Yes Quietpraize...the drop to the ground and the overly drama shoulder turning of Nicole tells me...its very much rehearsed. Not watching any more....let me know who wins lol.............

It looked pretty spontaneous to me. I don't think it's fake or rigged. I just think that the drama is encouraged. Maybe it's for ratings. In any case, I think Nicole screwed up big time. By her own admission, she believed that Marcus had the least # of votes and would go home. So instead of showing some courage and integrity by casting her vote, she passed the buck and let "America decide". It was a total cop out and I think she did it so she wouldn't look like a bad guy by sending Marcus home. Now how does she look? Like a bad guy! She should have done the right thing in the first place and none of this would have happened.

As far as the younger contestants goes, I think they deserve a chance because they have proven they are some of the most talented. However, in every instance the younger ones have not taken rejection well. It started with Astro's attitude, the Drew's sobbing and now Rachel's meltdown. They simply lack maturity to accept failure. I don't think the producers should change the age limit, but rather provide coaching that includes counseling on how to lose and behave!

Tonight should be interesting. I'll be curious to see if they mention last week and if Nicole apologizes.

Congratulations to Melanie! That was a great finale show. I really liked all the special messages from their families, friends, teachers, etc. So touching!

Agreed! I really think it was the just outcome, though Josh was my fave from the beginning!
