So there are many of you who loyally watch these shows and, like me, make continual comments to the television whether anyone else is in the room or not. Alternately, there are many of you who do not have the time to keep up with reality TV – there are too many shows, your tivos runneth over, you have kids and can’t remember what it’s like to watch anything beyond Dora the Explorer (you know who you are) – but you also want to be “in the know.” That’s fine. Let me help you understand.

The Voice: Girls, Girls, Girls

This week’s elimination episode of The Voice opens with a tribute to Oklahoma and those who were affected by the devastating storms there. Blake hails from Oklahoma, and he and joins his wife Miranda Lambert for a tender performance of “Over You.” Their eyes are teary as donation information for disaster relief appears on the screen below them. This is a classy and touching way for The Voice to show support, and I can’t imagine it was easy for our country coach to apply an already emotional song to yet another tragedy so close to home.
 
 
The somber atmosphere lingers as we prepare to say goodbye to two more contestants tonight. The contenders are sent to safety in pairs…
Danielle Bradbery and Judith Hill
Michelle Chamuel and Sasha Allen
Sarah Simmons and Holly Tucker
Amber Carrington and The Swon Brothers
 
This leaves Josiah Hawley and Kris Thomas as the lowest vote getters…and eliminated from the show. So Team Usher and Team Shakira each only have one contestant remaining, while Team Blake and Team Adam are still 3 members strong. Can Michelle and Sasha prevail next week? I would like to think so, but there are some ridiculously strong female competitors on the show this season. We’ll see which of them triumphs and whether The Swon Brothers can survive all of the estrogen next week. Til then!
