Big Brother 13 Episode 3

With a house still divided in Big Brother 13 Episode 2, Rachel nominated Keith and Porsche.

Porsche’s both surprised to be nominated and not sure who she has an alliance with, if anybody. Sorry lady, pretty much nobody has your back. But you go ahead and trust these idiots and throw the competition.

Dick is called to the diary room. He does not return. After a couple hours of not hearing his big mouth, they start wondering what happened. Rachel is then called to the diary room. She returns to make an announcement. ED is gone due to “an urgent personal matter.” As a result, Daniele gets a free golden key and trip to the top 10.

Good riddance. Next time, CBS, well, first of all, don’t let there be a next time. But if you have the option to pick returning houseguests, please make it somebody else. I said it last week, and I’ll say it again. This was a really bad choice.

This puts the “veteran” alliance in a position they thought they weren’t before, one of not having the numbers.

The girls refuse to allow Brendon downstairs and take out his frustration on the newbies. He’s pretty well thrown in the towel. Jeff is the only person trying to remain positive.

Meanwhile, Keith’s celebrating is not going over well with all of his side either. Then he calls a meeting to confront the two people on his side that he doesn’t trust, Porsche and Kalia.

The HOH Rachel, her partner Brendon, the nominated pair Porsche and Keith, and one other duo will participate in HOH. Jeff & Jordan are chosen at random. Convenient.

Porsche says that she’s clearly playing with somebody who doesn’t want to play with her. I wonder why. Could it be that you turned at the first opportunity?

They walk outside wearing tights. The competition is to repair their skyscrapers, veto puzzles. One person will fly across the yard while the other hands them pieces. Keith and Porsche will both be throwing this competition, and they both believe that the other does not know. The problem is that Jeff & Jordan are doing just as badly as them, even though Porsche says a fifth grader could put this puzzle together. By default, Rachel & Brendon win the power of veto.

America’s vote will give the have nots gum drops and grits, jelly beans and jerky, or rock candy and radishes. What’s the point?

Their victory leads Brendon & Rachel to believe they have some sort of power. No, not really. Your week of power is pretty well done. Just hope you win again next week. First, they make a deal with Dominic & Adam, dictating to them that they will be kept safe and must return the favor next week, as well as vote as how they want. Next up, Kalia & Lawon. Lastly, Cassi & Shelly get the same speech. The first two couples play along, but Cassi is honest that she doesn’t trust the four person alliance that doesn’t look like it’s going to break.

Now that she doesn’t trust Cassi & Shelly, it doesn’t end there. Rachel asks Keith for safety for herself and Brendon plus Jeff and Jordan for as long as they’re playing in duos. Really? Do you think anybody would stick to this stupid deal? You’re being far too greedy. Safety for yourself and Brendon, okay, maybe. Safety for your whole alliance, it ain’t happening.

For all this talk, the power of veto does not get used. Porsche and Keith are both happy with this.

So why does Big Brother end at 8:55 anyway?

America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 13

Following the reveal of some portion of the top 48, it’s time for the quarterfinals. Tonight the first 12 acts perform: Miami All Stars, Dezmond Meeks, Those Funny Little People, Fearless Flores Family, Squonk Opera, J Chris Newberg, Snap Boogie, Echo of Animal Gardens, The Fiddleheads, Duo Aero, Anna Graceman, and Sandou Trio Russian Bar.

Miami All Stars picked a song to dance to. That song has been denied for legal reasons, so they’ll have to work out something new with a few hours until show time. Piers felt they were sexy, fun, vibrant, and colorful, just like him. Sharon enjoys the men dancing like real men. Howie takes the time to use the two Spanish words he knows.

Dezmond Meeks is an over the top singer and piano player, but there’s no denying his talent. He sings something resembling Satisfaction. Sharon loves what he does but warns him about potentially crossing the line and being too cabaret and cheesy. Howie agrees but thinks he did cross the line. Piers thinks he is a cabaret act, which is the whole point.

Those Funny Little People made it through over Piers’ dead body. Needless to say, while I try to figure out the point of the act, Piers buzzes them. Then it starts raining men wearing swimming floaties to join their singing/dancing performance, of sorts. Howie and Sharon mainly love them on the basis of how much Piers hates them.

