two's company

And now the dramatic finale. Two spots left...one boy, one girl. Four finalists left...two boys, two girls. Seacrest informs us that each pair is going to approach the judges together, but only one member of each pair will survive. Insert dramatic pause here.
So the girls are up first...unknown Marisa and Antonella, one-half of the former BFF pair. Of course, we get the obligatory memory sequence showing Marisa nail her performance and Antonella butcher her lyrics. Which obviously means Antonella will make it through. True. That's exactly what happened.
Then we cue to the awkward elevator trip back to the finalist area. Uncomfortable.
Next up? Curly-haired Tommy and old, hairy Sundance Head. Again...we see Tommy be stellar and Sundance be awful. Who makes it through? Sundance, who proceeds to tell Tommy that if he wins, Tommy can be his bodyguard. Great. Looks like he already has the celebrity finesse skills.
Then, we end with the obligatory dance sequence showcasing all 24 finalists. I have to note one of my viewing partners mistook the female dance sequence for stripper auditions. Not far from the truth. Seriously.
With that, we enter the semifinals. Get ready. Any early predictions?

As for the last two who made it on, Antonella is going to go far. She has a great voice. But I think Sundance will be one of the first voted off. Hopefully that blondish girl who cries all the time, too (the one who asked the judges for constructive criticism and Simon told her to wipe her nose).
