This season could end up being a slow-grower for me. Usually by now, there is one or two that I become vested in. This year, not so much, although there are a few that are bubbling under the radar for me.

I was SO bummed, though, that David Leathers Jr. was cut! I'm hoping he's the last-minute add-on, but I have a feeling it's going to be Jermaine Jones (tall, burly guy) because the judges saw how devastated he was when they cut him; I could tell they felt bad. I'll take anyone BUT Richie Law. Can't stand him!

Houster - I hope you get a chance to write a little something at some point...your reviews are interesting and witty.
