Here are a couple of pics of Ace with short hair:

Oh my...there I go getting all "twitterpatted" again!

 

[tevagirl]

Since Ace is the youngest of FIVE brothers, I hope one brother gets featured each week!!!

There's FIVE of them??

Is the show on now (8:25 East Coast) ? I'm at work and I'm recording Survivor so I can't see it.

I thought he was more Fred Savage from "The Wonder Years" than Bobby Brady

I think I dated myself there a bit then--I never watched the Wonder Years, but watched the Brady Bunch a lot.

wow - I am shocked that the first girl is gone! I also hate that they make them sing!

 

[damo]

I'm a little surprised with the girl with the lowest votes as well. Not who I would have guessed.

Thought the group song had some nice harmony!

I agree with both of the things you said...I feel bad for them and then they have to sing... I really don't think she was the worst.

oh great--you're going to make me watch to find out who is gone. I'll have to wait a whole other hour since I have to work.

ETA: Snuck into TIVO and checked it. Surprising--but I will say while everyone thought she did okay last night it really sounded like she was slurring words and stuff ilke she had forgotten them. I did recheck my TIVO last night and she didn't--but my first impression was that she did and it didn't really sound too good. .

I just called my daughter's 12 year old friend for an update !!! How sad is that.

Interesting Boots this week!

1 surprising Female and Male and 1 not-so-surprising Male and female!


I know everyone here HATES her.......... but I'm so glad Brenna survived!!! She'll be gone next week though, so don't worry.

 

[damo]

I was so glad that Sway wasn't eliminated. I really didn't want to hear him sing that song again!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL Damo!!!!

Hopefully he'll be falsetto-free next week.

Results night is always the worst! I forgot how much I hate this part. But anyways, I can't say I was surprised with the results. I definitely thought Becky and Stevie were the worst 2 girls on Tuesday, but I would have rather seen Brenna go along with one of them, just because she's so annoying. When they pulled out Bobby and Sway, I was excited for a second because I thought Sway could possibly be leaving....but then reality hit me. I thought Sway was painful to listen to last night, but some people liked him, as opposed to Bobby, who I don't think anyone liked! When Ryan pulled out Bucky and Patrick, I really didn't care who went home between those two either, because neither are top 12 material. Although I would have rather seen Bucky go home because his voice is just too weird.

Anyways if I could pick the top 12 I would pick 7 guys and 5 girls, which would be in no particular order: Kevin, Will, David, Taylor, Chris, Ace, Elliot, Mandisa, Katharine, Ayla, Paris and Lisa. But anyways I know that can't happen, so I hope those 5 girls make it plus one other girl, doesn't really matter who. And for the guys, I would have to say to drop Elliot. He's good, but I love the other 6 too much.

I liked bobby. Thought he was cheese-tastic!

 

[damo]

At least Bobby was memorable. I don't think he would have lasted too long but he would have given us some really funny moments!

Did anyone else wonder if Becky thought she was on Amazing Race and it might possibly be a non-elimination round?

 

[Philadisney]

very glad to see becky go! not surprised stevie went, i would have rather seen brenna go though. with stevie's training in opera, i would have been really interested to see what she came up with in following weeks. same with bobby - he is so funny and entertaining!!! i liked patrick a lot, but agree that he didn't stand out the other night. i would have liked to see gideon go, otherwise, i think all the guys are fantastic!
did anyone else like how they made each elimination different? like how ryan asked heather & stevie to stand up, then was like "oh heather nevermind, stevie you're going home." and how he made it sound like they were going to take a commercial break before annoucing that bobby was out, but then didn't. i also really loved the montage at the end - it had me almost weepy

 

[Andrea]

i think i am the only one in my group of friends, but i dont like paris...

 

[cruiserkaren]

I know everyone here HATES her.......... but I'm so glad Brenna survived!!! She'll be gone next week though, so don't worry.

No I don't like her much, but I'm glad she stayed this week. I want to see her rock it just once with the song matching her enormous attitude. If she stinks next week too, then it'll show she definitely doesn't have it. I think the girl choices were spot on but I was disappointed with the guys. I'm know I'm in the minority but I think David is just awful.

 

[ShuisFan584]

By the way, did anyone else think it was obvious that the top row of girls was the top 6? To me it seemed like it was pointless to even go through them, which is why I guess they just called all 6 of their names both times and said "you're safe."

And I loved loved loved Kevin's response to Ryan's question! He is such a little cutie...I really hope he makes it to the top 12!

I agree with Stevie and Bobby going....but not so much the other 2....but at least we know it wasnt based on they way someone looks....cause Becky might have been the best looking person this season...I dont thinkshe should have gone nor Patrick...My choice would have been Kinnik and Sway I think....Sway for sure...At least it wasnt a suprise like Lisa or Taylor that would have been crazy
