First of all, four cheers for those four individual girls within the Farmbot Faux-Quartet being immediately evicted without having to torture us with a final showdown sing-off performance! However, one major complaint: If you're going to send someone home by calling two people in the beginning forward, announcing one is safe and the other polled the lowest votes, do so by pairing this straight man's fantasy foursome with an act that seemed like one of the logical choices to eliminate. Not DREW! (Granted, in retrospect....Well, ya know.) They should've paired them up with Astro, and when Astro was announced as safe, it would've prompted some raging expletives from furious, bigoted Middle Americans. More on this in just a second. But moving along....

Secondly, the final showdown itself contained the first sing-offs worth a damn this season. And leading up to that, I felt it would've been a bigger stunner to string Drew along and then announce her as safe. But instead, they saved Astro for here, which in essence, works just fine. It was interesting that the Bottom 3 were all three black guys though. One has to wonder what Elton John might have to say regarding this situation.

Marcus sounded pretty decent I think, overall. Nothing memorable, but nothing horrible either. But it was LeRoy who emerged, actually embraced the challenge and sung for his life, and came out shining. Regardless of this though, I feel that the right call was made. Sending it to deadlock to allow the people's preference to continue was the way to go. LeRoy had a strong week with these two nights, but Marcus has more chutzpah in this competition. And so, the sexagenarian was properly eliminated this week. Had he stayed, we'd have yet another balladeer on a show that's supposed to be entertaining us week in, week out, but for the most part, fails to do so.

However, I will miss LeRoy, for missing his lipsyncing"singing" cues during the group performances on results night. Awww!
