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 X Factor: Where My Girls At?

It's elimination night on The X Factor and two more acts will be shown the door this evening. Any team could be completely eliminated in this hour as Demi and Simon both have two acts remaining and Paulina and Kelly each have one. Is it too late to bring Lillie back?
 
We start results show with the act that received the overall lowest number of votes. This week that act is.... Ellona. WHOA. This is a surprise to me and clearly a surprise to her. I realize we're getting down to the wire and the eliminations are tough but I never would have expected her to be the automatic elimination tonight. Bummer.
 
Jeff, Restless Road and Alex & Sierra are announced safe, leaving Rion and Carlito in the bottom 2. Well we already know how this is going to go. The judges inexplicably drooled over Carlito last night and he's suddenly some amazing undiscovered talent that should be in the finals.
 
Rion takes on "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert and gives it her all. I really do love this kid. Carlito chooses Usher's "You Make Me Wanna" and delivers a wannabe Usher performance with weak vocals.
 
When it comes time to vote, Demi votes to send Carlito home and Kelly and Paulina vote to send home Rion. Simon decides not to let the vote go to a tie this week and sends home Rion as well...because again, Carlito is suddenly the second coming of...who? Stefano? Lou Bega? Los Del Rio? Sigh...
 
Next week we have the semi-finals and our final four will compete for a spot in the 2013 finale. At this point I'm just focused on Alex & Sierra and I hope they win, but we'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Til then!
