First off, addressing the Lily boob flip/bounce thing she always does: I noticed it too! And it is NOT attractive. Maybe she’s trying to draw attention to them in the hopes that guys will look past her blubber and just go after her for her knockers? I don’t know, all I know is that one of these days she’s going to knock someone out by hitting them in the head with one of those giant things.

We open with the bromance between Blake and Generic Hottie 2. I like how Generic2 took the mattress of one of the kicked out people’s beds. No sympathy here haha, I love it.

But really, did anyone NOT predict the two attractive straight males on the show becoming buds? It’s pretty much a given.

We get one line from Magic Carpet about missing Charlie, and we’re done. Let’s hope that’s the end of that.

This week’s theme is theatricality, and the HW song is “I Hope I Get It” from the musical A Chorus Line. The people you would expect to know it, do, and those you’d think wouldn’t don’t (here’s a hint: Blake and Generic2 are completely lost).

Carpet doesn’t like Lily taking charge of the choreo for the song. Suck it up and deal with the fact that you have no friends now that Charlie’s gone, Carpet. Just go lie in the corner and let everyone walk all over you. That’s a good Magic Carpet.

I was just thinking, doesn’t Wheelchair Barbie kind of resemble a young Nikki? Am I alone on this one?

Hopefully she doesn’t end up being as big of a bitch as Nikki

And the guest this week is…Grant Gustin, who played the gay sociopath Sebastian on Glee. He’s much cuter in real life than he is on Glee, although his eyes are really squinty, and not in an Asian way.

HW

Shannnaaaa- good. Fine. Whatever. B
Abe- starts off really quiet and is just timid and bad. D+
Generic Hottie 2- his voice is too pop for Broadway. C+
Wheelchair Barbie- that top accentuates her boobs like whoa. It also matches Carpet’s socks. Her high note is good and she hams it up in a good way. A-


Blake- he acts well but as usual his voice is so blah B-
Carpet- fine. B-
Lily- she has a really good Broadway voice. She does play it up well, although her only move seems to be sticking her arm straight up. A-
Nellis- not as amazing as I usually think she is. B-

Notes from Grant- Generic 2 be more confident, Nellis also be more confident, WB is fantastic, Lily is very funny. I think Lily is going to win. Oh but, I’m happily surprised, as WB takes it home. Good for her. She gets a one-on-one sesh, as well as a step-out moment in the video. More like a “roll-out” moment, am I right?

About

Leah Michaels aka L-Money was deprived of cable TV as a child, so of course now she is obsessed with all things television. Hailing from Long Island, NY, she is currently a media studies major at Brown University. Besides sitting in front of the TV for hours, hobbies include video games, playing music, snowboarding, and being a DJ on the local alternative rock radio station. If you ever want to gush about the genius of Joss Whedon, discuss what kind of crack the Project Runway judges are smoking, drool over the food on Iron Chef, or sing show tunes, L-Money's your girl. Although she's young,  she feels she'll fit right in, as she's been making fun of people since she was eight years old (she was a precocious 2nd grader). Also, she loves cats. Like, a lot. She'll probably be a crazy cat lady when she's older, and she's OK with that.

    I kinda like Abe- but I agree, he won’t make it till the end.
    Nellis was a good choice to go ..she is zoo boooring…they gave her every opportunity to sex /confidence it up and she failed miserably!

    I am loving WB a lot more …yah , she is that “theatre girl”we all remember from school that was super annoying and super talented ..but she does seem sweet.

    Carpet is that “theatre girl” too…but not in a endearing way

    Nikki was in a christian girl group Avalon in the late 90′s …he makeup and look is stuck there !

    What was hard about writing the character of, I du no, the real Nellis? Awesome folky voice in an awkward girl? I found her more compelling to watch than anyone else; she’s intriguing instead of a one-note personality (cough*magic carpet*cough). You want to watch more.

    But damn I got so frustrated that she wouldn’t TRY to act a little more. Without that effort, she’d never make it on the show, so she’s the right one to go. Also, Ryan wants to get rid of all the guys here, all uniformly blah, but he’s gotta throw a girl out once in a while to make the videos more gender-balanced. Also so tween girls keep tuning in. (although they could just lust after Zach like the rest of us.)

    When the guest mentor showed up I said aloud, “who?”. Glad we were told who this supposedly famous person is.

    I loved hearing me some Chorus Line. I love when Glee does Broadway – I am too old to recognize most of the pop songs.

    I think it’s ironic that Ali played Katy Perry, because her version of “Last Friday Night” sucked.

    Every time I read ‘WB’ my mind automatically translates it to ‘Warner Bros’. EVERY TIME.

    Nellis was the right one to leave, she was too negative and gloomy.
    I think Lily hates michael for some reason. She spent the whole episod dissing him. (maybe he wouldnt sleep with her or something–i dont blame him)
    I didnt think i would like ali when this started but she is my favorite girl now, not like there is any better choice.
    I really hope carpet was joking when she said she was sexy, because guurrlll is not.
    Not digging abraham, he is so annoying on twitter i just want to band him from the internet.
    Blake and shanna do nothing for me so i dont hate them, but i wouldnt care much if they got eliminated.
    I think the reason michael doesnt know anything about glee or seem interested in it is because robert asked him to audition for the glee project, like damian last year (so maybe he will win) which makes this show a scam

    Blake was found “through industry channels” too. He’s an actor, never sang much before the show, and it explains his mono tonality. He’s my fave guy though, he always puts his whole heart into his character in the videos.

    WB is my favorite girl by process of elimination. Carpet and Lily are terrible. They chose the worst possible Madonna outfit possible for Aylin, she looked awful. And lily is just a bitch. Did anyone else hear her say she loves cyndi lauper’s music but doesn’t think she’s an icon?!

    Being found through industry channels means that your manager told you about the audition. Robert actually sought michael out and asked him to audition, thats the small difference.

    I liked Nellis but if felt like she wasn’t even trying. And it was like she would rather whine and complain instead of just doing it. Its weird because I feel she was fine at the beginning of the show.

    At least the video shoot proved that Nellis really really really needs a different hair style.

    So who are we left with? This is truly the best they could find for this season. They weren’t even trying when they cast this bunch.

    I really want GH2 to leave. He is so mediocre, and hes not entertaining. I was sorry to see Nellis go, because i loved her voice and personality but you are completely right that her whole lack of confidence thing was getting old fast and the director was clearly frustrated with her.
    Shananna and Blake for the win!

    In Australia, the radio edit of When I Grow Up WAS “I wanna have boobies”

    I’m so depressed that there are pretty much no people that I like on this show anymore.
    Blake and Shanna.
    That’s it.

    And Aylin looked horrible in her Madonna outfit…when she was bending over to help WB with something, her butt looked like a big soggy diaper.
    Do not want.
