I’m a fan of Michael’s new look with the floppy hair and glasses. I’m kind of thinking of changing his name to Generic Cutie, because he seems to be playing up the charming Jewish math geek thing a bit more lately.

Lily is too loud when they sing in a group and she’s all sad about it. Volume is not something unchangeable. It’s really not that hard.

In her sesh with Amber we learn that WB was hurt when she was 2 and that’s when she lost her legs. Amber says she’s had to work harder than everyone else so she should use that to her advantage.

Really, they’re ending the video with WB shooting a basketball into a hoop? The wheelchair girl? How many times are they going to have to redo this video. It’s hard enough to shoot a basket when you have full use of your legs.

Carpet has to help Lily strip so she can get in position faster. Luckily the two most attractive competitors are the ones doing it. LOL YEAH RIGHT. Imagine if it was Blake and Generic Cutie? Mmmmm. Another show idea for Lifetime maybe, Extreme Stripping? They should pay me for this shit.

After 12 takes everyone is getting PISSED OFF. It does seem pretty tiring.

Abe slips while running around, but he keeps going.

After 25 takes they finally get close (WB misses the basket). It’s really not fair to put everything on WB’s shoulders to get the ball in, especially since it’s really hard when you’re sitting. Shnnannaaa throws up and I feel bad.

Jesus ain’t helping her now

Video Notes

- That sweat suit is not flattering on Carpet (or anyone really, but it makes her look especially lumpy)

- Blake’s voice actually sounds like something for once!

- Lily’s face is scary
That must be what she looks like if you get between her and her cheesecake

- So lucky that Lily was on the bottom of the pyramid
- WB is clearly freaking out before they pick up her chair
                                                        Her thoughts right here: Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit

- It’s basically an ’80s sports movie montage

 I don’t really know who the last chance people will be except for Abe.

Hey, I just noticed Nikki wasn’t there at the shoot! She was probably home stuffing her face with cookie dough ice cream and pickles. Funnily enough I didn’t miss her. But she says she did see “some” of the video. What, she couldn’t be bothered to watch all 2 and a half minutes of it? That’s so Nikki.

    I felt so bad for generic cutie the whole episode. “blake did well in the studio” “blake is better” “blake wouldnt have messed up on the jump rope like you did” poor kid probably wants to kill himself. i did love the glasses and do personally prefer him to blake because he is more interesting.

    Im honestly afraid to say anything bad about lilu because she scares me. I had nightmares about the faces she made in the music video.

    WB has become my favorite and i have no idea how that happened because i didnt like het at first but girl is the shit.

    Dont really understand why shanna was picked for the show. She has a good voice but there are other way more attractive girls with good voices out there.

    Abraham is so obsessed with himself. I checked out his twitter and he is so fame hungry and annoying. He isnt shy about his hate for aylin and michael eithet (which makes me like them a bit more….) aylin does need to chill though and not get so excited about everything.

    I think generic cutie might win because they are setting him up as the underdog and Glee loves an underdog! Plus, they are best friends and the show is editing it so much to try and pin them up against eachother.

    I think Shannanna was using one of those quaint down home expressions that keeps the South just cute enough that we don’t just boot them out of the States once and for all. Let Mexico have ‘em. Those rednecks wouldn’t stand a chance against the new narco army.

    Anyhoo, the point is Shannannanana was just saying she can sing as well as Amber Riley. Uh-huh. Sure. (She probably is a jesus freak, since 90% of Southerners seem to be, but she’s been good enough not to speak about it. In fact, there’s been a lot less jesusfreakery this reality tv season — must be the whole gay marriage thing. )

    I’m happy to hear that “charming Jewish math geek” is hot nowadays. I was born 30 years too late. Sigh. But I can’t stand his voice — it still has that “going through puberty” vibe to it. And he’s really too bland to be interesting. And besides, it’s obvious he’s just there as a fluffer for Blake.

    Lily, on the other hand, just makes the bile churn into my mouth. She overacts the shit out of everything she does. Even when she’s just speaking normally. Ick. Get her the fuck off my screen!

    The whole gym video torture sequence was fascinating though. Did they really think these people could pull this off? Hell, even GOOD actors and singers would have trouble with this one. And they threw all this at this bunch of out-of-shape hacks? Madness.

    Also, sure, Barbie’s sweet and all and definitely rocks that wheelchair. But she looks like she’s 30. No way they can fake her as a high-school kid. Maybe they can bring her in as a teacher?

    Lastly, please go easier on Nikki. I’m seriously infatuated with her and her squinty eyes.

    I’m sorry but I think Lily should have gone home for murdering a classic Streisand song. The half of the lyrics she remembered she didn’t even get right and the rest she just blaaahbrluburplebraaa’d her way through and I was cringing the entire time.

    …my mother loved Funny Girl, it was her favorite musical. So I have a soft spot for it. Sue me. >.>

    Oh Itchy, I can see WB looking younger much more than Abe . . . he always looked too old for me. I think I said earlier, I wish they would consider finding new teachers and get rid of Mr. Douch . . . I mean Shue. I just can’t with him!

    Exhibit A:

    And as I always ask, is it me!?

    Blake is still boring to me, I really hope he doesn’t win-but that’s just me. ; )

    I think I’m rooting for Shananana and WB most . . . I also don’t hate aylin as much as you guys, hee . . . but feel free to bash me endlessly for my opinion! ; )

    L-Money, I forgot to say how awesome your cap was!

    “Jesus ain’t helping her now” that was sooo funny! And it was a very cruel challenge. To show a sunk basketball is almost always a cut shot so the actual ball going in part can be re-filmed until they get it.

    These continuous shot videos, meh, what’s the point!? Oh yeah, Tenacity!

    And lastly, I believe the kiddies are encouraged to completely lose it for the song choice- I could be wrong . . .

    Poor generic… He’s not as good as Blake and everyone reminds him of it CONSTANTLY. I’m not really rooting for anyone that’s left, but if forced to choose I guess I’m rooting for Shannanna and Blake… Sadly next week is the couple-dom video shoot and and it’s too bad Nellis is gone because you just know her and Blake would’ve been shoved together but instead we get Blake and WB, which just looks…

    And I, too, was hoping that once Abraham saw his name under not called back that he was gonna stay true to his on stage vow and just say “no, I’m not gonna leave. What’s next week’s homework song? I call line 4!”

    I preferred the fill-in-the-blank version! (or the Mad-libs version?)

    Robert said Nikki was going to miss the video shoot because she had a Glee recording session.

    I like WB too, I can’t figure out when that happened.

    Abraham wears boots like that and expects people to think he’s straight. It was time for him to go. He was really annoying. I can’t believe he was surprised at being cut, he had to see that he pissed Ryan off.

    If they do 3rd season I really hope they get better contestants.

    I really liked when Lily the bully got bullied at bit by Aylin during the group recording session. Good enough. Its not so nice with your faults being pointed out and laughed at is it Lily?
