(No swimsuit competition included, unless the eventual winner is Casey "I took off my shirt for Kara" James.) The "Road to Hollywood" episode -- which patched together the good, the bad, and the deluded from Idol's trips to Boston, Atlanta, Orlando, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Denver -- included familiar faces (welcome back,...
