I was an anxious wreck, so I was really glad his faceoff was up first. Can you imagine waiting until last for that? I would have easily started pacing or putting my head between my knees. I was saying that Seahorse didn't do as well this week and I couldn't figure out why, especially while getting told I was being a biased jerk. I think it was song choice. But I also think that they shouldn't have gone with the faceoff format. It definitely should have been Nick, Sun, and Seahorse in the final three. As much as I like Mushroom, he was a number four in my mind.
I've enjoyed that Nick's been singing songs you wouldn't expect! Like Bon Jovi is absolutely in his wheelhouse. But then when Crocy first walked out, I turned to my husband and said, "I'm getting major Backstreet vibes, I don't know why." And he said, "It hasn't done anything besides walk out." And then the clue package started (maybe four words in) and said said "Nick?" My husband was baffled. After waffling because I second guess myself a lot in this show, I told my group chat I would give everyone $50 each if it wasn't Nick. Then doubled down the second week. Sorry, this is a slightly unrelated novel! (Or something you all already discussed.)
Anyway... It's been nice to see things out of his wheelhouse, but I enjoyed going back to his wheelhouse this week with Aerosmith. And that the judges finally started guessing any of the Boys this week. But I was also yelling at the TV when they were like, "Only Howie and AJ have kids," Brian's like the ultimate Backstreet Dad. I'm surprised Ken didn't go for it, especially with the crazy Backstreet knowledge he's brought up. I died last season when he brought up the Backstreet Project.
I'm super excited for the holiday episode! Another week like songs, no eliminations!
I would love it if Mushroom was Anthony Ramos Jr.! I'm pretty sure Sun is LeAnn Rimes. (I'll edit this if guesses aren't allowed.) I feel like there's a solid chance Sun will win, Nick will be second, and Mushroom third, but I really want Nick to win. In a normal season, I would love Croc and Sun, and be happy if either won. I'm so biased though, ha.
MARE!!!!!! It's been five years and I'm still mad about that. She and Derek should have gotten called out that their Dirty Dancing dance had no original choreography and wasn't even whatever dance they were supposed to be doing!!! I don't remember what it was supposed to be anymore, but I'm still mad about it.
End rant.
