I had predicted that Mig would be the next one to go and that Ty may last longer.

But it was quite shocking that Ty was let go. And that comment he made at the end about how the voters don’t like him because he is black and that he is too soulful, was quite emotional for him. I really felt for him. He was usually one of the best performers every night and yet he kept coming back to the bottom 3.

I also think that Mark Burnett productions probably felt that they should keep Jordis in the running to keep the male to female ratio in somewhat of a balance, and probably keep JD to have the drama going on.

Either way, it is sad that a talented singer like Ty is gone.

But I was right about Suzie getting the encore call! Yay! So from back-to-back bottom 3’s, she went to back-to-back encore calls. That’s quite a turnaround.

But you know what, last few episodes (including the vh1 episodes, of course) seem to be ‘Suzie McNeil show’ episodes….and no wonder she is getting the voters out :-)

And one final thought - I think Marty is probably the most mature individual out there.
