The Next Great American Band

Tonights episode will feature songs from the Elton John / Bernie Taupin songbook. I will update the first half live, and the second half after I watch it...

First the eliminations...we'll see if VFTW is correct...

OK, they aren't telling us the eliminations. All of the bands are ready to play, and it looks like if you are called up to play you haven't been eliminated? They will be called up to play in no particular order.

1. Six Wire

VFTW was right on the money with the spoilers as expected.

How is this going to go down? I don't think either The Muggs or Rocket did themselves any favors tonight, but sometimes poor responses from the judges trigger more votes. For me, I would eliminate Tres Bien (don't get?) and Rocket. What do you think?

I am betting the ratings are even worse than last week. We'll see.
