Has anyone heard how many people were put through to Hollywood Week?

Yes, but there’s only 2 nights of auditions shows left before Hollywood week. Is Nashville the only city they went to? Why are we seeing so much of it? I’d prefer more of a mix of genres to this oversaturation of country music.

Nothing to see here.

Gah! Was this country night? Auditions feel very heavily skewed toward country artists so far.

I was disappointed not to hear any mention of Stingray. I was waiting for the police to arrive and take TerrySilver in for questioning…unless he killed Stingray and dumped the body. He’s unhinged enough!

I was blown away by Chris the homeless activist’s episode. What a good man, to channel his trauma into helping others. I felt like he connected with the Fab 5 because he could feel their deep respect for what he does. And Bobby sounded so authentic when he and Chris talked about how they themselves experienced homelessness. I hope Chris receives back all the good he puts into the world a hundred fold. just a beautiful episode. And he looked so good after his makeover!

The way Camille jumped from G’s initialed pan in Emily’s kitchen to the conclusion they must have slept together was way too contrived. There are reasonable explanations for why his prized pan ended up in Emily’s place. The way it played out makes no sense to me. I think Mindy is my favorite character this season. I’m always glad to see her when she shows up on screen.

I don’t think Jimmie is too broken up about leaving. He’s got a new baby at home. It’s got to be exhausting flying back and forth and taking care of a newborn. Good riddance, Olivia.

I adore Chigs. He posted some pics from a Bake-off Halloween party on his Instagram.

I wonder if the foreshadowing was put in on purpose by the producers? Freya talks about her mother telling her they can come pick her up on Tuesday, and she’s the one eliminated this week. Juergen talks about only one host on the German Bake-off, and Matt is the only host during the final judging. I’ll have to start paying attention to what people say during this show. I also wondered if Lizzie’s direct conversation with Noel during the showstopper round had something to do with him sitting out the rest of the show. She was pretty harsh with him about being annoying and disruptive. I know many people don’t enjoy his sense of humor, but he is one of the main reasons I watch. I generally love Lizzie’s commentary, but this just seemed too much.

Everyone was good. I couldn’t pick someone to go home based on dancing tonight. However, I would love to see Olivia get the boot because I think it’s BS that she’s here. We shouldn’t reward bad behavior and entitlement with more attention and validation.

I remember him looking terrible on Cobra Kai, like he could barely walk. If he hasn’t had knee replacements yet, he desperately needs them or is due for new ones. That said, I’d prefer to see Olivia go home first. All I could think during her intro was “did her parents make a ‘donation’ to the judges?” Why are we rewarding entitlement and bad behavior?

Ken really buzzed through those questions on the final chase last night (Sept12). I was glad to see it, because I was really not impressed with these contestants. The drama coach (Ari?) took over during the final in an overbearing way. Who buzzes in just to pass? Give the other contestant a chance! He was quick on the draw with some answers but not a very good team player.

I was so glad to see Match Game back tonight, but good lord, may I please never be subjected to “Ilaria” Baldwin again.

I’m watching this season right now too. Nadiya did make a soufflé. It was just not the best. Even though it came in 4th, it was still edible. And the funniest line of the episode was when she said that she’d rather have another baby than make a soufflé again.

While I kind of figured Casey would be the one to go, everyone in the final 4 was great, and any of them would be excellent Idols. I loved Willie’s and Grace’s original songs.

I totally expected Madison and Beane to get the boot tonight, but Ava was a surprise.

All of her outfits are unflattering. A stylist needs to help her, STAT!

I really wish someone would give Grace some advice on dressing for her figure. Don’t they have someone on the show to do that?

Dear God, Hannah Everhard was so bad. Mr. DietCokeJunkie looked up from his phone in disgust and asked if we could turn the tv off. Hope nobody’s doing vote for the worst this year! And the constantly bringing up the ribs is not cute. Just stop.

When are they doing eliminations? At the end of tonight's show? I'm really confused.

They’re cutting it down to 24 next week. In the previews, the judges mentioned they were looking for the “top 24.”

Thank god Claudia Conway is gone.

Wow. Thanks for that recap!

Does anyone know how many they started with and how many made it through?
