And Tatiana Is...

My calculations show nine more to go, but then I was never very good at math…

Jackie Tohn…Cut to Hollywood Week doing “I Hope You Dance” with guitar…Unanimous…She’s through…

Tatiana Del Toro…Cut to all of her emotions…I have the worst feeling she’s going through…Did anyone else hear Ryan trying to build her up in her voiceover when they cut to her Hollywood performance?...She comes in screaming and acting stupid…Simon asks her to try not to be annoying…Paula notices she’s wearing her bracelet. Paula is crying. Does that mean she’s gone? Please…When Tatiana says she couldn’t get the ring, Paula gives hers to her. Simon says that was generous of her to promote her jewelry on national TV…Not unanimous…She’s through…I knew it…It looks like it was Simon that voted no. Why does Randy always side with the girls?...Simon tells her that Paula will want the ring back…That screaming is SO fake…Nathaniel makes a face and Matt cringes…Ryan says we look forward to seeing what she will bring to the live shows. Actually, no we aren’t…

Nathaniel Marshall and Jackie Midkiff will face off…Cut to Jackie’s Hollywood performance…Jackie sings “When A Man Loves A Woman”…Kara asks why he’s in this sing-off position because he’s great and Simon disagrees…Cut to Nathaniel’s emotion in Hollywood…Cut to his story of living with his grandmother because his mom is in prison…I think that means he’s in. If not, that’s really cruel…Simon asks him what he’s wearing. He says if it’s his last day, he wants to be true to himself…Simon asks him to sing. He does “I’m Already There.” I wouldn’t have expected that one from him. It’s pretty good, but a little overblown, which makes him go a little off key…Simon says it’s the worst outfit he’s ever seen on the show…Nate says he doesn’t want to take away Jackie’s dream…They go back in…Nate’s in…Randy tells Jackie to come back…

The welder and the oil rigger face off? That’s not fair. Who wants to bet they both go through?...
