And the Person Going Home Is...

8:55 We’re back…Michael and Matt at center stage with Ryan…Matt still looks REALLY sick…Lights down…Michael puts his arm around Matt…The lowest vote-getter is…Michael. I was starting to worry…Matt is safe…Michael has a huge smile on his face. He says, “And I have to sing after Stevie. Oh crap.” He knows he’s going home, he’s just going to make the most of it…And Paula, if you’re going to pretend to deliberate, you need to sit down and stop dancing…And are Simon and Randy really talking or are they just watching Paula’s behind?...I think based on all of her dancing, Kara took some of Paula’s happy pills tonight…I think this might actually be better last night…That ending is still hideous. Did Rickey Minor write that…Michael blows a kiss to the audience. He knows it’s over…

8:59 He’s still smiling and blowing kisses…Ryan asks for the verdict and Simon says they haven’t decided…The audience screams to let him stay…Now they’re deliberating…Simon says, “Paula, yes or no” and she tells him he’s not going to do that to her…Ryan reminds them there’s another show coming on…Simon says, “Okay, I’m going to make a decision” and Paula doesn’t seem happy about it…Simon tells him he’s going home…

9:00 Michael’s goodbye video…Michael is still smiling…I am so loving this song, by the way…

9:02 Ryan says, “Daddy’s coming home” and Michael reminds him he’s going on tour…We’re out…

Could someone tell me what just happened here?

I’ll try and break it down in a sec…
