Farmer Wants a Wife Episode 5

The campaign by the rest of the house failed to get Lisa eliminated, and much to Christa’s chagrin, Stacey was sent home in Farmer Wants a Wife Episode 4.

The girls learn how to sheer sheep. They’re afraid they’re going to hurt them.

Next they need to bake some pies. Award winning Miss Donna (I never heard of her either) will show them how. Amanda, Ashley, and Christa believe they can bake already. Of course, this is going to be the challenge. They will be judged on their pie baking ability. The pies will be judged on looks, flakiness, and taste. I would not be surprised if these girls have been judged on that criteria before. This (being awake) is a fine excuse for some cattiness between the two sides.

Because half the girls in the house are drunks, they decide to play a drinking game with Matt. Matt’s first question is whether the girls are ready to get married. A couple girls say yes, but Lisa gives an I don’t know. Ashley asks Matt for sex (in a way requiring the censors to step in) and then goes around the table and asks everybody else if they want to sleep with him. Everybody, herself included, knows she’s done.

It’s time to go to the town fair. Lisa’s happy to see sugar and horsies. Matt plays a game and wins a stuffed animal. The vendor decides to give it to Brooke. After that, they’re ready for the bake off. Lisa knows she’s not going to win and openly admits it. Brooke had a nutmeg disaster, mistaking it for cinnamon, which quickly disgusts the judges. Kanisha doesn’t like that the judges are like Simon Cowell. It’s between Amanda and Ashley. Amanda wins hands down. Ashley’s upset because she believes that sticking around a few more days will make Matt forget that she’s vulgar.

Matt agrees to get behind the kissing booth. Brooke gives him a kiss on the cheek. He finds this weird.

Now we’ll find out who’s going back to the city. Ashley is afraid she’ll make a bigger ass out of herself. Lisa believes she’s got a big shot at going home (again). She’s finally right. Matt doesn’t feel she’s made a big enough connection with him, and his reasoning suggests her lack of willingness to say she’s ready to get married is the main reason. When she’s leaving, she apologizes if she offended anyone. The apology falls on deaf ears.

Not only did Ashley end up staying, but Matt also wants to date her. Keep it PG. She gets flowers and a ride in a fancy car. They go to Miss Donna’s restaurant where he quickly brings up the other night. She blames it on the fact that she drank a little bit too much (but doesn’t tell him she apparently regularly drinks a little bit too much). He has difficulty making small talk with her, and she agrees it wasn’t a very good date. Should have kept Lisa instead.

The Mole 5 Episode 1

In 2001, ABC brought us one of the better reality shows in which a bunch of contestants got together and tried to figure out who among them was trying to sabotage their efforts. This was followed by a season two and then two very entertaining celebrity seasons. I often wondered what happened to the show, but wonder no more. It’s back. I’m not really sure what to call it, so I’m going to stick with The Mole 5.

Check out the full The Mole 5 cast.

The new host is Jon Kelley. It’ll be interesting to see whether he can live up to Anderson Cooper.

Not wasting any time, based on first impressions, they take a secret ballot who they think the mole is. Most people suspect that Marcie is the mole. This will allow Marcie to make all the decisions for the group for the next 24 hours.

The first mission is based on a bunch of German tourists who died on a waterfall. 6 people will jump for cash, while 5 will jump for a bag full of paper. Marcie will decide who jumps for what. They’re all attached and ready to jump off a raft toward a bag above the waterfall. Alex fails quite convincingly. Ali comes close but no cigar. Clay grabs the bag. Kristen, the neuroscientist who looks better than the model (just don’t tell the model that), also grabs her bag. Bobby, despite the slim chance he could hang himself doing this, is the third to grab a bag. Retiree Liz is happy to prove she can do it, and she gets another bag. Paul gets beat by a 60-year-old lady and just barely misses his bag. Victoria gives a humiliating performance. Craig, the heaviest contestant by a good margin, doesn’t get the bag, but he doesn’t die either, although he did apparently get choked. Nicole through some dumb luck grabs a bag. Mark is last to go and gets his bag.

This brings them to a total of 6 bags:

Nicole: paper
Kristen: paper
Bobby: paper
Mark: money
Liz: paper
Clay: money

Pot total: $20,000 out of $60,000

A couple of suspicious choices here, notably Kristen and Bobby.

