Since TAR wasn't delayed here i watched GREASE at 9pm.
Here's what i thought.

We definitely have a danny and sandy. Max and laura.
They were both my favorites before tonight. But i was not sure how they would work together.
First off, i think america made the right choice eliminating allie and derek. I think they were the weakest, IMO. Especially allie.
I actually really liked the show this week. I thought that the side by side duets (ashley singing and then laura singing parts from the same song AND then austin and max doing the same) was a really good choice. It let you compare.
And i liked seeing the male/female combinations.
After seeing the show I was convinced that laura and max are the best combination.
Kathleen marshall actually said something smart. She said to look at who you believe when you watch them. The choice for the women seems completely clear cut. And i actually liked ashley a lot when she first auditioned. But when i watch her i feel nothing. Except that she is mugging for the camera. I really don't feel any emotion. And i like watching her less and less each week. In fact the only thing i liked of her tonight was watching her sister's taped bit.
As for laura, she mesmerizes me. And what she said was true. She has improved and grown so much during this competition.
As for austin, he is fine. I like him alright and think he the most well rounded probably out of everybody. But he seems slightly fake to me. And while i would be okay if he won. I really do prefer max.
And then there is max. I love him. He has grown so much as well. I love watching him. He feels everything he does.
But what clinched it was the second i saw laura and max sing together. It was really something. I really think they would be good together.
So imagine my surprise when all 3 judges said laura and max were the best. I thought the votes would be split, especially since ashley looks the part. And since austin has so much experience. But it was unanimous.
I was happy they let the judges speak. Because to me that is the most interesting part. I thought they were all pretty nice about how they felt. But i also think america is very swayed by what the judges say. So i do think max and laura will win.
Although it was interesting that they said there was only 1% difference between max and austin. I'm assuming that means that laura beat ashley by much more.
