   I could have sworn Dark Generic was Blake and Blonde Generic was Micheal, this caused me to spend most of the episode in confusion.

   So my mom watches the show too, and we were talking about it, and she said that she didn’t like this season either and that they had some “funny looking creatures this season.”

   I really don’t understand why Tyler came on the show. Every episode he had an excuse, didn’t he watch last season, he should have known what he would have to do. And if he wasn’t ready then he should have waited to come on, and spared us having to listen his whining about how he’s still getting used to his body.

   I’ve met girls like Magic Carpet before. Either they’re still virgins (because of religious reasons or whatever) but are wildly interested in sex, probably because of the taboo thing, and therefore extremely successful cockteases. Or they’re not virgins, but they’re so complexed about the whole sex thing that when it gets down to it, they freeze up. I’m going to assume Magic Carpet’s a virgin and she’s all talk.

   I’m going to hope Lily is still a virgin, but I’m sure she isn’t and that most of her sexual experiences involve heavy intake of alcohol.

   I’m also assuming that Tyler still has functional ladyparts but when he mentions starting his sexuality a few months ago, he was referring to a different orifice. An a-ha moment if there ever was one.

   Shananana just looks all slobbery, doesn’t she. Like one of the loveable cartoon dogs with spit dripping from their muzzle.

   Charlie spoke about himself in the third person. Charlie is dead to me.

   Meanwhile, Nellis continues to come alive on camera — it’s kind of uncanny. She looks awful when in every other situation. But get her singing and she just shines.

   the hw assignment was some bullsh*t. Blake shouldve taken that thing easily. I think him and Nellis are my favorites. They had really good chemistry in the video i thought. Best part of the vid for sure.
   Charlie REALLY likes Aylin, its becoming a liability for him.

   is it bad that i liked that generic hottie 2 forgot his lyrics? The last chance performances are so boring so at least he made me cringe/laugh. He probably forgot the lyrics on purpose so his last chance performances will be memorable, like Damian’s “jessie’s girl”. If he is going to go home might as well have people remember you because before that he had nothing to be remembered for. Math geeks are smart. Way to manipulate us all michael, im very proud.

   Damian flubbed one word in the chorus. GH2 pretty much forgot 2/3 of the lyrics. theres a difference there. I dont think he wouldve messed that much up on purpose

   I feel kind of bad for Magic Carpet– I have my doubts that she’s as bad in real life as she is on the show, but as Ellis pointed out last season, when Ryan Murphy gives you a clue about the character he sees you as, you better play to that character if you want to stay (one reason why season 1′s “young at heart” character was axed in the second ep).
   I think that the regular/popular cast members are possibly making the hw winners worse. Notice that every winner (except Shanna) ended up pretty close to the bottom, if not ~in~ B3. We’ll have to see after Kevin shows up (who mentored last season) if it’s the cast or the contenders.
   I’m sorry Lily, but when you try to usurp MC’s ‘flirt’ role, it paints you in a very different way than her (like uber desperate instead of attention whore)
   Charlie is really never going to make it as an actor period if he can’t learn to back off and focus (unless sleeping with Ryan really does hand you the competition)
   Ryan/etc are really trying way too hard to spice up this show– there’s no real drama, and since everyone’s sexing it up with everyone, there’s no opportunity to note any chemistry or connectability. Boo to R/I/B– yea for Zach though– best thing to ever happen to the Glee Project; it should be all about him!

   OMG, I’m back with the smell of moth balls emanating off me! I’m happy to see this show getting capped and commented on! Yay! I was just showing a friend of mine Alex from last season’s version of “And I Am Telling You” He blows all these kiddies away! He really should have won.

   Tyler reminds me of Urkel, but a bit less nerdy. Should have been generic hitting the road. I find it funny that you’re describing those two as generic, it’s exactly the way I described them to my friend, I may have said “blank” instead.

   I think Shanna was a fish in a previous life, I’m getting Nemo in her close-ups, but she’s my favorite of this bunch. I like Charlie’s singing, but I don’t care for him much. I like Nellis too, kind of Pink sounding . . .

   As for the last chance performances, they are sung live for Ryan in the short form. They may be sweetened for the broadcast, though. My friend works on the show.

   I wasn’t back yet last week, but I would have been fine with all three getting cut, instead of them all being saved. Lilly is too aggressive for my taste, and Blind Side . . . I just don’t like him much. His singing is not that great, and he’s rather grandiose.

   Didn’t Nikki say last week that this show was meant as a bootcamp and that NOBODY was ready? So them saying that Tyler wasn’t ready seemed a little ridiculous, especially when GH2 couldn’t even sing in front of Ryan without messing up the lyrics.