Marcie’s got one more decision to make. Only 8 people can fit in the cabin. 4 must sleep outside: Nicole, Liz, Craig, and Bobby. Nicole lets us know she doesn’t have to do anything but stay black and die. She believes she’s clever. She goes inside but just won’t sleep, which she thinks is staying within the rules. She’s quite pleased with herself, despite the fact that she kept people up all night and also risked a fine.

Paul wants to form a coalition. He chooses Marcie. He also apparently has one with Alex.

The group unanimously chooses Nicole as the group’s biggest whiner. They’re right. Her first duty is to pick 6 scavengers, 3 appraisers, and 2 timekeepers.

Scavengers: Craig, Marcie, Alex, Bobby, Victoria, Clay
Appraisers: Kristen, Liz, Mark
Timekeepers: Paul, Ali

Timekeepers must refill an hourglass, which will only last 10 minutes if not refilled. The scavengers must run all over the beach and find things, which clearly out of shape Craig finds ridiculous. The appraisers must determine what the castaway Selkirk had with him, which thus would have been around in the 1700s (obvious hint: there was no electricity then). On the first try, they get one item correct. On the second guess, they get three correct items. Their third guess is the same.

Revolver: wrong (invented in 1835)
Musket: correct
Bible: correct
Jeans: wrong (invented in 1873)
Goat: correct

Pot total: $35,000 out of $85,000

The other correct items were tobacco and a teakettle.

Someone’s going to be left on the beach by themselves. It’s Nicole. Time to celebrate. Let’s see her try to find a way to circumvent this.

The women are all suspicious that Bobby was quite quickly out of breath on the beach. They also notice that Paul and Alex are in it together, but Paul says this is just his tactic.

Paul suspects Craig the most because he’s a nice guy, as does Mark. Bobby suspects Kristen. Marcie suspects Nicole. Victoria suspects Bobby.

The contestants will now take a quiz that contains 10 questions about the contestants and the past few days. There’s good news for Nicole. Because she’s stranded on the beach, she has an exemption.

Ali is safe.
Victoria is safe.
Paul is safe.
Bobby is safe.
Mark is safe.
Marcie is eliminated.

Strange to see the person everybody originally suspected the most is headed home, although her choices in the first challenge were a little bit too suspicious. Marcie is not the mole. Who is the mole?

The Bachelorette 4 Episode 3

Three more guys went home in The Bachelorette 4 Episode 2: Eric (who in case you didn’t get the message is Greek), Ryan (even though he’s better than all the other guys since he’s a virgin), and Chris (whoever he was, apparently the only thing I felt worth mentioning about him was that he admitted he once cheated).

Jeremy once again got a rose since DeAnna isn’t interested in getting to know the rest of the people in the house. Paul and Graham are also moving into the mansion with him.

Richard gets the one-on-one date. They take a limo ride to the rooftop of a landmark building in LA. She doesn’t respond why she chose him for this date. He discusses science nerd stuff but makes it interesting, although he also shatters the concept of a shooting star. He says that he doesn’t make a lot of money, but she says she doesn’t care as long as he’s happy doing what he’s doing. He tells her he’s never brought anybody home and that he usually keeps his relationships secret. DeAnna’s unsure whether there’s a spark, so they go on a carriage ride through LA, like Cinderella. He believes something can happen, but she doesn’t. That does it for him. No rose for Richard. Harsh.

Brian, Sean, Jesse, Graham, Fred, Robert, Twilley, Ron, Paul, and Jeremy get the group date. They go line dancing. After that, they ride a bull. The guys have fun with this. Jesse stays on the bull the longest. Then it’s DeAnna’s turn. She pretends she’s been injured (it’s all fun and games until somebody gets shot in the arm). Since Jesse’s the first one to come to her fake rescue, he gets one-on-one time with her. His message to her is that he wants to be real and that everybody farts.

DeAnna has a problem with Ron having confronted Jeremy. In season 11, DeAnna was the outcast (on purpose), so this probably should not be a surprise. Ron tells Jeremy that he lacks a level of tact.

Robert hasn’t had any alone time with DeAnna, and he’s not happy with it. He doesn’t want to just take up a spot and waste his time, as he hasn’t felt chemistry since the first night. Despite that, after a brief chat with her, he’s okay with sticking around. With that, Robert gets a rose. At least it’s not Jeremy for a change.