The Fearless Flores Family will be adding one more motorcycle to the mix, as the kids are joined by their mom. I don’t know. It’s still cool but a little bit more of the same. Piers liked that they stepped it up, but he’d like to see Howie in the middle next time. Sharon wonders: where do they go from here? Can an additional motorcycle really add that much?

Squonk Opera is an act that readily embraces their weirdness. What the hell is the point of this anyway? Piers doesn’t know either. Sharon joins in the buzzing. There’s singing, strange close ups of piano playing, a woman sitting on the moon, and a man dressed as a cherub. Sharon doesn’t like her head being messed with. Howie quite enjoyed feeling like he’s on drugs. Piers thinks he’s gone to hell.

J. Chris Newberg is the singing comedian. Hopefully tonight he’s funny. Piers buzzes as promised. Mildly amusing but still not funny. Howie thinks he’s funny for some reason. Piers didn’t care for the startling inappropriateness.

Snap Boogie’s a street dancer from Boston. He gets injured during rehearsal but is going to try to work around it. As good as he is by himself, I’m not sure what these creepy ninja backup dancers are supposed to add. Piers could see that performance in Vegas tomorrow.

Echo the parrot crashed and burned in Vegas. Let’s hope tonight is better. With the moral support of his girlfriend Binky, Echo’s back to what we saw in the first audition. Howie wonders whether this is a million dollar act or a really good birthday party. Piers found him funnier than the humans we’ve seen so far.

The Fiddleheads are a bluegrass band. Their main concern is the performance aspect because they’re comfortable their music will be good. Billie Jean bluegrass? Compared to the evening’s earlier song, this works much better. But not for Howie. Piers thought the song choice was fine, but it was just too big for the lead singer. Sharon didn’t like either the song choice or the way they dress.

Duo Aero is a trapeze act. I’m not sure this is worthy of its own show, but there’s definitely a place for them as part of a broader group. Piers buzzes because it’s a bit boring and safe. Sharon didn’t care for their retro performance, as compared with the modern couple they were before.

Anna Graceman sings What a Wonderful World while playing piano. This draws a standing ovation from two of the judges. Sharon thought the song choice was odd… but it worked. Howie says Anna’s phenomenal, and now AGT means Anna’s Got Talent.

The final act of the night is Sandou Trio Russian Bar. How do they top their previous act that involved fire? Simple. Perform above a bed of nails. Then set it on fire. Howie’s happy she is still alive. Piers calls it the most dangerous and exciting thing in a long time.

Big Brother 13 Episode 2

Anybody remember classic Big Brother when it was just a bunch of strangers in a house without constantly changing rules? Once again, this season will not be that. Big Brother 13 Episode 1 showed us that, as again they threw the rule book out the window and presented us with three twists that can only serve to make things suck. As it is, I’m already not happy about the concept of returning house guests (it may work for Survivor and The Amazing Race, but it does not work for Big Brother), let alone the morons that they chose.

Adam wants a golden key and is willing to throw his partner under the bus to get it.

I see they have still do not understand the definition of a floater. A floater is someone that floats back and forth between the powers. Not merely somebody who doesn’t do anything or refuses to win competitions (because only idiots win competitions they don’t need to win).

Porsche wants to team with the “all stars.” Keith plays along but thinks it’s a stupid idea.

The bad news for Jeff & Jordan is they’re pretty much stuck teaming up with the villains.

Dominic, Keith, and Lawon have a side alliance to protect each other. Not good news for Adam, Porsche, and Kalia. Dominic later approaches Cassi to add her to the fray. The alliance would not be complete without a stupid nickname, The Regulators.

ED says Brendon & Rachel weren’t the greatest strategists in their season. Do you want to be the pot today, or would you like to be the kettle? He only got as far as he did because of America’s Choice and Eric being a dumbass.

Brendon tells Rachel she doesn’t need to alter her body to feel more confident. Have you seen her chest lately? I’m sure you have.

Porsche quickly leaps at the opportunity to switch sides, and she’s not shy of telling her partner that, which he of course spreads to the others.

The first have not competition is for an uncomfortable room, cold showers, and slop. Brendon & Rachel are automatically haves for the week. Adam & Dominic pair up with Keith & Porsche on the green team. Shelly & Cassi team up with Kalia & Lawon to form the orange team. Dick & Daniele team up with Jeff & Jordan on the blue team.

