"Hollywood Week returns for a third installment on American Idol as judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler continue to narrow down the contestants.  Tensions will be at their highest and the drama will continue to unfold tonight as the hopefuls are pared down even further. Join Digital Spy from 8/7c for live updates throughout the show.    22:00Tomorrow night, the contestants head to Las Vegas to face their biggest challenges yet. &amp;quot;What happens in Vegas will blow you away,&amp;quot; Ryan promises. 21:58Room 4 is anxious for the wait to be over. Jennifer and Randy tell Steven that it&amp;#039;s his turn to talk to the contestants, but Randy takes the helm when they step into the room. No worries, though, Room 4 is through! 21:56Room 3 is about to erupt into all-out war over the belch, but then the judges step in. Randy tells them they are part of an incredible talent pool, but that unfortunately they won&amp;#039;t be going through. The burp is forgotten as the Room 3 contestants burst into tears. Rachelle and Madison head home. 21:54Room 2 goes through as well. Reed and Skylar are thrilled. 21:49In Room 3, Madison Shanley is in tears. She can&amp;#039;t believe some people in her room are &amp;quot;laughing and happy&amp;quot;. A contestant burps loudly and Madison tells them to have some respect for the more serious competitors. 21:46Adam holds onto his lucky handkerchief in Room 1, while Joshua sits in a nearby corner. But they needn&amp;#039;t fret - the judges put them all through.  21:45The remaining contestants are split into one of four rooms. No-one knows which rooms will stay and which will go. 21:39The judges&amp;#039; decisions are up next! Stay tuned to see who will make it through! 21:38New father Adam Brock is the final contestant to take the stage. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s time American Idol had some white chocolate,&amp;quot; he tells a delighted Randy. Adam also sings &amp;#039;Georgia On My Mind&amp;#039;, accompanied by Steven bobbing his head in time to the music. &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s the significance of the hanky?&amp;quot; Randy asks of Adam&amp;#039;s white handkerchief after the performance ends. Adam reveals that it belonged to his late grandfather, then adds that Steven used it to wipe his sweat earlier in the day. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s doubly blessed,&amp;quot; he declares. 21:35Rachelle Lamb stops herself early into &amp;#039;The House That Built Me&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;I think I just messed up,&amp;quot; she says. Still, the music re-starts and she keeps going. 21:33Skylar Laine spent the night in the hospital, but still insists on competing. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s only one minute,&amp;quot; she says. For someone who spent the evening getting fluids pumped into her veins, she seems to be in remarkably good shape. Steven says it&amp;#039;s one of the best performances he&amp;#039;s seen all day.  21:27Reed sings &amp;#039;Georgia On My Mind&amp;#039;, accompanied by his drums. The judges seem enthusiastic, with Randy declaring &amp;quot;Nice, nice&amp;quot;. Steven calls Reed &amp;quot;extraordinary&amp;quot;. 21:24With 11 minutes to go, Reed decides to phone his mother instead of setting up an arrangement. He breaks down into tears, before taking a moment for himself. Then, inspiration strikes and Reed announces that he will play the drums. American Idol&amp;#039;s Associate Music Director admits that he&amp;#039;s a bit nervous about this performance. 21:22Reed Grimm is told he cannot perform a capella half an hour before he takes the stage. He heads across the street to work out an arrangement with a vocal coach. He&amp;#039;s having trouble focusing, though, and asks if he can call his parents. 21:19The weather is giving the contestants some trouble. Thunder interrupts some of the performances, while the rain seems to have put a damper on their spirits, according to Ryan. 21:18Creighton sings &amp;#039;What a Wonderful World&amp;#039;. His fellow contestants applaud enthusiastically as he belts out the song&amp;#039;s conclusion. All three judges get to their feet once again. 21:08Joshua takes the stage to perform &amp;#039;Jar of Hearts&amp;#039;. Steven, Jennifer and Randy give Joshua a standing ovation and Ryan notes that he&amp;#039;s set the bar high for the rest of the contestants.   