Every year I go into Hollywood Week with great anticipation but forget how much I hate Group Night. No, it's not the drama - in some capitalistic way, I rather like seeing people implode in groups because dealing with that is a big part of how I make a living. So I can watch all of that in a very detached and clinical fashion.
No, the problem with Group Night is that every year they only get rid of like 20 people - this year from 91 to 71. So we get all this build up about how brutal it is only to send just 20 people - who weren't any good, anyway - home. Thankfully, potential Tatiana-channeling Drama Queen Amanda was one of the 20 sent packing.
The only thing that stood out for me tonite was - sigh - Casey James who is sure to get plenty of TV time as I can't see how he misses Final 12. Which assures me that I have to listen to how hot he is all year. Diandra says he is kind of like Ace Young from years back who knew he was hot and played to that. Since Ace couldn't sing, he needed to keep unbuttoning his shirt one more button each week. Alas, Casey appears to have some talent so I can't be so dismissive.

Jeff Goldford from Chicago is worth noting. Reminded me of Bob Seger, which always brings back memories of college. As you noticed last season, Ray, I like the performer IF I like the song and I like the song if it has some personal connection for me. So, I'm really not the one to be critiquing this show! All I do is turn it into an "All About Me" Hour!
And it is less than 24 hours before Boston Rob returns to his rightful place - Survivor: Villains vs Heroes! Let the games begin!
Unfortunately, the only person who stood out for me during the group show was the rocker chick, Mary Powers, and not in a good way. By the end of the show, I was praying that she was leaving...does that make me a horrible person? Her obnoxious and overbearing personality was a major turnoff for me. I agree with you, Ray...the group show is not very enjoyable! Very little singing, and a whole lot of bickering and stress.