Jason gets the other one-on-one date. He plans to finally tell her about his three-year-old son. He’s well aware that Richard, another guy who seemed like he was just a nice normal guy, was sent packing on the other date. A helicopter is there to pick them up and bring them to the Mt. Wilson Observatory to look at stars and have dinner. She poses the question: do you miss your family? There’s the opening he wanted. DeAnna doesn’t seem to have a problem with it and listens to stories and looks at pictures. Beyond that, he also used to be married. As they’re discussing family, he asks for more about her mom. She tells the story about her mom’s final days and how that made her be the person who felt like she always had to take care of everyone, which she says is the first time she’s had a guy she dated actually care to hear about her mom. After this conversation, it’s obvious Jason gets the rose. They finish off the date by looking at the stars through the telescope, he asks if he can kiss her, and she says yes.

Because the show’s two hours long, like American Idol, they have to kill time somehow. Their idea is to pay a visit to Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen was one of the first people to really push for DeAnna being The Bachelorette. The first task is to answer the best thing about DeAnna. Then there’s a question about who’s kissed her. Ron had the longest relationship at 12 years; Graham is the shortest at 5 months. Following a dance off, Ellen reveals that she’s giving the rose today. One thing she warns DeAnna about is that Graham’s afraid of communication. After Ellen has the guys drop their pants, she’s got a decision. Fred’s excessive one thing he likes most about DeAnna scores, and he gets the rose.

Ron confuses me. I’m not sure whether he likes her or not. Not that it matters because she’s obviously going to cut him sooner or later anyway. While they’re talking, someone comes and steals her. That someone is obviously Jeremy, who’s quite clearly concerned because this is the second time in a row he’s come scurrying to make sure she doesn’t spend too much time with Ron, although she doesn’t seem to mind being rescued. She tells him she’s ready to move to Dallas should it be necessary.

Ellen put some bad thoughts in DeAnna’s mind about Graham, so now she wants to get down to the bottom of things. He tries to set her mind at ease.

Jason gets the next bit of one-on-one time. She’s got a gift for him: she had a star named after his son Tyler. Even though I sense some producer influence here (what are the odds DeAnna knew you could name a star after someone?), this is still more romantic than when Steve Urkel did it for Laura.

Ron doesn’t make the cut. I think we all saw that one coming. He’s convinced himself that he wasn’t rejected. Paul is the second person who lived in the house with DeAnna to get booted tonight. He doesn’t know why he’s been cut, and I don’t know either.

Farmer Wants a Wife Episode 4

Krista hated the country and apparently wasn’t overly fond of Matt either, so it came as no surprise when she got the boot in Farmer Wants a Wife Episode 3. Brooke and Lisa continued to get more shunned by the other girls, so they played the role of stalkers, found out where he lived, and confronted him to let him know not to believe what the other girls say.

Brooke feels like an idiot and blames Lisa.

The girls head to a farm and watch a goat give birth. Matt comes by to bring them to one of his buddies, who needs some help picking his sweet corn. They must fill three baskets with exactly two dozen ears of corn each. And in case you missed it the first 150 times she said it, Christa reminds us she hates Brooke and Lisa. Brooke is first to return with a basket. Kanisha is behind her. Lisa returns with two at once. Christa has one basket. Lisa lost her empty basket, so she takes Amanda’s. Brooke and Christa now have two baskets. Lisa’s got her third basket full. She stops to count. During that time, Brooke comes in, and she doesn’t need anyone to count because she’s sure she has the right number. Brooke wins the challenge. Christa’s mad. Lisa gets caught with the extra basket. Stacey’s still trying to fill her baskets even though the others have all realized Brooke won.

Christa has decided that she’s also better than Stacey and Kanisha, not just Brooke and Lisa.

They will be going to a barn dance. First, they will learn how to square dance. Or they will learn how to square dance once Stacey finishes finding her shoes (and putting on her makeup and doing her hair and going for a latte). While there, Lisa and Brooke want to show off their city girls dance. Since their dance moves may be on the stripper side, Christa takes another opportunity to let us know she hates them. Matt needs to send this whiny chick home already.

Brooke and Lisa are upstairs listening to the other girls, who are downstairs drunk and tossing around hot dogs, commenting on how they’re phallic, and how they hate the immature girls upstairs.

The girls get traditional square dance clothes. Stacey’s pissed off because there’s no designer label (or any label for that matter). Then they go to an actual barn dance (yeah, he wasn’t kidding). At the dance, Amanda grabs Matt as her partner. She takes the opportunity to tell him that some of the girls are fake. Someone might wanna fix that record because it sounds on the broken side. Matt notices that Stacey isn’t really competing for his attention unlike the other girls, which leads him to be worried that she’s not into him.

