Top 5 Results Show: JLo Brings It "On the Floor"

8:33 We’re back…More of “Hell’s Kitchen”…Jacob and Lauren are doing a blind taste test…The first is beef…Jacob gets it…Tofu…They both look sick…Lauren gets it…Hot dog…Lauren gets it…Lauren wins…She said she hopes her winning streak continues…He tells them they have great futures in the restaurant business as customers…

8:35 Ryan is in the audience with Randy and Steven to watch JLo. They’ve got popcorn and Coke…They start throwing popcorn…They’re doing a great job of making this look live, but I’m pretty sure it’s on tape. But you know it’s going to be wild…Pitbull comes through the audience to the stage…There are dancers in glass boxes…JLo comes out through screen in back…The dancers break out of the boxes…She’s actually singing, not that there’s much singing in this song…She stands on a platform that rises…And yes, she has a wind machine…She gets the audience to jump…She’s holding a mic, so her movements are a little limited…The dancers are all guys in weird sparkly black costumes…She’s in gold with gold makeup…There’s a big round platform where the judges normally are…Dance breakdown…Didn’t see where she put her mic…Pitbull appears on the steps in the back…Her dancer hands her the mic…She goes up the steps to sing for the audience in the back…Have you heard the version without Pitbull? It’s terrible!...And with a flourish of fireworks, that’s it…They cut to the guys in the audience throwing popcorn and she appears to blow them a kiss, but I’m sure it was on tape. And I can understand, because there wouldn’t be enough time to reset that or to fix JLo’s hair, makeup and wardrobe…After the break…

Anyone remember when she performed “Que Hiciste” live on the show and there was so much smoke, you couldn’t see after the commercial break?

Okay, reset time. Will Ryan make two groups with the fifth person having to decide where to go? Who wants to bet he holds Scotty until the end?