After they get dressed up as cows, they walk out into the back with a moon and lots of milk. Their milk-powered spacecraft needs refueling. Where do they get their writers anyway, and do they get paid by the very bad pun? They have to dive into the milk and then return and squeeze out as much milk as they can. Jordan informs us there’s no such thing as space cows. Thanks for that.

Green team fills up the first jug first on their way to six. Keith is having a little too much fun being the milker, while Lawon takes the opportunity to strangle his partner. Blue team takes a 1 jug lead with their fourth. In the end, the blue team ends up winning. Green team’s got 1 jug lead over the orange team, so it’s only a matter of time. The orange team of Shelly, Cassi, Kalia, and Lawon are the have nots for the week.

The have not room is an insane asylum. Appropriate. The lights in the room cannot be turned off ever.

Adam gets the same offer from ED that Porsche did. Jeff’s happy to let him do the dirty work. Unlike Porsche, who jumped without thinking about it, Adam is skeptical. He agrees, but he will only play along to the extent he has to do so.

Rachel wants to get rid of Keith, but she doesn’t trust Porsche. She tells us she won’t make emotional decisions this season.

Nominations
Brendon is automatically safe.
Daniele & Dick are safe.
Jordan & Jeff are safe.
Lawon & Kalia are safe.
Shelly & Cassi are safe.
Adam & Dominic are safe.

Keith & Porsche have been nominated for eviction. Porsche is pretty shocked that her alliance with the all stars got her nominated. Really? Keith’s comfortable that he has The Regulators on his side, but he’s going to need more than that.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Big Brother 13 Episode 3, which airs Wednesday at 8/7c on CBS.

Big Brother 13 Episode 1

So far, 8 contestants of the Big Brother 13 cast have been revealed:

Adam Poch
Cassi Colvin
Dominic Briones
Kalia Booker
Keith Henderson
Lawon Exum
Porsche Briggs
Shelly Moore

They will be joined by 6 additional mystery contestants, pairs from past seasons. No official word yet who those people will be, but based on CBS’ teaser list of possible contestants, prepare to I’m sure somebody’s going to be pissed off (me, for starters).

Evel Dick and his daughter Daniele. Yeah, good luck in a season that America isn’t rigging for you. Brendon & Rachel. They probably have as good a shot at sticking together as any reality show couple, but that doesn’t make them any less annoying. Will & Boogie, okay, they’re masterminds. Too bad Will claims he’s not doing the show this year. Hayden & Enzo. I’ve gotta give credit to the Brigade alliance for what they accomplished (based on everybody else being morons, but props nonetheless). Jeff & Jordan. Big Brother and then Amazing Race. Yeah, I’m over them. They’re no Rob & Amber. Lastly, Jessie & Natalie. Don’t know how they would plan to fit E.D.’s ego in the same house with Jessie.

This will not end well. All Stars sucked (thanks, idiots from season 6). Half Stars can’t be any better, particularly since most of these people suck at the game.

In addition to the fact that three preexisting pairs are coming back, the other eight will be forced to join

Dominic loves doing crazy things and getting his blood pumping. He’s only slowed down by living with his mom. Cassi loves country music, fishing, and beer. Lawon has loud and bold style. Keith is a youth minister who chases girls when he’s not in church. Shelly believes in looking like a lady, acting like a man, and working in like a dog. Adam loves heavy metal but embraces his feminine side and loves Beverly Hills 90210. Kalia has the gift of gab and believes like she’s really like good with words. Porsche is a VIP waitress. So basically a hooker like Janelle, who she happens to know.

Keith will not be leaving home without his bible. Adam does not want religion shoved down his throat. Kalia really loves sex. Dominic is a virgin and plans to remain that way. Shelly doesn’t plan to clean up after anyone, even mama’s boy Dominic, but being the mom in the house is a great strategy. It’s not as if they have anything else to do anyway.

The first four to enter the house are Porsche, Dominic, Lawon, and Shelly. They get their pick of rooms, and the guys end up bunking with each other while the girls go find their own pink room. Shelly thinks Porsche sounds like a stripper name. Cassi, Kalia, Keith, and Adam enter next.

They do the math. 12 place settings, 10 beds, 8 people.

