8/7 Show Discussion Thread - "Believability"

[cantstopwatchin]

I'm bummed to see Hannah go - likeability-wise, she was my favorite. Like Zach said, she epitomizes the show b/c you root for her. I'm going to miss her smile and happy demeanor.

At this point, I'm pulling for Damien and Samuel but Samuel dropped a few notches for me when he sucked up to Ryan with the whole Christian thang. Sadly, I see Damien just treading water, since Ryan's essentially already written him off (literally). Lindsey - I have nothing positive to say about her. I've disliked her from the get-go and that hasn't changed. Nikki called her out on what I've been saying, so I was happy when she did. There's nothing believable, to me, about L. Alex, he's so one-dimensional. I've been waiting to see him act as something other than flamboyent and he just can't do it. I'm ready for him to go.

Huh, after re-reading this post, the only person I don't have anything negative to say about is Damien. I guess that's who I'm rooting for-LOL. Which means he'll be going home next week.

I would like to add that I see Samuel's interaction with Ryan regarding him being a Christian as simply his truth. No sucking up involved, his tat's existed before the show and are testimony. I especially liked what he said about there being misconceptions regarding high school (and Christianity). He can be a Christian and play music.

Regarding Alex, I don't care whether or not Alex can play straight. The other guys need to play gay therefore the reverse needs to be true for Alex. If he doesn't have the acting chops it needs to come to light.

Lindsey just does not move me at all. Vocally she has a legit theatre voice but on the screen her lack of depth shows through. I find myself wanting to send her somewhere for a year where she will experience the things that make us human and force us to deal with it. Then a little therapy and she'll be ready to go. All that said in the nicest way.

Damien has a lovely voice and could of course fill the role of an exchange student nicely. Sue's nemesis, I doubt it. I looked him up elsewhere and he does have a ton of experience in concerts with the group he performs with. Sort of a Lawrence Welk feel, but popular and nicely done in the genre.

I look forward to this weeks show.

I'm also bummed to see Hannah go! She just made you smile. I still don't like Lindsey a whole lot and am really surprised she wasn't the one to go. I think ever since the beginning of the show when she was sort of acting like a know-it-all she has just bothered me. I didn't like Damien in the beginning, but he has really grown on me. Whoever said it hit the nail on the head about Samuel's "one look". The serious look lol. He just isn't pulling the cool guy look off for me...at all. I think Alex is okay. Okay, I think that covers everyone. I guess I'm rooting for Damien as well!!

This is a minor casting spoiler because of who this actor will play. For me, this means that Alex is probably not the winner. That's not a spoiler, just a guess.

But Alex could be a younger brother of this more main character....
