Owww my brain. I’ve watched some “reality competition” shows such as Fear Factor, America’s Best Dance Crew and even a couple ANTM (blame the last two on little bro) but none of these have an episode dedicated to elimination.
And it is PAINFUL. Because they have to fill an hour and only have 20 minutes of real content.
I’m vaguely aware of the Jonas Brothers. Their performance didn’t wow me. I preferred the dance by the Cirque Du Soleil guy and laughed when I heard the opening line from Meatloaf’s “I’ll Do Anything for Love But I won’t Do That”. MEATLOAF!!
On to the eliminations… YAY!! Steve was first saved. But I noticed there was a pattern in the announcing of the saves. Since they made it clear each time that of the last two couples, one of them was NOT in the bottom two, that means Adam and Marissa were 4th ranked respectively. So who were the 5th rankers? My theory is that they were the first ones called so that makes it Steve (sigh) and Shannon (surprising).
I loved that at the end as the camera moves off Marissa, you can see a pair of silver encased arms throwing themselves around her neck. Awwww! Who made friends? Shannon & Marissa!
Next week is going to be tough, the bottom four as I see it “in no particular order” are Adam, Steve, Marissa & Shannon. I’m betting that Adam will be the next eliminated but at this point I couldn’t safely say who is the next one on the bubble. I would have thought Shannon to be 4th ranked but they were very clear on that Marissa was NOT 5th. I suspect people are being harder on her than the others. Stop it!
Lastly, Cristian…. may end up being crippled by his dance partner because though I barely pay attention to tabloid fodder especially about reality show people, all I could think about when I saw her was … CHEATER. It’s not fair to Cristian but I know I wouldn’t mind seeing her gone either. Too distracting.
Parting thought, Steve is … interesting. I find myself wanting to know more about what he is like. I wonder if my friend’s ever run across him.