Keith pretends he’s a matchmaker, and he wants the women to feel comfortable going to him. Porsche pretends she’s a student because her job (waitress) is “too luxurious.” I don’t think anybody’s going to believe she goes to school. Continuing the trend, Cassi pretends she’s not a model, although Dominic immediately says he is.

Instead of two individual houseguests being nominated, one duo will be nominated each week, at least until the twist falls apart and flat on its face. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Keith promptly asks Porsche to be his partner. Apparently, he believes Julie’s instructions were to pick a prom date. Shelly and Cassi are similar in that they are southern tomboys, so they team up. Adam then asks Dominic, who supposes he has no choice but to say yes. By default, Kalia ends up with Lawon, and she ain’t happy because it’s not like this is a guy that can fly under the radar.

The eight make an agreement to stick together against the others. That won’t last.

The doorbell rings. Here comes the lousy news. Rachel & Brendon are the first returning couple. Rachel’s voice is already echoing through the house. Oh, and they’re engaged. Next up, Jeff & Jordan. Not that they need to be back, but I suppose I don’t mind them. Looking at the list, I’m comfortable with any of these couples returning other than Daniele and Evel Richard. Please don’t tell me they’re the third couple. Oh god. Kill me now. Hopefully one of the twists this season is that these two get slapped around. Repeatedly.

E.D. introduces himself as the only winner in the house. You’re forgetting Jordan, who not only won but actually played a good game. In spite of how “touching” season 8 was, he and his daughter (who’s no longer a blonde) haven’t spoken in 3 years (again). Shocker.

Walking into the back yard, they are greeted by some big bananas. Each duo must hold their bananas as long as possible. Last one standing will be the new HOH, giving them and their partner safety for the week. Shelly is the first one to drop, and she doesn’t want it anyway. Jordan falls, which does not surprise either her or Jeff. Keith drops. Then goes Cassi. And Lawon. Adam is the next to fall. The new contestants are falling like flies. Jeff is next to go, followed closely by Dominic. Brendon falls. Kalia falls, leaving Porsche as the only hope the newbies have. The chocolate’s been flowing for a while, so here comes the whipped cream. Porsche drops. Rachel tells Dick and Daniele they’re safe if they fall. He agrees. His daughter reluctantly follows suit. Rachel wins HOH.

Time for one last twist. Hopefully this one does not suck. Whoever survives the nominations will receive the Big Brother golden key, which guarantees them a spot in the top 10, meaning safety until week 5. Those people will not participate in any competitions, but they will still have a vote. For a change, this is an actually interesting twist, bringing a new element of strategy to the game. I take it this also means the stupid duo twist will be dead in a month. Of course, the flaw in this is that there’s an immediate restriction of people to nominate. As it is, the choices are cut in half by the duo twist. Add to it the key twist, and the number of possible nominations in week 4 dwindles to 3.

So You Think You Can Dance Season 8 Episode 13

Tonight 1 more girl and 1 more guy will be sent home.

Melanie & Marko and Caitlin & Mitchell are up first. Both couples are safe.

Ashley & Chris are in the bottom three. Jordan & Tadd join them. Clarice & Jess are safe.

Ryan & Ricky are the final couple in danger, and Sasha & Alexander are safe.

Ashley, Chris, Jordan, Tadd, Ryan, and Ricky will now dance for their lives.

Jordan is asked to improve but told she’s been good in all her routines. Ryan’s promptly dismissed as a potential target, with Nigel saying they love her, and she did a really good routine tonight. Ashley has yet to peak, and she is the one who’s sent home.

Travis believes Ricky is the best contemporary dancer this season next to Marko, even though he and his partner are not connecting with America. Chris always brings it when he dances for his life, but he doesn’t always fulfill what the choreographers ask, so he is going home.

America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 12

Part of the list of quarterfinalists were revealed in America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 11. Tonight we’ll find out the rest, or at least most of them.

The first of the standby groups is the magicians. After a couple of rough acts, we get Landon Swank. He floats a box with balloons and then produces a hot blonde from it. Seth Grabel then does a bunch of illusions. Too bad about the mishaps, for which he makes sure to blame the girls who are helping him. So if it went right, would the credit go to them?

