WB, Blake, and Nellis are all safe. I predicted that.

Oh, I guess I was confused. I thought that the three in the bottom would have to do solo Last Chance Performances, but apparently they are just judging them on the duets.

I think Charlie is going home. He doesn’t work well with others and has been in the bottom three times already.

And I’m wrong. Blind Side is going home! I wish I felt worse, but I don’t. He always acted so self-important and superior.

Another potential career for him: audiobook reader. I think his pretentious yet soothing voice could actually be tolerated in that field.

Anyone else notice how when they’re saying goodbye everyone is teary-eyed but Shannnana seems totally blasé? There’s def no love lost there, and it’s hilarious she’ s not faking it like the others (Lily totally hated him! Now she’s crying? Puh-leaze.) She’s grown on me, that Shnnannaaannna.

 

Do you guys think it was Blind Side’s time to go? How much longer can Charlie slide by? Am I being too hard on this season or is it really as bland as I think?

Thanks for reading!

    this was an interesting episode, in my opinion (mostly the last part with the duets though) you are right about how boring the video was.Next weeks is good . im thinking charlie goes next week. Blake and Nellis were AMAZING in my opinion. best last chance performance of the season for me thus far. I thought they both sounded good and there was chemistry
    Abe and Wheelchair Barbie were a hot mess.
    CFC and BS were pretty good but the performance was kind of awkward to watch
    my favorites are still blake and nellis followed by shananana

    I finally saw this week why everyone loves Nellie’s voice. I always thought that she was faking that weird deep-accentish-voice thing she does, but her voice in the LCP was amazing (even with the autotune).

    And I would totally watch The Glee Producers, especially if Zach got most of the screentime.

    i think nellis is on the wrong reality show. she clearly doesn’t give a shit if she is on glee or not and is a terrible actor/dancer. Maybe try american idol next because x factor didn’t work out for her. I can’t get over how terrible blake sounded in the homework assignment and generic hottie 2 did make me cringe but he was the most energetic in the music video so ill give him credit for that. I think charlie needs some therapy before his “career” because he just seems honestly crazy.

    Excited for next week, i can’t wait to see who has a breakdown over the slushies this year :)

    I dunno, I think Nellis would work pretty well on Glee — she’d make a great shy geeky girl who slowly discovers her freaky side. Which is what she appears to be doing with Blake…. At any rate, she’s the only one of this crew who seems to come alive on camera. The rest of them really suck.

    Speaking of suck… I hate people like Charlie who think they have to piss all over every fuckin’ song and destroy every fucking melody they touch with their own soggy ‘interpretation.’ I kind of felt sorry for Blindside there, since it’s pretty damn impossible to sing a duet when your partner refuses to sing the same song as you. If you can’t sing someone else’s melody properly, then you just can’t sing.

    As for Magic Carpet’s calves — take a good look. She’s almost as big as Lily. It’s just that she’s better at dressing to hide this. And Shannannannanna is not all that far behind either. Which is a big part of the reason why this season sucks for me. Bring back Marissa! Wah!

    Did anyone notice that Blind Side (Mario) sang his exit song alone? The other contestants sang the backing vocals as usual but they weren’t behind Mario when he sang his solo. He must have been very difficult to work with and extremely petulant about his exit. Couldn’t see him going any further.

    Hopefully Charlie is next but last year I hated that do-nothing Irish kid so much and he made it the end, I’m afraid it will be the same with Charlie this year.

    Oh yeah, I’m thinking Charlie looks like a young Christoper Walken and Ryan might cast Charlie just to get a Walken guest starring bit.

    I think Blind Side might have a hard time reading audiobooks because he’s blind :P I didn’t like him at all in this competition. Too whiny and liked to cast off all responsibility.

    I think Charlie is hilarious. I also think he’s doing pretty well with his condition. At least he has a teeny excuse, unlike Mario.

    Blake is a hottie but I swear he’s so bland. He’d be gr8 as Finn 2.0

    I think Charlie’s acting like a classic Asperger’s/autistim case, so I don’t fault him for that — it’s the show’s fault for insisting on hiring the offspring of the cast of Freaks for this season.

    Nellis needs a little blakin’ , heh heh. She’ll be great once she unleashes the tigress.

    This season is mad boring.

    And out of the people, I think Abraham should have gone home. I don’t mind his personality, but he’s never really stood out in a good way for me. He’s always trying so hard and it’s painful to watch him because everything is so calculated and careful. I think he just needs to go home, get a firm grip, and then maybe take another run at being on TV. Mario is insane and also needed to go home, but at least he was funny with his delusions of grandeur, two-facedness, and the way that he would recklessly throw shade.

    Charlie is annoying, but adorable and charming in his own little way. I also appreciate that he doesn’t trot out his aspergers as an excuse every time the mentors call him out on his behavior. I do think it’s a valid reason…his lack of impulse control and the way that he can’t figure out how his behavior will come off until the damage is done smacks of aspergers, not of douchebaggery. And he really does seem like a nice boy. I also heard that he and Aylin are together now, so I guess he eventually clawed his way out of the friendzone.

    Speaking of Aylin, she is nowhere near Lily’s size LOL but she’s definitely a bit of a chubster. You can see it in her midsection and arms and she also has a little bit of a double chin thing going. The dress she wore during her last chance performance shows it.

    I feel bad for thinking poorly about Shanna in the beginning. I was wrong about her.

    Blake and Nellis are still cool.
    But Michael has actually started to annoy me a little. I know he’s said like three sentences since the season premiered, but those three are just enough for me to tentatively say that I don’t like him.

    @Lauren – A Lesbian Finn? Is that some type of special swim gear?

    I finally got around to watching this episode.

    Hasn’t Charlie also said that he has ADHD? To me that was seems to be causing most of his problems not his Asperger’s, they keep saying that he’s all over the place. What he was doing on set wasn’t method acting. Method acting is what Heath Ledger did to become The Joker. Charlie was just unnecessarily staying in character. They should just shove some adderall down his throat, it would probable make him so much more tolerable.

    Mario was just kind of insufferable. I’m not sad to seem him go.

    Aylin isn’t fat, she’s just chubby and wears unflattering clothes.

    Well, there’s still a difference between being chubby and being fat. Shannanaanna is chubby. Magic Carpet is fat. But I’ll never understand people who hope to have a career in show business who don’t watch their appearance — unless their career goal is to be a backing/sidekick character type, or they can get by on super-charisma and make a schtick of their non-standard exterior (see: Cee-lo).

    Shanna doesn’t seem to be chubby at all to me. She looks normal sized…

    I am way behind on episodes. They just finally put this on Hulu. I was glad to see Mario go. He was so freaking full of himself it was annoying. He could not take any constructive criticism at all. That is not a good quality. I am sure he doesn’t reflect on why he got eliminated and just blames it on them not knowing what they are doing.

    I like Nellie and Blake for the win. I loathe Lily the most. I kinda like Wheelchair Barbie to a point, because I am a little over the top myself and it can be fun. Works good for stage acting at least.

    Abraham should be next to go. He is bland city.
