Oh, Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. They’re doing a group sing _already_? Theme nights _and_ a group sing in the prune-the-finalists stage? What are they trying to do, kill us?

They do put the names on the screen when they’re singing. That’s how I knew how to make my cheatsheet.

If I’m typing, I’m not looking at the TV. But I will try very, very hard not to write posts about ‘him’ or ‘her’ and mention who I’m talking about.

Heh. Group sing is my favorite part of vote night. So bad that it’s fun. 24 in a group sing, though, too much.

I can’t remember their names either, by the time I’m posting (or when I’m reading). But I find even something like Ugly Orange Suit Guy is usually enough of a clue when reading.

Damn, that was quick.

They axed Garrett, for those who would prefer not to know about it right now, and they did it very unceremoniously after a recap of all the guys.

And for the girls:

After torturing Horse Girl by calling her up, Ryan sent her back and axed Amy. Whose singout was as bad as her initial performance, if not worse.