Last night, we saw singers and more singers. Tough singers, sissy singers, even singers with chicken pox. Tonight the remaining singers join us as part of the kids acts. First, we see Tanner “Lil T” doing a little dance. Next up, Avery & The Calico Hearts sing another high pitched song, but they acknowledge that not all the notes were in tune. The SH’Boss Boys do some more rapping. Anna Graceman, who for some reason has been relegated to day 2, sings Rolling in the Deep while playing keyboard. Very good, but she also acknowledges it’s not perfect. Still, no way she doesn’t make it.

The danger acts are up next. Tonight’s theme is fire. Fire eating, fire juggling, then the Sandou Trio Russian Bar group not only has someone who jumps on the bar, but does so while holding flaming sticks. One to watch. Pat & Phil, the Smage Brothers, return with their motorcycles.

Large dance groups take the stage first for the dancers. For some unknown (but not good) reason, they’re followed by Sam B, who I fear will make the quarterfinals.

One of the novelty acts says he doesn’t think any of them are going through. Pretty much because they suck. Leonid has apparently decided he’s a dancer. Then we see a juggler, a bodybuilder who thinks he can dance as well as Leonid, and a yoyoer (he’s at least good). And what would the weird acts be without Meet Me at Fairfax and 3rd, the group where one guy sings (badly) while the other one stands on his head until he gets his cell phone rings?

Oh, and since we haven’t quite been hit over the head with this category enough yet, now it’s time for even more singers, a second group of male singers, including Dylan Andre, Mauricio (who the judges admit is a joke), and Daniel Joseph Baker.

Now that the singing is over, it’s time for the decisions. The Smage Brothers, Sandou Trio Russian Bar, Avery & The Calico Hearts, SH’Boss Boys, Anna Graceman, Landon Swank, Seth Grabel, Ian Johnson (the yoyo kid), Sam B (really?), some group of dancers with a lot of cleavage, Daniel Joseph Baker, Mauricio (oh, c’mon), and Dylan Andre are headed to Hollywood.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 13, which airs Tuesday at 8/7 on NBC.

America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 11

The auditions concluded in America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 10 with a mix of poor and moderately entertaining performances. Now we finally get to see some talent as the judges narrow down their choices in Vegas week. Some acts will perform on day 1, some will be on standby to perform on day 2 for the remaining spots, and some will be sent straight home.

Captain Stamp, Rhinestone Ropers, Fearless Flores Family, Team iLuminate, Lys Agnes, Melissa Villasenor, Miami All Stars, Professor Splash, Silhouettes, and Squawk Opera are all unanimously going straight through to Hollywood. I’m not sure if that’s a benefit or not, seeing as they’re losing an opportunity to get some valuable screen time. That leaves 38 places for the remainining contestants.

The danger category kicks things off. Charles Peachock goes from juggling with lights to juggling fire… and then lighting his legs on fire. Kevin Shelley stands on swords but fails to complete his trick of getting concrete broken on his back. The Yellow Design Stunt Team is a group of bicycle stunt riders. Frank Miles puts a knife in 1 of 4 styrofoam coolers. How do they find out which one? He has the judges randomly select coolers, then he jumps on them one at a time. After faking us out and pretending he got stabbed, he reveals that all three judges were right in their picks. Too much? Probably.

Now it’s time for the vocal groups: River Deep, 4Play, and Mona Lisa. All good I suppose, but none really stand out. With their nerves getting the best of them, 4Play is going home.

The acrobats are the next group, featuring tumblers, rope jumpers, trapeze artists, and somehow two pole dancers. All quite good.

The magicians go next. Fantastic Fig and his cat Newton go first. Not good enough, even with the cat. Scott Alexander left Vegas about 10 years ago to raise his family. His illusion is to make a woman disappear and then reappear. Michael Turco also makes women appear out of thin air, but he has a noticeable issue with the door getting stuck on his first trick.

And now the animal acts. Jesse the jack russell performs with a shopping cart, jump ropes, and skateboard. Vegas Birds brings along a macau to face off against Echo. All the animal acts stumble pretty miserably, in spite of how entertaining they were originally.

We’re not out of the woods yet with the singers. Now it’s the classical singers: Necessary Diva, Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., and Cindy Chang. Early favorite Cindy is heading home.

With the bands, the singing competition continues. This groups includes BGP, Fiddleheads, Poplyfe, and Lost Boys.

