And then there was 5

The AI producers have done it again. This time, the only 2 colored contestants left (Lil Rounds and Anoop)) have been eliminated, leaving the top 5 exclusively all white. The new executive producer seems to be making all the big mistakes. I really miss Nigel. He's the one responsible for Arch's loss, but at least he knew how to make a good TV show.

Since the judges have already used the 'save' that made history for making Matt G. the only contestant to have been saved twice (hello..? There's a reason he even needs to be saved. There's nothing glorious about needing to be brought back), this week's elimination was a bit more boring than before. Lil was brutally cut out under 3 minutes, and Anoop was placed in the bottom 3 with Allison (lord knows there's no way he can outlive her). There's no point in trying so hard to make the judges save you anymore, so their swan song was basically pointless. Interestingly, the final songs sound better when they're not desperately trying to make the judges like them again.

Also, this week's opening number was cheoreographed by Paula herself. They lipsynced to some Jackson 5 song, and attempted some very corny and ridiculous moves. Paula must be losing her touch. But it is obvious that the producers are trying to make Paula feel better by giving her more attention than Kara. They even gave her a bouquet of flowers for her effort.

And the final 5:
