They have always been lip synched. Who’s the guy that wants to be Michael Jackson? ---

His version of “Imagine” is so bad that when a couple on **So You Think You Can Dance** danced to it, I watched their dance with the TV muted. He ruined the melody and I like that song way too much to have his revolting version of it anywhere in my memory if possible. ---

He didn’t say he was sending the top of those three back to safety, just sending “one of them,” so I am guessing Mike was actually the 7th place contestant and they left him there for more drama. If you just said “Andrew’s going home,” everyone would say “oh,” but now they can pretend there was a shock or upset or something. ---

I figured they’d have held on to that, go figure. Won’t it suck if it just buys one more week, though? ---
