Last night's display of the Top 12's take on classics by The Rolling Stones went much better than many (including me) anticipated, but that still doesn't change the fact that someone must go home tonight. But as The Rolling Stones once sang, "Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday..."
With that said, read my predictions for how tonight will go below:
Andrew, Paige, Lacey
Bottom 2
Paige, Lacey
Eliminated
Lacey
The bottom three will serve one purpose tonight, and that is to "wake up" people who have been letting Andrew skate by on some subpar performance over the past four weeks. The producers will probably try to frame it as a "shocker," but it really is anything but considering the competition as of late and how badly Andrew has been blowing it. Thus, by including him in the B3 tonight it will serve as a kick in the pants that will not only provide him with the proper wakeup call, but it will remind his fans that they can't fall asleep at the wheel.
Paige will be thrown in the bottom two because she probably deserves to be there, even though she wasn't as bad as many were predicting she'd be based on her laryngitis. Despite being in grave danger, Paige probably won't get enough of a boost from this appearance to launch her far ahead in the competition.
And then there's Lacey, who fits the bill as the perfect 12th-place finalist. She had underwhelming performances during the semifinals, she got mild comments from the judges and she performed fourth, which is one of the worst spots to perform at during Top 12-10 weeks. Add to this the fact that she sang "Ruby Tuesday" last night, which includes the lyrics "goodbye ruby Tuesday" and therefore is clearly about her. Thus, Lacey will be sent packing tonight.
In my original predictions, to my surprise I actually have Lacey leaving in 12th place, so maybe I'll start off the finals with a double win in terms of correct predictions.
