Yeah, pretty much the only decision I agreed with was Caroline. And let me just say, thank god.

The worst save in my mind was Josiah. I'm at least happy he was in the bottom two because I think that bodes well for his imminent elimination given how weak Usher's team is overall

Note: All coaches got rid of their steal (except Blake who didn't take either to this round). Sasha is the only steal left in the competition now.

megan,

I noticed that as well. I figure Steals aren't long for this show. I am so glad about Caroline and that is the only one with which I agreed. I think Garrett was the worst save, but oh well. Nice to know 3 of the judges have easy eliminations next week.

Yeah, I really dislike Josiah (not that Garrett belongs there either--on my blog write-up, I called producer shenangians starting with the battle rounds on that one).

Nice to know 3 of the judges have easy eliminations next week.

I don't think they have a say anymore do they? Doesn't it go to a strict audience vote now? That's why I suspect Josiah will be at the bottom.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh shit. I don't know! I thought they continue to choose between the two bottom until the final 4.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh thank goodness. Now I can watch it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Haha. I had the same reaction.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Garret staying on The Voice over Karina was a travesty. I don't like the Swon Brothers, but I didn't much care about the other country boy whose name I've already forgotten from Blake's team either, so that's kind of a wash. I would trade them both out in a heartbeat for Grace Askew. Word.

I was fine with Caroline leaving because I really could only understand every third word of her song, but I will say that Sarah Simmons was pitchy on that rendition of Angel, not to go all Dawg on you but it was appropriate in this case. I didn't mind Cathia going, although she should've kicked Usher in his cute tushie on the way out the door. I Have Nothing? Really? Worse song choice of the round. Yes, worse than Imagine. That said, Josiah needs to be off my TV real soon. He may be pretty, but the fool can't sing and his attempts at playing the guitar were laughable.

I'm all about Michelle, Amber, Sasha and Judith in that order.

AI is also still really good this season which is sad because nobody's watching it due to all the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad producing and judging. I am so glad that they are ditching the entire panel next year. Well, only Randy has formally announced that he won't be back but I cannot imagine that they would have either Mimi or Nikki back next season given how terrible they've both been each in their own awful way. Also, Mariah Carey is too old to rock a white half shirt on TV and I don't care how good her body is. And her new video looks like homemade porn. All very sad for her. I do hope they consider bringing Keith back next season, though, because he's delightful. I doubt the show will get much better as it's really the producers who fuck everything up.

Finally, SYTYCD back on Tuesday. What what? I cannot wait. Cannot wait!

Fucking CBS. Why the f are the results is a separate episode? Their hate-on for people using DVRs is so aggravating.