   That being said, Tyler has been my favorite from the beginning and I was actually sad to see him go home, so I may be a little biased… But even bitch Zach looked sad when Ryan said he knew Tyler needed to go.

    she did say that, Mary, and she wasn’t being very nice about it either!!! I really thought she was out for Generic Blood, after booting him from the booth . . . guess she’s not the boss.

    Doesn’t Charlie claim to have Asberger’s? That would explain his inability to control himself.

    They should have a spinoff reality show focusing on Nikki, Zach and the guy with the black toupee (Robert?), sort of like Models of the Runway.

    ^ I agree, except for no Nikki.
    It should be just Robert and Zach….the mix of Robert’s kind gentility and Zach’s cutting bitchiness would be amazing.

    And when Nikki said that none of them were ready, I took it as none of them are ready to be on Glee, which is true. But Tyler is not even ready for GleePro, which is also true. His voice is not great, dancing skills are pretty much nonexistent, and he radiates awkwardness. And it’s not the cool awkwardness that you want to bask in, it’s that horrible, searing, pubescent awkwardness that nobody wants any part of. So as much as I’m not a fan of Generic #2, Ryan made the right decision.

    Shanna has grown on me and so has Nellie. She looked so good in the video, I was all shocked.
    I also like Blake.
    I don’t like Mario, but his low key bitchiness and the way he talks like some Shakespearean actor from the 60′s is entertaining.
    Everyone else is blah or bleh.

    I…enjoyed it? The way they clean up the songs makes the vocals pretty tolerable. I like Nellie’s voice though I agree she should be more interesting and less dead-pan. The last thing they need on Glee is more flat, lifeless actors. *cough Dianna Agron cough* In a way, I kind of enjoyed how bad many of the contestants were because there are just too many of them to keep track of right now. When they perform badly it gives me a chance to spot weaknesses.

    Right now, I’d say my faves are Nellie, Blake, and Lily Mae. I could tolerate some of the others on Glee depending on if they show that they can act in the future.

    Oh, and I agree with chaosbutterfly. Nikki can go. If anything, being pregnant has made her meaner. And not in a hilarious, snarky way like Zach.

    In this week’s episode there’s a moment where Nikki’s speaking and her eyes become soulless black voids threatening to suck the rest of the world into the void….

    hee . . . I don’t know why I’m loving the Nikki hate . . . hee . . . but I am! They would not make a bobble head of her, I’m sure it would be a nut cracker. I do hate to say tho, man, when they come in singing all around the pitch and no where near the melody (Mario, Generic #2-I’m looking at you!) I can’t help but sympathize with her . . . even if she’s not the one doing the auto-tune, LOL!!!

    La Petite, I have to add *cough Dreds cough*, he was like a set piece . . . some double win! Damian, same thing. Alex was really the only one I found “glee”ish. And the other girl, Lindsay!?, meh.

    I wish they were trying for new teachers here, so we could get rid of Mr. Shue once and for all . . . I just can’t with him . . . I just can’t!

    @juddfan I agree about Joe (Dreds) and Damian. Alex was weak at first but when they started to really dig into his plotline he proved to be an alright actor. I actually really liked Lindsay. I hope we see more of her. They need the kind of type A character who isn’t Rachel Berry or Quinn Fabray. Lindsay can play the kind of girl who isn’t actually mean but just ambitious to the point of mild psychosis.

    I thought Will was a good character in the beginning when it seemed like they were going to develop him. I think his parents were Victor Garber and Debra Monk who tragically never got to sing. Glee is great about bringing on guest stars and then wasting them sometimes. And the Acafellas? But then his life became a mess and he became kind of pathetic as a character. I don’t know if they can bring his character back.

    The thing I’m most annoyed about is that their apparently inviting everyone back. How many characters are they going to have on this show? I was OK with the fact that they seemed to have written off Mike Chang, Mercedes, Puck, Quinn, and temporarily Finn in the season finale. But now all of them + the rest of the cast + the new people + whoever wins the Glee project + enough people to make a team for regionals are apparently going to be on the show. And Ryan Murphy is off working on other projects. Someone please tell me it’s all going to work out.

    I’m looking forward to the Rachel character’s cross-over into next season’s Smash.

    @itchy Lea can’t cross-over into Smash because she’d show up McPhee and Hilty too much. I don’t mind Katherine McPhee’s weak acting because to me she’s only there to sing and I still think of her as an Idol contestant which makes her pretty good. But Hilty is completely overrated. She was not a good replacement for Cheno in Wicked and she’s certainly not the best youngish Broadway diva floating around. I’ll take Rachel York or Laura Benanti over Hilty any day.

    I really love Nellie’s voice. It’s like a mix of Amy MacDonald and Shakira!
