I still need to watch the rest of show so I am light on pimpage remarks today. Here's some from the parts I did see:
Michael's being in the bottom 2 did not surprise me because he could barely keep up with the song. Did he get any pimpage? He did get to talk about his 2 year old daughter on results night.
He definitely got antipimped by the Simon saying that the judges would consider saving one of the bottom 2 and when Alexis was the boot candidate, he told her she was the one they would consider saving. So clearly Michael is on thin ice and the March thaw is upon us. He made the tour; his story arc may be up.
Danny got the "audience cheering and cheering and cheering so the judges can not give comments" pimpage. They let the cheering go on for some time.
Anoop got the "that makes up for last week and why you are part of the top 13" pimpage. They had the extended audience cheering thing for Anoop, too, but it did not go on for as long as they allowed it to for Danny.
Megan got the "you're a trooper because you are performing while ill" pimpage. Lots of discussion of her condition. That and her placement of second to last may have helped her stay. Or the lowcut dress. Or her singing. It wasn't Ryan bringing her Kleenex so she wouldn't touch him, lol. You decide.
Alexis was booted, and a friend mentioned to me that Alexis did not get good lighting or graphics when she sang her song on performance night, in comparison to others. I'll watch for that when I watch the rest of the show.
Wondering if Allison is slated to get the pimp spot at top 10. She's the dark horse, you know.
P.S. Read on another board that the top 10 went to Motown to get footage for the next show (theme is Motown songs?); but that Michael and Megan were too ill to go. So 8 of the top 10. Not pimpage or antipimpage, just being sick.
