Big Red Chair

After just a few minutes, I think I can say this mansion thing is stupid.

Vaughan is ridiculously intense. Is tonight's show just going to be people crying a lot? I like to cry and all, but... oh my God. Two hours? This is really going to take two hours?

Ooo... sing off... dramatic. "Okay, I'll just wait outside." Duh, Alex. "I'm just going to run to Starbucks."

I want one of these chairs for my classroom. Then I can make my students do sing offs... or English offs. This is just more cruel than in past seasons. It kind of takes the joy out of it for whomever beats the other person. Totally awkward.

Nathanial praying to a chair and Tatiana breaking down in the hot seat. Neither of those things are surprising as teasers.

It's 7:42, and I realize I've wasted 42 minutes of my night watching this. Not that I'd be doing something useful. I left papers at work, and I'm certainly not thinking of things to get ready for the inservice Friday. Maybe I'll eat some ice cream.

"I think your relationship with your instrument..." We shouldn't start sentences like this. I guess singing "I'm going home..." wasn't a sign.

Maybe Nathanial and Tatiana will have to do a sing off before they are both kicked off.

Frankie Jordan singing Brandi Carlile. No no no. Only Brandi Carlile should be allowed to sing that song. Seriously. At least Frankie's husband and baby are cute.

Oh my. Tatiana is wearing Paula's jewelry. Tatiana's nervous giggles make me nervous. I'm always nervous, but this goes up a new level. Eff. I have to deal with her for awhile longer. I think Simon might have just kind of kissed her, but it looked like he was smelling her hair. Creeper. Jeez. Stop screaming. AuuugGGGHHhhhhhOOHHHhhhhooooooo!

Obviously I would make a poor judge since Tatiana and Nathanial are on.

And finally, good for the welder and the rough neck. Did you know they were blue collar workers? I mean it's not like the set up for these two really focuses on... oh wait. Thanks for reminding us of something we already knew, AI.

Another three weeks until we have the top 20. Does it usually take this long? Can't we just get to the final three right now?
