So what you're saying is, Kelly has been making busted decisions for longer than just this season?

Going strictly of TA's numbers above...they would suggest there is a good chance that both Ricky and Kat get in...and Rose does not.

I've come to think the Katie/Ricky/Rose/Jake finale is too obvious and TBTB won't allow it. So my likely flop prediction is: T3 - Katie/Ricky/Rose M3 - Jake/HS/ Will B2 - Marybeth/Kat HS wins the save.

MTE. MB was the "shocker" last night. You can argue there has been one every week. I don't see why the BB would be any different. It makes for good TV and discussion, which is probably the show's main goal.

If Rose is in the IS she wins...doesnt matter who the other 2 are.

Jesus Rose would would likely put Amanda to shame on this....and that is some serious high praise. I'm here for it.

Yep I agree with all of it. In fact I think TPTB want a twist that no one saw coming. It is a television show, after all.

I could have "coached" Maelyn to a win and I know absolutely nothing about music.

This is worth a second glance. Everyone assumes Jake is in but this season is a little nuts so...

That's it. It's nice and neat.

Most popular contestant going last = more eyeballs staying tuned til the end to see "what Katie's gonna do" is my theory...but I'm just spitballing here tbh.

A Queen of all trades? Ok I'll show myself out.

Both good points I think.

All of this is true. Her slot and song didn't do her any favors tho imo.

Agreed. Ricky is clearly the Blaker TPTB want in the finale. We all know Blake is capable of putting two there tho. We'll see.

I think MB still has a chance...but she needs the absolute perfect song. TPTB want her out so she has do something extraordinary.

It could happen honesty. Although again, it wouldn't seem to make sense to pimp someone exactly one week after kneecapping them. Stranger things have happened tho.

Yeah this is the point I was trying make. I'm not a Will fan but the fact that he has made it this far, doing something that normally doesn't fly on this show, says quite a bit. Will and his fans should be proud.

I still have trouble dealing with how insanely beautiful this Queen is.

Just a few for the solos... Marybeth - "Speak to a Girl" (Faith Hill) season1 really has the perfect song for her. Ricky - "Do I Wanna Know" (Arctic Monkeys) "Lie To Me" (Johnny Lang) Jake - "You Save Me" (Kenny Chesney) "Love, Me" (Colin Raye) Kat - "I Hope You Dance" (Leanne Womack) "7up" (Boy in Space) Rose - "Cry To Me" (Solomon Burke)

I Think MB did well with it...but that was maybe Reagan's best performance? I'm going with Reagan.

Yes to all. Rose just feels different than the likes of Kyla or Kymberli to me (not that they weren't good.) I can't picture the finale without her in it. Think she has a real shot at a PV...but if she's in the IS she's 100% winning that. There is no way she's in the B2.

For some reason I can see Rose and Ricky putting together something pretty fantastic.

They don't need to bus Will...he's likely gone as far as he can go (to his credit actually.) And I can't see them pimping MB one week after they threw her to the wolves. Anything is possible tho!

That's an even better way of putting it. I've rewatched her performance probably 25 times or so....I can't get enough. Obviously her voice is top notch but I think she has a really strong and beautiful stage presence too. She just looks like she was born to do this.
