After more tears from Jillian and more attempts at making her eyeballs leak from CeCe, Demi finally announces that Jillian will be going home. And Jillian literally breaks down like I did when Izzy is lying in the hospital bed next to Denny’s body. Goddamn. And that shit is contagious too. Demi starts tearing, while Jennel and Jillian sob in one another’s arms.

So CeCe is through, and while that isn’t really a surprise, it’s just like, WHY?!!! She’s the worst! Has there been anyone more deserving of hatred that would otherwise be unfair than she? All she wants to do is sing and be an asshole, but I hate her more than I hate the network exec who canceled Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. And I HATE that motherfucker. When I see him, he’s dead. Madd dead, yo.

And finally, we’re back at Simon’s home in Miami, where he will be narrowing the Groups category from 6 to 4. First we catch up with Lyric145, the rap group made up of Lyric Da Queen and 145 (they went simple with the name, I see). Simon tells them that he likes that the group had humor in their performance and that they are natural performers. Simon tells them they’re through. Yay! But, then holy fuck! In a scary moment for the show, Simon seems to be having a stroke!!! Quick, call the ambulamps!

Unless, that’s a… smile? 

Next up is Dope Crisis, who face Simon after he’s recovered from the suicide smile attempt. Simon tells them that he wonders if he can see them as recording artists, and if they can replace anyone in the market. Simon delivers the bad news, and Dope Crisis is going home. That was definitely expected.

Emblem 3 is next to hear the new from Simon, and though I’m positive they’re getting pushed through to the next round, I really don’t want them to. I don’t get the appeal, Simon! I’m not on board! You hear me, Simon? Some flat chested, broke, no insurance having ass TV recapper in Brooklyn doesn’t like these toothy LFO wannabes, and I just know you make all your business decisions with people like me in mind. Simon lectures the boys on their lazy performance, but he puts them through to the live shows. And oh look! One of them somersaults into the pool! Because he’s excited and fun and totally cool, brah. Ugh. I don’t want to put up a photo of these guys, so, here’s a picture of my husband, Idris Elba.

Oooooh, zaaaaaddy. You can get through to my live show ANYTIME! Actually, I’m really embarrased I wrote that. Please forgive me.

It’s Sister C’s turn to get their news. Simon tells them that he can imagine hearing them on the radio, as all three have distinct voices, but he worries about their likability. But! They’re through!

So now it’s down to LYLAS and Playback. Is this supposed to be a suspenseful final 2 acts? Ugh, fine Simon. I’ll humor you. Both groups really want this, it would be the worst to get rejected, blah, blah, blah. How much longer do I have to keep this up? All we need is a yes today. We’re nervous. Which one of you can deliver?

    Wow! That picture of Simon actually kinda scared me for a second. I guess he’s proving that cosmetic enhancements that turn you into some kind of joker-looking creature aren’t only for women anymore. Way to pave the way for equality, Simon!

    Obviously Tara was convinced she had this one in the bag, since she was the only gal among the older set. Sucks to be her. It would have been fun to watch her go head to head with CeCe though (except I’m still convinced the producers suckered CeCe into a bad edit). I still think CeCe will be the most fun to watch of all these people, she’s just so over the top.

    But I don’t see Amurricca voting for a group. Unless the Lylas turns out to be Mormons, in which case, the LDS will do whatever it takes to make sure they win. Seeing as how this is the Year of the Mormon on reality TV.

    I’ve always said Tara Simon is what CeCe will be in 10 yrs. I’m glad she made it and not Jilian, at least CeCe seems fun. Love the Cosby show reference of the Gordon Gartrelle shirt talking about Willie. I think this cast is a whole lot better and more interesting than last season.

    I was impressed at how evil Demi could be . . . maybe she is mature beyond her years! Those Disney kids, they start em young!!!

    I hope Jason and Vino can give me a moment or two in the show. The kiddies, meh, but it seems the right ones got through, and surprisingly, the male to female ratio was not a consideration.

    LA is so dumb . . . does he not see why people would like Vino . . . sigh . . . the whole package is the whole point.
    Still not getting country boy with the 90′s hair . . . I’m hopin’ for a makeover. I suspect he’ll get lost in opposing advice, just sayin’.

    @juddfan I feel the same way. How can LA not see what people will like about Vino? I really hope he goes far.

    I loved Tara’s face when he told her no. She looked like she was saying “You’re kidding, right??”. So happy she didnt make it through.

    I loved Willie Jones reaction (and like him in general). I watched it twice and it made me smile each time. He seems like a good/cute kid. Out that group he might be my favorite…with Jennel coming in 2nd. Both Paige AND CeCe bug me.

    Of all the kids, I like Carly & Arin the most. I think Beatrice is going to have a hard time w/each elimination.

    The groups? eh…the only ones I really like are Lyric 145. The 3 brothers bother me to no end.

    The children, Carly Rose and Beatrice, et cetera, are too young. X-Factor is ugly to put them into this at that age of 13. I say raise the age to 16, although they are great singers.