Not content with her digs at the barn, Amanda asks Matt after the dance how he feels about midnight visits at his house. He realizes that the girls have obviously formed their little groups.

In case I haven’t mentioned it before, Christa wants Lisa gone because she hates her.

Lisa gets another present. Christa’s even more jealous of her.

Everybody will pour some moonshine. Whoever doesn’t have any moonshine is going home to the city. Amanda is safe. Christa is safe. Ashley is safe. Kanisha is safe. Lisa is safe, much to her surprise and Christa’s (continued) anger. Stacey is going home.

Kanisha will be getting the one-on-one date. Ashley wants her to give Matt a hickey and bets she won’t do it. With some encouragement by the other girls, she agrees. They go horseback riding. While they’re chatting on the blanket, he gives her a peck. That’ll have to do. She’s not stupid enough to try to suck on his neck on the first date.

The Apprentice UK Series 4 Episode 10

Raef and Michael decided to play director, and despite having done a better job, they lost the task, with Raef being fired for being full of hot air in The Apprentice UK Series 4 Episode 9. The other team didn’t get along and didn’t do at all well, but because they hit people over the head with their ad, they were free to go.

Michael tells us he’s absolutely worn out. He should just lay down and go home instead of by some miracle surviving each week.

Teams will be renting out luxury cars. There is no team shuffle this week. That’s… new. Michael will be the project manager for Renaissance. Lee will lead Alpha.

Each team must pick two cars, which vary in rentable value from £600/day to £2,750.

Michael is not happy. He abhors cars.

Michael wins the coin toss and picks the Ferarri 360. Lee picks the Aston Martin, which costs the same to rent as the Ferarri. Michael picks the Spyker C8 as his second choice, which rents for £1,200/day. Lee opts for the Zonda, one of the rarest cars in the world, which rents for the highest rate and can’t be rented by the hour.

Lucinda wants to try a raffle. Probably a violation of the rules, but perhaps a good idea if Sir Alan’s okay with it.

Michael has forgotten what cars he’s chosen.

Alex is looking forward to selling this product, though Lucinda is less convinced by her ability to sell. Unwilling to give in to the fact that the raffle was Lucinda’s idea, Alex takes full credit for that, and Lee joins the boys club once again and backs him up. She is getting tired of being ignored (again).

Claire gets her first rental, two hours for the Spyker for £250. She then gets a second one for three hours for £375.

Lee and Alex are working on renting the Zonda. The more affordable Aston Martin sits while Lucinda is creating raffle tickets. Lucky for them, even though Michael’s trying to rent his Ferarri, there’s nobody there paying any attention to him.

Lucinda’s done with the raffle tickets and looking for some help selling the Aston Martin. Despite the fact that she’s the weakest salesperson, asked specifically to not be left alone to sell, and got Lee’s okay on that point, he refuses to leave the Zonda (as Alex suggested).

By mid-afternoon without much indication of any prospects, Lee manages to close a deal for a one day rental of the Zonda with a 10% discount to £2,475.

Michael has found a new location for the Ferarri: a fruit and veg market. After looking around, he realizes what he should have realized in the first place. None of these people can afford it. Just as he’s about to leave, though, he notices a man in a suit and tie, and he makes a pitch to him. He has a sale, but there’s a catch. This man’s smart enough to ask about insurance. Due to the thoroughly ridiculous £5,000 deposit, Michael loses the sale. Unwilling to take the hint, he decides to follow the man as he leaves.

Lucinda is ready to start raffling. Kinda. Lee tells her to just make the judgment call of whether to raffle or not based on how many people are going to buy tickets. She’s apparently supposed to be able to guess that. He’s upset that she won’t just make a decision (not that he will make one either). She decides to abandon the raffle. Then she starts selling the Zonda, or at least that’s what she’s calling it.

The teams head to their marquees. Unsure of what she’s doing, Lucinda decides to shadow Lee. He doesn’t understand why she needs to shadow him. I don’t get it either since nobody would even talk to him.

With it written on the back of his hand, Michael’s hoping to not forget the Spyker again.

Claire gets another three hour sale, but she’s having difficulty going for days.

Somehow, Lucinda manages to get a sale for one hour of the Aston Martin at £65.

