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 Eliminations: I Won't Back Down

Tonight we will see two more contestants eliminated and once again wonder how exactly Xtina's shirts contain what she's got going there. Her wardrobe person is a genius. Anyway, her team and Team Blake are going into the night with three contestants each, while Adam and Pharrell are in danger of losing their teams completely tonight depending on the results. Let's get to it. 

Reba is in the house tonight giving a sassy performance of her new single "Going Out Like That." Love it. My favorite part though might be when the camera cuts to Blake and he's singing his heart out from his seat. I'll bet these two compete for the "life of the party" title. 

Results! The first two people through to the Top 8 are Koryn and Corey, and they are followed by Sawyer and India. After some performances, Meghan and Kimberly are sent to safety, giving Blake, Xtina and Adam two contestants each in the Top 8 and leaving Team Adam with 0 going into the next commercial break. Hannah is the final artist to make it through, and Joshua, Deanna and Rob are in the bottom 3 and singing for the stupid Twitter save. I'm not really surprised by this. The other ladies gave powerhouse performances last night and the two young guys have teenage female fans that probably tried to break iTunes. 

Rob chooses "(Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay" as his "save me" song, and he gives it 100% energy. Vocally it's up and down and I don't think this was the song to win over America. Deanna goes with "Help Me Make It Through the Night" which is an appropriately named song for sure. She sounds freaking amazing but this is her second week in a row shooting for the stupid Twitter save. Not sure if she'll win it again (don't get me started on American Idol and Rayvon), but I've really enjoyed watching her. Joshua takes on "Stay With Me" "I Won't Back Down" and it seems like the song was made for him. I think he may have made a really smart move here. 

In the end, Joshua does win the stupid Twitter save and we say goodbye to Deanna and Rob. I'm not sad to see Rob go but I would have liked to see Deanna continue her journey a little while longer. I know she probably wouldn't have made it too much further with her confidence issues but I did enjoy hearing that voice each week. Next Monday the Top 8 face off again and Team Adam is down to one contestant. Xtina and Pharrell are still going strong with two each, and Team Blake remains unscathed. Can his entire group make it through to the Top 6? Can the remaining ladies be stopped at this point? Can Reba just be on The Voice every few episodes? We'll find out the answers to two of those questions next week. Til then!
