Say goodbye to Heidi and Spencer Pratt. As far as E! is concerned, the conspicuous couple occasionally self-referred to as Speidi are so dunzo.

A startling 94 percent of you elected for the Hills stars' immediate expulsion. Consider them gone from our wheelhouse, voted off the island, fired, out and any other appropriate reality-show catchphrase.

Their planned attempt at hijacking the I'm a Celebrity?Get Me Out of Here! reunion special on Wednesday? You won't read about it here. Barring any actual news (e.g., she gets knocked up, he falls off a cliff or?heaven help us?her album goes to No. 1), consider this their very last post.

We asked a simple question: Have you had enough Spencer and Heidi Pratt?

And you responded. Oh, did you.

You voted with such fervor and enthusiasm that you very nearly overwhelmed our servers. You posted comments—nearly 4,000 of them—filled with passion, poetry and some strongly worded opinions (and salty language) about the reality show couple known as Speidi.

You came through, and now it's time to get the results. Tune in tonight to E! News at 7 p.m. E/P and find out what happened.

Will they eke out a surprise win? Or go down to defeat in a landslide? Will Spencer find some way to try to spin the outcome to their advantage?

In short, the wait is over. Don't miss the exciting conclusion tonight. Only on E!

As Speidi lightning continues to strike on Al Roker, the Today show icon is maintaining his sense of humor.

During a recap on this morning's episode, Meredith Viera showed a clip of yesterday's much-discussed interview with Spencer and Heidi Pratt. When Roker asked if it looked like an attack, as they claim, the hostess pointed out that what she showed was only a small segment.

"I kept going, then I hit them with Mace and tied them up," he joked.

"Spencer said, 'He's lucky I was saved by Jesus because a couple of weeks ago, I probably would have ripped his head off for talking to my wife like that,' " Viera read from the transcript before asking Roker, "Are you proud?"

"Yes, I am," Roker replied. "I believe I asked what a lot of people wanted to know and, if he had tried to come across, I would have dumped him like a bag of dirt."

The Hills stars, for their part, claim to have forgiven the weather guru…but not before attempting to insult him.

Today's Speidi forecast: cloudy with a chance of mudslinging.

Heidi and Spencer Pratt made an appearance on the Today show this morning and received a grilling by grillmaster Al Roker.

Needless to say, the Hills diva was none too pleased with the line of questioning, and responded to it on Ryan Seacrest's radio show using fightin' words that mirrored the wavering torture accusations from their ill-fated appearance on I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

"To be honest, I would never be interviewed by that man again and I really would advise women especially to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely came and attacked me and I did not appreciate that at all," groused Heidi.

Spencer took a more passive-aggressive approach to his feelings about the segment.

No wonder Guantanamo Bay's being closed. The demos for torture aren't all that hot.

Monday's I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Outta Here!, featuring the "torture" of Most Awful Celeb Spencer Pratt and wife Heidi, averaged 5.2 million die-hards, per preliminary Nielsen estimates, about the same number the show scored last Thursday, prior to a weekend of high drama involving a Heidi hospitalization, and copious finger-pointing. 

Among the big four networks from 8-10 p.m., the NBC show ran last in viewers, and beat out only Fox's reruns among all-important adults 18-49.

I'm a Celebrity… begins its post-Pratts life Wednesday.

Well, minus the emergency hospitalization, the lawsuit threats and errant talk of torture...the big conundrum turned into a whole lot of nothing.

Heidi and Spencer Pratt were pretty much unanimously welcomed back into the fold on Monday's two-hour I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! after emerging seemingly unscathed from a night spent in the Lost Chamber. 

"No surrender, no retreat," Spencer could be heard screaming as the two settled down for a long summer's nap.

"The only way we got through was praying, and Jesus delivered us," Heidi said afterward.

But Speidi and the raging case of faith they returned to camp with didn't win over everybody.

"I don't believe him for a second," newcomer Daniel Baldwin said of Spencer. "This is the wolf in sheep's clothing."

Even Stephen Baldwin, a born-again Christian himself, thought Spencer was exhibiting a "spiritual hemorrhoid" in his zeal.

Whether by choice or by act of God, Speidi keeps getting out of I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

Heidi Pratt has been hospitalized in Costa Rica during her and Spencer's stay in "isolation" from the rest of the cast of the NBC reality series. Spencer accompanied his wife on the ambulance ride and remains by her bedside.

The news was broken by Spencer's sister, Stephanie Pratt, who tweeted that "[Heidi was] rushed to the hospital and has an IV in her arm after being locked in a dark room for 3 days w no food or water. Pls pray she will be ok…Her family is flying out to see her in the hospital."

The younger Pratt blames NBC for going "too far" in punishing the Hills couple after they tried to quit the bug-eating, jungle-surviving show after just one episode and then begged to return.

Last week, NBC exec Paul Telegdy said the "insincere, lazy, entitled" Pratts had been sent to "isolation," before producers would decide the twosome's fate on tomorrow's show, vowing that the Pratts "really are going to bare their souls."

Ah, the weekend. Time to relax, reboot and reflect on all the celebrity news we inhaled over the past week. We start with a trip down memory lane—all the way back to Sunday, when a certain award show came to town, bringing with it a "Dick in a Box" tribute, a bare Austrian behind and, sigh, the first New Moon trailer...

1. The 2009 MTV Movie Awards were bigger than they'd been in ages—and more viral, thanks to Brüno's thong-clad butt and what turned out to be a faux furious reaction from Eminem. Most of the popcorn was handed out to Twilight and its delish young stars, and speaking of Pattz & Co...

2. What would a list of the hottest anything be without New Moon, for which the hype is only going to keep growing before its November (so far away...) premiere. Hell, we're even starting to talk about Eclipse. Fanggirls and boys can't get enough Robsten updates—and lucky for them, neither can the Awful Truth. (When AT's not busy determining the Most Awful Celeb, that is.)

3. Kill Bill's David Carradine died—suddenly, shockingly and possibly while engaged in autoerotic asphyxiation. His family and friends insist it wasn't a suicide, as Thai police first suggested.

4. Susan Boyle did not win Britain's Got Talent and she ended up on bed rest for her efforts. Which, of course, led the Answer Bitch to pass judgment on whether the runner-up is equipped—physically, mentally, emotionally—to take the heat that comes with worldwide fame.

5. Should they stay or should they go? Speidi just couldn't make up their minds about I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and they made a few enemies by quitting multiple times. Anyway, now it's up to the castmates they scorned (including Octomom's twin, Janice Dickinson—no offense, Octomom) to decide whether the see-'em-to-believe-'em duo get to stay on the show. Ratings for Thursday were up as people tuned in to bask in the horribleness, but turrns out we won't know Speidi's fate until Monday. Smart, NBC...
