, teenage girls
Melichar: Michel Therrien, Ray Shero
Advantage: Malakar
Critics
Malakar: Simon Cowell
Melichar: Penguin Fans
Advantage: Melichar
Strengths
Malakar: Positive attitude; cheesy stares into the camera; hair
Melichar: Second on the team in blocked shots
Advantage: Malakar
Weaknesses
Malakar: Can't really sing
Melichar: Can't really play
Advantage: Push
Career High Point
Malakar: Making it to the final seven contestants of American Idol
Melichar: Still playing professional hockey 10 years after he was drafted
Advantage: Melichar
Career Low Point
Malakar: Singing "Something to Talk About" on Tuesday night
Melichar: His -42, 1997-98 season with Tri City of the WHL
Advantage: Malakar
Fate
Malakar: Eliminated from American Idol on Wednesday night
Melichar: Hopefully won't be eliminated from the playoffs on Thursday night
Advantage: Melichar
The result? A tie. But since the Penguins usually turn ties into shootout wins, I'll give the victory to Melichar.
