With the song selections for this week, I'm predicting a bottom three of Dana, Ryan and Phil. Floating, but saved at the end, will be Zayra and/or Josh.

I'm quite looking forward to Toby and Magni.

Man, I hope Lukas COMPLETELY rearranges that song, because it is Number One (and no other song is even close) on my all-time most-hated song list. It's a bittersweet Barney Theme. Hate it, hat it, hate it. Worst. Song. Ever.

I watch these with suspicion. I do not trust the MB editing. So what we see is not always what is really happening. I still don't like Jill though. She comes off as a little beyotch. And I don't think that is all editing.

In this ep I was left with questions. Why did Dilana really choose Lukas? I get the feeling she feels he is her biggest competition and she did not want him on a team working against her. But yet the look on her face after Tommy praised Lukas for his part of the song. Well her look was sending daggers.

And when Lukas was out by the pool supposedly drunk and not helping. There was someone else off camera to the left. We could see the bare feet on the chair. Who was that? They made it look like Lukas was out there alone talking to himself about Jill. But someone else was also out there taking a break.

I really like how Storm was portrayed on this episode. And we saw Ryan get sneaky with Dana. He was sure steering her away from "I Alone" so he could have it. And she just thought he was helping her and suggesting Nirvana.

I liked parts of all 3 songs the teams came up with. But without hearing the whole song it was hard to tell which was the best.

Magni was definitely getting fed up with Jill. But then who wouldn't?

oh yeah. There's evil editting in there for sure.

Jill can't get off my television fast enough to please me.

Yep yep. Right there with you on Dilana. (I'll elaborate more later. I feel lazy right now. Plus I need a beer. Can I get you anything? *grin* He is soooooo cute.)

I think it was most likely Storm out by the pool with Lukas. The feet kinda gave it away. She has nice feet.

More Storm and Ryan makes Glowie happy.

I thought all three songs sounded pretty good. With Toby's being the weakest. <-- that seems to be the popular opinion (tough for me to say since Jill was in Magni's group)
For those who didn't see it... They were divided into three groups. The three who had the encore got to pick the teams. Dilana first since she had the first encore. She picked Lukas for manipulative conniving reasons. Toby next. He picks Phil. Magni next. He picks Josh. Lukas and Dilana pick Ryan and Storm. Toby and Phil pick Patrice and Zazoo. Magni and Josh pick Jill and get "stuck with" Dana - her words not mine. Though it's appropriate and I would have said it if she didn't. The teams are given a track of SN music and told to write lyrics. Lukas whips out the chorus in .2 seconds and wanders around drunk the rest of the time. Dilana gets irritated and can't focus. Ryan and Storm want to kill people. Jill thinks she's brilliant and keeps disturbing Magni with her shrillscreamsinging. He asks her politely to STFU. She doesn't. He asks her not so politely. She whines and cries and stomps outside. Lukas looks at the bare feet and says "ugh. I couldn't be on that team." Then Josh (being the cool mature guy that he is) wrangles her up and they finish the song. Patrice hits play and loses the track. (we weren't shown much of Toby's group) Lukas keeps going into Magni's group's room for beer. They all yell "There is no beer. We just told you that fifteen minutes ago." Lukas drank all the beer. He's sooo cute. Not because he drank all the beer, mind you. Just his actions during this episode. I want to cuddle him. Anyway. Dana belts out a verse she wrote. Sounded pretty good. Magni and Josh told her as much. Jill pooh poohed it and whined some more. "I couldn't understand what you were saying." (somebody please get her off of my television) Lukas didn't want any part of writing the rest of their song. So we're lead to believe. I think the more likely full story is that he was told they're using his chorus and they all wanted a hand in the writing. And rather than sit around the room, he went out for cigarettes and beer runs. They perform the songs in front of SN. TLee "gets chills" with DLSR's song and asks who wrote the chorus (Lukas wrote the chorus AND the melody, tyvm) and they all point to Lukas. TLee says something complimentary (sorry this is all memory from last night. I haven't watched it yet today.) and Dilana shoots daggers and fireballs out of her eyeballs at Lukas. TPPZ's song sounds cool. Jason calls it eclectic (I think it was Jason. Or was that me? Have to rewatch.). That's a fitting word. It was cool. MJJD's song is very harmonized. Kinda nice. Would have been better if you could hear anybody but Shrill.

Somebody said they thought Magni was a nicer guy than that and they were kind of put off. To me, this proved how annoying Jill must really be to get on Magni's nerves. Guy's a total sweetheart.

ETA: The only real thing of note about the rest of the episode is song selection and you can all see that up there. Phil opens a letter from Gilby that says whoever does "Brown Sugar" will get him on guitar. This doesn't cause as much of a stir as I believe it should. Ryan and Dilana both want "I Alone". It's sentimental for Ryan. First song he performed live (I believe that's what it was. Have to rewatch.) Dana says she wants Nirvana or "I Alone". Ryan suggests she do Nirvana. heh. She takes his advice. Storm says she'll do "Anything Anything" since nobody else knows it (nor did I).
