Our penultimate competitors are Dave and Zoe. Dave is a fat teacher and Zoe is his hot new wife, and the two are quite adorable as they frolic together in their purple dance outfits and make-up. The introduce themselves as Parodizo Dance (I thought they said Paradies of Dance at first and I was ready for an entirely different act) and she proceeds to stand on his shoulders very artistically. But the REAL talent comes when they get back on the ground. Zoe manages to flip giant Dave over her tiny little frame, and then actually supports his weight while leaning back and holding him. We finally understand that she needed to marry someone large in order to showcase her freakish strength, and the judges go all Biggest Loser on them and ask for their weights. Zoe weighs 100 lbs. (girl needs to eat) and our man Dave weigh 240 lbs! The judges of course vote them through, though really they only need to send Zoe and anything heavy. Who am I kidding, I love their little love story and that a guy like Dave can get with Zoe! If only he would have punched Nick when he refered to his "big ass" they would have bumped the EriAm sisters from the exclusive Recapper's Choice.
One final break and it's time for one final act. Yes, I'm just as shocked as you that we made it TWO HOURS together, but here we are on the home stretch. We meet Michael, Nadya, and Avery, siblings that make up Voices of Glory. They seem like really cute kids, but just contrast their video package with "Shine's" to see the power of a good edit. The kids talk about how singing helps them through tough times, and then tell the judges about how they began after their mother was injured by a drunk driver. They inform us that she lived, briefly opening the possibility that they might not get voted through before showing us that she is in a wheelchair and slamming it shut again. Voices of Glory brings down the house with a rendition of God Bless America. Sharon is in tears and the judges give them a standing ovation, and then while they wait for the forgone vote the kids actually look nervous, like there's any way they will not get a yes and win the entire competition. The judges give them the obligatory amazing comments about being the pride of America and highly inspirational, and then the croud chants for the mother to join them on the stage. Each of the judges gives a dramatic yes and assures us that we've never had such a moment on the show before, and the family continues to hug and rejoice as the show ends with relatively little further fanfare.
So what did we think? Which act will make it the furthest in the competition? Does anyone else hate Nick as much as me? Did Voices of Glory do it for you like the producers wanted? How sweet will it be when I win vicariously through the EriAm Sisters?

Could anyone tell if the guy in the Micheal Cera picture was that one guy from a few seasons back on idol. (Kenneth?) The one that auditioned with the bush baby lookalike.
