Looks like the 8:30E/7:30C of The Office is a repeat. ---

> [@AuntiePam](#): > > You’re all too young to remember him in his heyday, but Lambert reminds me of a young Rex Reed. I’d link to a photo but I don’t know how. [http://home.comcast.net/~hanson68/reed.jpg](http://home.comcast.net/~hanson68/reed.jpg) You’re right, Auntie! I was trying to put my finger on it, and there you are. Adam is prettier than kd lang.

So, the producers thought the contestants were so bad on the medleys, that they felt it had to be pre-recorded? S^G ---

Matt in the bottom 3 is a surprise. If he’s the one eliminated, I bet the judges will save him. ---

I’m not sure if they will… he’s good, but I think they’ll only save someone they think is good enough to win, and I don’t think he’s that one… ---

I don’t think Simon would save Matt, but Paula probably would. What?? Scott’s safe?? ETA: **Tamara** , before even looking at the website, I’m guessing that their pick is Megan Joy.
