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 Top 10 Results: What. The Hell.

So, I am very unhappy with tonight's results show. Two of the people I was most excited about going into the Top 12 were sent home this evening, and now I'm not really sure how to feel about the remaining weeks. Sure, they get to compete against the other eliminated contestants for a spot in the finals, but this is not what I wanted tonight. Here's how the eliminations went down...

Results! The first person to make it to safety was Craig, and he was swiftly followed by Matt.  So far so good, right? Carson announced that Luke and Taylor had made it into the Top 8...which made me a little antsy. As interesting as Taylor is, I didn't see him as a shoe in to go much further in the competition. After some performances by the coaches with their teams (enjoy it while it lasts, kids), DaNica and Chris got to exit the stage happily, leaving Damien, Anita, Reagan, and Ryan nervous for their fates. Damien was the final person to escape the "sing for your life" portion of the show, and I was pissssssed. Can the Stupid Twitter Save just save all three of them and we'll try again next week?

Reagan sang Nelly Fertado's "I'm Like a Bird" and it seemed like she already thought she was going home. It's a damn shame. Whyyyyyyyyyy did she have to choose "Fancy" last night? Anita took on Jason Mraz's "The Remedy" and I loved it. She had one note in particular that just went on and on. Ryan rounded out the performances with "Collide" by Howie Day, which was a really great song choice for him. This was right in his wheelhouse and enough to keep him in the competition one more week. Ryan won the Stupid Twitter Save, sending Anita and Reagan home. Ugh. 

Going into the Top 8, Team Adam still has all of his contestants remaining. Team Gwen and Team Pharrell are down to 2 each, and Blake only has one artist left in the competition. Will Team Adam finally take a hit next week? Will Blake's team be entirely eliminated before we even get to the Top 6?  Are Craig's hair, DaNica's face piercing, and Damien's animated eyebrows the only constants I can hope for now? We'll find out when the Top 8 compete again. Til then!
