Ryan calls Skylar and Jessica front and center. Starting with Skylar, Jimmy says Skylar's nice and all, but you know she wants to kick everyone's ass. He's not convinced she had a handle on the lyrics of "Fortunate Son," and the staging of the Dusty Springfield song was silly enough to make it his least favorite performance of hers ever. Ryan puts her on the spot about how she'll win the night if she gets another chance, and she says something about picking something more rocking and a bigger ballad. She adds that she'll need to figure it out, even though it sounds a lot like she already has. As for Jessica, Jimmy thought her performance of "You Are So Beautiful" was magnificent, but calls her "Proud Mary" a travesty. He regrets not helping Little Steven talk her out of it, and especially had issues with the grown-up (read: tiny) dress she had on during the performance, and accuses the stylist of torpedoing her. What, no picture-in-picture of Tommy Hilfiger in the audience? Ryan comes back and asks Jennifer for her take on Jessica's look last night, and she admits that it could be a bit much for us here in Flyoverland.
Time for the results, and Ryan slowly tells Jessica she's safe, while Skylar joins Hollie in the bottom two. Isn't it early in the show to have all the contestants split into tops and bottoms? Not to worry; Coldplay's coming back. After a shitload of ads, obvi.
There's an abrupt return to the live show which catches Ryan and Jennifer in the audience talking to Jimmy. After a moment of awkwardness, Ryan lets Jennifer introduce the encore from Coldplay, which is "Every Tear Is a Waterfall." Has anyone checked on Chris Martin's health lately? Because he's singing most of this song doubled over for some reason. Maybe he's caught what Phillip has. Also, the producers are clearly taking this opportunity to test-fire the confetti cannons they'll be using for the finale. Oddly, though, as Ryan throws it to the break, neither Hollie nor Skylar looks as happy as the festive atmosphere might seem to suggest.