During their rehearsal, Fatally Unique suffers the loss of one of their dancers after she falls face first on the stage. LD Dance also sees an injury, but it’s not enough to keep her from dancing anyway. As with LD Dance before her, the injured dancer from Fatally Unique is not going to let a busted lip and fractured nose stop her. Snap Boogie is also among the dance acts.

It’s been about 5 minutes since we’ve had a singing contest, so now it’s the female singers, including Dani Shay (not Justin Bieber). She sings an original song. Big risk, perhaps too big, as her nerves cause her to stop part way through. The judges warn her not to do her own stuff and want to hear something well known instead.

With Dani thinking of her new song, we take a break from music for a bit. So let’s go to J. Chris Newberg… the singing comedian. Still not funny. And then it’s a beatboxing Obama. Geechy Guy turns things around with some actual laughs, a little bit.

Dani returns to perform Trouble by Ray Lamontagne. I don’t think she’ll ever top her very first performance, but she’s still good.

The novelty acts include some guy with a bunch of ping pong paddles, a Tina Turner drag queen, and Those Funny Little People annoying Piers. Tim Fort (Kinetic King) has a larger exploding stick act.

Hopefully the last singing category they could possibly think of is the male singers (based on the promo, the kid singers get the spotlight tomorrow night). Ryan Andreas and Dezmond Meeks are in this group.

The judges have made their decisions. Geechy Guy and J. Chris Newberg are the comedians advancing. Scott Alexander is the lone magician to make it. Poplyfe and the Fiddleheads are going to Hollywood along with a few of the danger acts. Kinetic King and Those Funny Little People will be joining them. Echo is being given another chance. Mona Lisa is advancing, along with Fatally Unique, Dezmond, and Snap Boogie. Pole dancer Steve is going to Hollywood, but his competing fellow pole dancer is not. Landau and Zuma Zuma have made it through. Unsurprisingly, after they dragged it out for half the show, Dani will be in the next round as well.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 12, which airs Wednesday at 9/8c on NBC.

America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 10

Cindy Chang and the Fearless Flores Family capped off a decent night of talent in America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 9. Tonight the auditions conclude.

Avery, Brooklyn, and Cassidy, make up Avery and The Calico Hearts. They’re ages 9 and 10, so it’s no surprise to find them singing Justin Bieber. It’s like Alvin & The Chipmunks. Piers warns them this may not be the right year for them, but the other two judges say yes.

Kevin Shelley breaks boards with his head. I suppose there’s a talent to this, but it’s already getting old watching him go through 40 boards one after another. Sharon can’t see this in Vegas, but the other two can.

Dezmond Meeks is an oversinger/piano player. Thomas John is a juggler, who shows he can play the xylphone by spitting a ball out of his mouth. 4Play is a female singing group that has to qualify their name by saying it starts with a number. If you have to explain it, it fails, but their voices are strong enough that we can ignore it for now.

J. Chris Newberg is a singing comedian. Piers very quickly buzzes him, saying he’s absolutely great, except he’s not funny. For some reason, the other two judges are amused, though.

James David Pitts (“King Diamond”) is unaware what century it is. He’s a performer… at Hooters. It’s not long before he gets buzzed. I suspect we’re about to see Nick jump on stage and pretend he was great. Right on cue. Nick, do us a favor and stop dragging out the terrible wastes of time.

Chicago’s Ultimate Tumblers are, well, tumblers. Cool for what it is, but I’m not sure this is an act that can endure. Then a mishap happens, with one of the guys flipping right into the girl, but she just dusts herself off and gets back up to try the trick again. Howie thinks they have some work on getting the rawness ironed out, but ultimately all three judges say yes.

Manchego is in a robe. It’s really unfortunate and obvious where this is going. After he is done stripping off his multiple pairs of underwear, we’re conveniently greeted with a shot of an audience member with binoculars.

Morton Hyson is a creepy opera singer. Allynn Gooen of Goowin’s Balloowins is a balloon animal storyteller, which the judges don’t enjoy because they’re over the age of 5. Marivana sings, only not really.

Meet Me at Fairfax and 3rd are karaoke singers ages 67 and 81. Or at least one of them’s a singer, while the other one stands on his head. I don’t get it, but the judges are letting them go to Hollywood.
