So, again this maybe because I am the only person I know watching but, Platinum Hit got moved to Friday? Really? Isn't that like the kiss of death for a show? Aren't people supposed to start their weekend out and about on Fridays?Thus meaning I may continue to be the only person watching....
Actually I have to thank my dvr, who sadly I have yet to name, for alerting me to this, as all of a sudden it switched over to Bravo on Friday, because I have seen NO advertisements on the switch & just figured there wasn't an ep this past week due to the holiday.
(Spoilers ahead)
Anyways on to the actual show. The hook challenge was to write a hook about "Risk" & then compete against the other contestants to make the most money "busking".
Just wanna say, Sonyae was damn lucky to have immunity this week because she doesn't play an instrument & let's face it, her acapella skills sound like 50 cats are dragging there nails across a chalkboard, while drowning. Clearly street preforming was NOT gonna be her strong suit. Jess actually came in third, with her song about the only person who you can depend on is yourself. Johnny places second, with his betting on you, Jason Mraz-esq love song. Big shocker there, come on the boy is cute and his songs tend to be on the dreamy side...I'd give him money. Finally Jackie came in first place with her hook about taking the leap & telling someone you love them first. To be honest I think she only won because the girl can work a crowd, not that her hook was bad, but I think she got more money on her personality, but hey work whattcha got, right?
Now of course comes the crucial picking of teams, Jackie ends up with the only team of three, made up of her, Scotty & Sonyea. Johnny takes Brian, & Jess takes Nick. Now comes this week's twist, they have to write the song in a different genre than which it was originally written in. Dum Dum DUM!
Jackie goes with Country....again I say Jackie, who is working with Scotty & Sonyae, picks country...yeah, let that sink in a moment....
Johnny & Brian went for Reggae...to which Scotty pipes in "You better do it right." Ok I admit it, I enjoy me some Scotty, but really?
Finally Jess & Nick pick Pop...thus ensuring Nick will play the same cords he always does.
Off to the writing sessions. Despite thinking that Brian is COMPLETELY insane, Johnny lets him do his crazy thing and they end up working like the talented bromantic partners they were always meant to be.
Discourse rules in the land of Country and Jackie, Sonyae & Scotty attempt to put together a crazy disorganized mess of a song. Scotty checked out to mix the track, as he seems to always do, and Sonyea & Jackie tried desperately to actually come up with some decent story telling lyrics...
Jess & Nick seemed to work surprisingly well together, or at least Nick the Douche claimed that he brings out the best in whomever he works with, thus Jess is a good writer "when she works with Nick"...um..refresh my memory Nick, but how many of these episodes have you been on a wining team for? Just saying...
On to the actual competition, because really why else watch. So the time has come for our lovely little song birds to sing their little hearts out in the quest to become one step closer to winning this damn show. Nick & Jess are up first, he plays a pink paisley guitar and she rocks out...hmmm maybe you should have gone with rock instead of pop there Jess. Johnny & Brian brought forth an AMAZING drinking margaritas on tropical beach type song. Of course during both performances we have shots of Johnny/Jess each jamming out to the others song. Then bring up Jackie and co. right after Scotty leans in & tells her she "needs to sing it Country"...bring on the fake accent.
After all is said & sang, Johnny & Brian and Jackie, Sonyea & Scotty are all called to the stage. Seriously when Jess's team isn't one of the first two to get called, you can see the tears start to form. Poor girl just can't take the stress, but fear not Jess, your song, though not a good pop song is NOT the worst...
No that honor goes to Jackie's team, who's song seems to not only to have displeased the judges, but also offended them...the bad accent was a bad idea....
After an awesome he said/she said match of bus throwing it was finally time to say goodbye to our dear Jackie. Which is sad, as I do find her talented, I just think the girl WAY missed her mark on this one.
The episode ended with Jewel walking in on our lovely remaining contestants telling them their next challenge starts....NOW!
Really? That's how you're going to end it, as much as it pains me to say it, but if it wasn't for the fact that Johnny is still on the show kicking ass & taking names, I probably wouldn't still be watching...but alas I am hooked...
