Hi all. Just watched the tape. Amazing results. who would have thought it? A few thoughts:

FYI..Lady Gaga was born and raised in YONKERS..that pretty much explains it all

Did you notice at the beginning of the show how out of it Haley was? She missed her mark at the start, when Ryan was introducing the four of them, and forgot to walk towards him. And at the start of her duet with Lauren, she looked really unhappy..probably figured she was gone..

Once Lauren was announced as safe first, then it was obvious that a stunner was coming up..that one of the guys was going home. Consider..if it was one of the girls leaving, then the two guys would have been put through first, and the two girls would have been up there last, side by side, hugging each other and crying. Made for drama.

I've written that I obviously don't get James..his music, but he has stage presence. Probably better for him that he didn't win..metal is sorta counter-culture, and AI is about as pablum as you can get. But he was obviously stunned at the news..and gotta like him for his honest emotion...fighting back the tears. Good for him. He really believed he was going to make the final show..last two standing..

This totally changes the dynamic...right now I think that any of the three could win. I have NO idea who. Remember, they didn't tell us who got the most votes, in order. One thought...if one of the girls goes home next week..then I think Scotty wins, and easily. If by chance, Scotty goes next week,, then I haven't a clue.

Scotty is gonna have a BALL when he goes back home...

Personal note: FYI..I have a triathlon next Saturday.. my second..training's going well. Tomorrow morning we're doing a 500 meter swim, 20k bike ride, and 5k run...last beig traing session pre-race..

Good luck to you. AI usually does “the bottom two” first. This time they had golden stools and were just doing the “safe” first. They switched that straight up. I can’t believe Haley stayed and James is history but James was getting a little careless imo and I always voted for him but they should STAND STILL more instead of prancing around. It ain’t dancing with the stars!

Good luck. Enjoy all three of those sports from personal experience.

Good luck on your triathlon! Woo hoo, I am so impressed! Stay in one piece til then!

I agree with your assessment of the final 2 weeks. And James’s sincerity. I love the guy. And I am no metal fan either.