21:0798 contestants remain after the end of Group Round. The contestants must now perform solo, with or without an instrument. They won&amp;#039;t know the results of their performance until the end of the day. 21:00Randy notes that MIT had quite a few problems, but sends them all through anyways. Ritchie&amp;#039;s teammate apologizes for criticizing him in front of the cameras. Ritchie takes it well and thanks him for his honesty. 20:56The final group, MIT, wait anxiously back stage. &amp;quot;We tried to make our group a little bit of a democracy,&amp;quot; says Ritchie. But, when the group exits the interview room, Ritchie stays behind to dish the dirt on the rest of his team members. He is certain that he won&amp;#039;t be sent home. Meanwhile, his fellow group members can&amp;#039;t believe Ritchie&amp;#039;s behavior. 20:52Imani is conscious once more. Two of her group members are sent home, but the judges must consult on her future. Imani promises that she will work hard if they put her through, but no dice. Jennifer sends her home too. 20:46Imani is back on her feet! She insists on joining her group, Area 451. Her team is saying a prayer, but the arrival of Imani seems to give them some more confidence. The performance starts off a bit rough as the first contestant forgets his lyrics, but the group begins to build momentum after that. Imani takes center stage for her part, but collapses. One group member continues to sing before Randy cuts him off.  20:43The next group, Hollywood Five, sing &amp;#039;Mercy&amp;#039;. The judges applaud enthusiastically before Randy sends them all through. 20:41A third contestant has passed out. Imani may not be able to perform with her group and the team hurries to re-structure their group into a trio. 20:35&amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re not getting cut,&amp;quot; the next team declares. Known as Those Girls and That Guy, the group perform Sugarland&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Stuck Like Glue&amp;#039;. The team displays an admirable amount of pep, but the judges look bored and the group receives only scattered applause from the audience. &amp;quot;None of you made it through,&amp;quot; Randy says bluntly. 20:31The next few groups forget the lyrics as well. Ryan notes that a rampant case of vocal amnesia has struck the contestants of American Idol. However, some of the contestants get creative, inventing new lyrics that at least make the judges laugh. 20:25&amp;quot;Help him with the lyrics,&amp;quot; Randy says of the group&amp;#039;s first contestant Dustin. Jackie tries to salvage the awful opening, but isn&amp;#039;t much help, forgetting the lyrics herself. Maybe she should have sat out after all. Randy looks shocked and sends most of the group home, saving only Mathenee. 20:22Another contestant has fainted! Jennifer can&amp;#039;t believe it. Jackie complains of dizziness, but remains determined to compete. She tells Ryan that she is a bit worried about performing, but insists she will try. 20:20Brielle, Shannon, Amber and Joshua are called forward, while Kyle is sent home. Looks like Brielle&amp;#039;s mother was right after all. He doesn&amp;#039;t seem too upset about it, though, saying the elimination will not keep him from practicing music. Meanwhile, Brielle&amp;#039;s mother tells Kyle she loves him. 20:18Group 6-7-9 are up next. &amp;quot;The weakest voice is opening the act,&amp;quot; says Brielle Von Hugel&amp;#039;s mother of her daughter&amp;#039;s group member Kyle. However, Brielle seems confident about her group&amp;#039;s chances.  20:12Grove Sauce become the first whole group to move forward in the competition. Steven and Randy praise the group&amp;#039;s rendition of &amp;#039;Hold on, I&amp;#039;m Comin&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and send everybody through. Host Ryan Seacrest names them the group to beat. 20:09Jennifer Malsh&amp;#039;s group, including Cherie, Cari, Gabrielle and Brianna, takes the stage to perform &amp;#039;Hit &amp;#039;Em Up Style&amp;#039;. It&amp;#039;s not good. &amp;quot;That was really bleak,&amp;quot; Randy says. Steven calls Jennifer and Cari forward, then proceeds to eliminate the rest of the group members. Cherie vomits after hearing about her elimination. 20:04The 185 remaining contestants are clearly stressed out about the upcoming group performances. The members of the 42 groups can barely keep their eyes open after night-long rehearsals. 20:01The Hollywood Round returns for its second week and tensions couldn&amp;#039;t be higher. Group Round has finally arrived and we&amp;#039;re bound to see some drama! Stay tuned. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
