Episode Report Card Kim: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Cry Baby
By Kim | Season 11 | Episode 18 | Aired on 11.16.2010
Enrique Iglesias is here to perform his song "I Like It." I saw him perform this on Today Show and he kind of dry-humped a girl in the audience and it made me very uncomfortable. So now that's all I can picture. So who are the pros chosen to dance during this song? Cheryl and Louis, Dmitry and Kym, and Damien and I guess that's Peta? She's been on lots of results show this season, so you'd think I would recognize her by now. She kind of looks like Edyta. Maybe she's the Edyta replacement, just like Chelsie is the Julianne replacement. Enrique Iglesias could not be more autotuned. Well, I guess he could, but not while still sounding semi-human. I think Carrie Ann is doing The Swim behind the judges' table. Hey, Enrique Iglesias should be a contestant on this show!
Brooke is backstage talking to the just-announced finalists. Derek says he hopes to have fun in the freestyle and not worry so much about Jennifer's injuries. Kyle is sad that either Bristol or Brandy has to go home. Lacey admits that she didn't think in the first week that Kyle could make it to the finals, but she's so excited for him.
Brandy and Maks are on stage along with Bristol and Mark to find out the results. Mark tries to connect with Bristol just before they begin her waltz, but she won't even look him in the eyes. That showed in her dance. She seemed too in her head. And then she was disappointed with the scores. Does she even see herself? Just when I start to like Bristol, she acts like a petulant teen and I hate her again. Brandy and Maks seemed really connected on the other hand, and he admitted that he trusts her, which got her to feign shock. Brandy came off a lot more human in those candid moments, and Bristol came off a lot more pouty. Interesting that we didn't get to see those before we voted.
After another commercial break, it's time to find out that Brandy is going home. I mean, come on. They've been setting it up for the whole hour, and you know that's what's going to happen. I am typing this live, and I promise I won't go back and change it after I find out the results. Also, Brandy looks like she's going to cry, which seems like a clue, and Bristol looks happy. Len tells Brandy that she really earned her first perfect score last night, and tells Bristol that she had the hardest, longest journey of anyone probably in the history of the show. So let's end it, people!
Brooke is sure to emphasize that these are not necessarily the bottom two, even though no one seems to pay attention to that part. So who's going home? Brandy and Maks. Derek is in shock. So is the audience. I notice that Bristol and Mark don't go over and give them a hug or anything. I wonder if the producers are scared to let Maks talk. Luckily, he is very diplomatic and says that his family came to this country because people got to vote and their voices would be heard, and that's what he loves about this show. Bruno begs Brandy to come back next week and do her freestyle, and you can tell that Brandy is barely holding it together so she can't even answer. And indeed, as they roll her clip package, you can see in the live inset that Brandy is sobbing into Maks's shoulder. Aw. Stupid Bristol. See what you did?