With time running out, Alex manages to get another day deal for the Zonda.

In exchange for a couple bottles of champagne, Michael closes a one day deal on the Ferarri with minutes to spare.

With 60 seconds remaining, Alex gets a call from someone they met earlier in the day. They run to him and need to get his signature. They basically need him to sign without reading what he’s signing.

Sir Alan asks Lucinda if she feels like she got shoved aside so Lee didn’t have to deal with her.

Renaissance made £2,114. Alpha made £11,815. The big ticket risk paid off, and this disaster of a team wins again.

Helene is taking Lucinda’s approach: she’s not a salesperson and therefore can’t be blamed for not selling. She blames the salespeople for not selling enough.

Sir Alan can’t figure out where either Helene or Michael would fit into his organization. He does give Michael a little bit of credit as he turns his sights on her.

Helene wants Michael gone. Claire doesn’t really gives an answer, saying that Helene didn’t sell but that Michael contributed the least to the task. Michael believes he’s shown glimmers of brilliance.

Sir Alan wants to get rid of a no hoper. He asks for some more time to discuss with Nick and Margaret. During this, he brings up getting rid of more than one, which would certainly make sense because both Helene and Michael need to go and have needed to go for weeks.

Claire is obviously safe. Michael’s luck has finally run out. Helene escapes, but she’s now the one on borrowed time.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of The Apprentice UK Series 4 episode 11.

So You Think You Can Dance 4 Episode 3

The first stop is Charleston. Tice D’Orio is the guest judge there.

Jeremiah Hughes, despite a near fall, looks to be one of the stronger contemporary dancers. He easily gets through to Vegas.

Syiddah King has particularly noticeable socks. She’s been “if you want to call it dancing” forever. She’s over but okay with it. Nigel doesn’t think she’s listening. She isn’t.

Anthony Hart gets shot down for not showing enough talent. His brother Antwain Hart, however, has potential. Antwain says he would prefer that his brother be there instead of him and that Anthony was just nervous. Nigel agrees to let them dance together. With the routine they do together, both prove to be stronger than they’d originally showed. Both go through to choreography. The brothers survive this and are headed to Vegas.

Abigail Thurman doesn’t even need to dance for Tice to be afraid. Her choice of tights is enough for him to know it’ll be a disaster. She takes Nigel covering his face as a hint that she needs to stop, admitting she sucks as a dancer.

Breaker BJ Harris arrived via a fundraiser from his performing arts school. The judges are thrilled with his performance but want him to go through choreography to see if he can do anything else.

A perky Courtney Galiano wants Mary to scream for her. She has the look of a star and heads to Vegas with the support of her grandparents.

Cross dresser Jason Looney (aka Betty Wallace) is neither a good dancer nor a good cross dresser. The judges are insulted and want to slap him upside the head.

Claire Callaway auditioned in Charleston in season 2 and made it to Vegas. She injured herself before Vegas and then took some time off after she had a baby. She looks damn good for someone with a young daughter, but Tice is unconvinced that she’s a good dancer. Mary and Nigel suggest the bar has been raised. They’re willing to let her go through to the choreography, though.

BJ is cut. Claire is going to Vegas.

Dan Karaty joins Nigel and Mary in Washington DC.

Megan Campbell is first on stage. This is the first time she’s ever auditioned, but Mary doesn’t want to see choreography… she wants her to go straight to Vegas.

Dancing Derrick is a disaster waiting to happen. This is the guy who last year had to get oxygen. He sucks as bad as he did last year, but at least he’s entertaining. He looks pretty good at charades, though. He’ll be back next year whether Nigel’s bored with him or not.

Markus Shields is dancing in memory of his mother. He’s not happy with his dancing, and he doesn’t hide it at all. The judges, who didn’t even notice that he messed anything up, are letting him go through to the choreography. Markus makes some minimal effort to smile based on that news.

Markus Smith and Deonna Ball dance DC swing. We know before they begin that they’re good, and they don’t disappoint. They’re going to choreography.

Deonna Ball won’t be going to Vegas. Her partner Markus is also cut. The other Markus is headed to Vegas, but he’s going to have trouble if he remains as laid back as he is.

Brandon Bryant auditioned in season one but had to quit because he lied about his age. Now that he’s actually 18, he’s back. Nigel says he’s one of the best, Mary screams, and Dan is blown away.

