Down to Vic and Natalie.

Hopefully once Paul gets some "blood on his hands" he'll be targeted and gone for good. Knowing my luck, he'll have the round trip ticket.

Really enjoyed Nia's video. Though I kinda agreed with Abby's criticism (hiding in the corner now) - the vibe of the video didn't quite match the song. BUT Nia looked amazing!!! And her dancing was spot on (in my opinion, the dancing in her video was better than the dancing in Kendall's video). Nia has serious potential and presence. If she is mentored by the right people, I can see her making it a few years down the road.

My theory: Erik wanted a stereotypical hot wife and Nadine wanted a baby.

I'm convinced that the producers dropped a very heavy hint about using process of elimination on previous match ups. Clearly these people weren't going to figure it out by themselves. My money's on Tyler and Brandon being a match as well. Not only do we know that Brandon's match has to be either Briana or Tyler but using process of elimination on the second match up ceremony, we know that either Alex and Anthony or Tyler and Brandon are a perfect match. While it's possible that Alex and Anthony are a perfect match, we haven't seen that pair interact much at all. Personally, I would love if the logic puzzle took a larger role in the show. I guess one can dream for at least a season full of hot mathematicians, scientists and engineers...

I'm pretty sure the grammar of the original statement is correct. The subject of the sentence is "number", not "matches". Since "number" is a singular, the appropiate conjugation of the "to be" verb is "is" ("the number is" sounds much better than "the number are"). If the subject of the sentence was "matches", then using "are" would be appropiate. (I admit I'm not a grammar expert, just had a lot of this stuff drilled into my head studying for the GMAT. :) )
