"We&amp;#x27;re nearing the homestretch in this insanity reality competition, and this week has a shocking bottom three--all contestants who&amp;#x27;ve previously been considered frontrunners! But alas, somebody&amp;#x27;s gotta go home. Homework Assignment: &amp;quot;More Than Words&amp;quot; by Extreme This week is Romanticality, which is not a word. But, whatever, if something had to be described as &amp;quot;romanticality,&amp;quot; I think &amp;quot;More Than Words&amp;quot; is it. Also, Robert Ulrich let&amp;#x27;s us know that he lost his virginity to this song. Ack. Keep that to yourself, bro. The kids are divided into pairs to perform for the very charming, very romantical Darren Criss. He picks Blakes as the winner thanks to his adorbs butterfly kisses performance with Ali. Music Video: &amp;quot;We Found Love&amp;quot; by Rihanna Again with the pairs. Because he was the winner, Blake gets to pick and goes with Ali again. Shanna is put with Aylin, and Lily and Michael are a new couple. Choreography: Unfortunately, Zach isn&amp;#x27;t here this week to lead choreography, so I have nothing more to say on this. Moving on. Vocals: Blake, for once, has a hard time in the studio, and Shanna isn&amp;#x27;t totally on the ball, either. Luckily, Michael does pretty darn well this week. Maybe he&amp;#x27;s over over-thinking? Shoot: Everyone does a good job with their &amp;quot;romances&amp;quot;--even Lily and Michael (despite Lily say she&amp;#x27;s not into Michael). But Shanna and Aylin fail to portray a realistic lesbian romance--is Aylin missing Charlie???--and look more like they&amp;#x27;re just dancing. The Bottom Three Aylin--&amp;quot;The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face&amp;quot; by Roberta Flack: Aylin forgets a ton of the words, but Ryan don&amp;#x27;t curr. He loves the idea of having a young female Muslim on the show, which sounds like a hot mess waiting to happen--we all know how well Ryan&amp;#x27;s handled stereotypes in the past (i.e. poorly). Blake--&amp;quot;Losing My Religion&amp;quot; by R.E.M.: Blake does a good job, but Ryan wants to see more vulnerability or something. OK? Shanna--&amp;quot;Stronger&amp;quot; by Kelly Clarkson: Her performance is good, but when Ryan asks what character she&amp;#x27;d like to play on the show, she says &amp;quot;an athletic girl who joins everything.&amp;quot; Shanna, don&amp;#x27;t you know Ryan wants crazy, totally against-the-norm characters? Why feature the girl that every high school has when you can have an evil villain named Sebastian. Also, Shanna totally throws Michael under the bus and claims he should have been in the bottom three. But thanks to a promo for next week aired minutes before the results are revealed, we know that Shanna goes home. Thanks for the spoiler, Oxygen. Did you agree with Ryan&amp;#x27;s decision? Personally, I think Shanna is talented, and it&amp;#x27;s kind of frustrating to see weaker performances move on instead. Keep up with other recaps... *Well, Here&amp;#x27;s ONE Way to Get Kicked Off a Show *Madonna and Bowie and Elvis, Oh My! *Noooo! My Favorite Contestant [Spoiler] Is Gone!