Phucdat Ngyuen (aka the atomic goofball) is dressed up like a stick of Juicy Fruit. He has a message that nerds are cool. The judges pass him through to choreography.

Anthony Bryant is another person returning from a previous season. He’s pretty impressed with himself, and he’s wearing camouflage to show he’s not feminine. Nigel likes his technique but believes something’s missing. Mary agrees. Dan thinks we’ve seen this before. Despite his technique, they’re sending him to choreography.

Phucdat isn’t going to Vegas. Anthony is also not going to Vegas. So with that he gives us an audition for an acting gig.

So You Think You Can Dance 4 Episode 2

The producers have decided to stop by Salt Lake City, Utah for some reason. Guest judge Mandy Moore (not the one from Chasing Liberty) joins Nigel and Mary.

Chelsie Hightower has a sad story about how her family lost a house and several cars… but she could still dance. The judges find her hot. Mary loves her legs. She’s going to Vegas.

Michael Moore is from a Native American dancing family, though he himself prefers something more modern. Nigel wants him to switch to decaf. He admits he’s bad.

Figure skater Gev Manukyan, originally from Kazakhstan, breakdances on ice. With his unique style, they’re letting him go to the choreography.

Lindsey Judkins comes on immediately after Gev, and she receives a good response from the judges as well. Mary thinks she’s cute. Mandy is concerned she’s too one dimensional. Nonetheless, she’s going straight to Vegas.

Stay-at-home mom Nicole Downard shows up at the auditions with her four children. She’s got plans just in case she gets to Vegas, but we know within about two moves she doesn’t have to worry about finding a sitter.

Kelli Baker’s mom Bonnie Story was one of the choreographers in High School Musical. Kelli starred as Lea in High School Musical 2 (I’m assuming that’s an actual part). She’s able to live up to the build up. Nigel calls her one of the best dancers this season. Mary says wow. Mandy’s got goose bumps. She gets through to Vegas.

Naomie Christensen gets her two minutes of fame. That’s enough of that. She claims she was doing kind of a jazz thing and is unsure what planet she’s on. The judges want to know where Ashton Kutcher is while they’re being Punk’d.

Ryann Race is a strip club DJ. Whether he goes to Vegas or not, he’s gonna be having some fun. Nigel likes his unique comic book-like style. He’ll be going to the choreography, starting off by acting like he’s stretching.

Matt Dorame impresses the judges. If he loses his shorts, Nigel will give him a ticket to Vegas.

Kortney Pearson and Michelle Stringham are two blonde friends who got married and divorced about the same time. Kortney is finally back after 5 years off, but she’ll need to work on it if she wants another shot, though she gets through to the choreography regardless. Michelle likewise has given up dancing for 5 years, but they’re more impressed with her, despite the slipping in her socks. She’s also going through to choreography.

Michelle is going to Vegas. Kortney, likewise, gets through to the next round. Ryann knows he crashed and burned, but he doesn’t have to go back to the strip club because he’s made it through as well.

The next stop is Dallas. Adam Shankman is the guest judge in Dallas.

Brian Davidson doesn’t get nervous because it doesn’t matter since he knows he sucks. This isn’t even interesting.

Chad Agnor is a full contact fighter trainer and is also a ballroom dance instructor. He injures himself while warming up but will dance anyway. Nigel warns him not to continue because it’s dangerous. Despite the positive attitude, he’s been rejected, but he’ll be back next year.

Paige Jones believes she’s a real life Barbie doll. Her dance instructor has taught her how to walk and wave. Nigel likes her but doesn’t like the competition style of dance. The other judges fall in line but put her through to choreography.

Joshuah Allen turns out to be one of the better dancers. Nigel believes he could easily fight for his life. Mary’s in love. He goes to choreography.

Cassidy Corder says she can throw down. Nigel calls it one of the worst auditions they’ve seen. It wasn’t quite that bad, but I think they mostly want her to dance with a pole.

Arielle Coker managed to rope John Dix into dancing with her. He’s mostly just there so she has something to jump on, but she does a great job. Arielle goes straight through, but John will be going to choreography.

Steven Arner starts off chair dancing. Should have just stayed in the chair. Nigel tries to convince him he sucked, but he’s not buying. Adam wants him to not sleepwalk on stage again. Mary calls him delusional then throws him out.

John doesn’t get through to Vegas. Paige can keep smiling as she heads to Vegas, and Joshuah also goes through.
