Wiffenpoofs were more like whippin' poop. Jerry Lawson & Co should've been cut too.

It was fantastic. I don't completely agree with who was sent home, but all these people have talent. Ketchuplover, while I enjoyed Jerry Lawson & Co, I couldn't help but think it's the young ones turn, so I have to agree with you.

Thanks, I didn't realise it was on tonight too. Seems like it's Mon+Wed of this week, Mon+Wed of next week, then the finale is the Monday after (20th).

I watched it last year and loved it, but have to say this year's talent is exponentially better overall. I hated to see Pitch Slapped sent home. I really was entertained by their number, and not so nearly entertained by others, unfortunately the judges rule. All that said, I have NO idea how they are going to eliminate anyone. They are ALL good and deserve to win. It's purely subjective from here, unless someone really messes up.

Heres some information on what happened offset. The most interesting thing was that the first 4 episodes were filmed in August. http://www.dailyemerald.com/scene/on-the-rocks-to-be-seen-on-national-television-1.1820323

If, for the final week of the competition, they have 3 months to practice, I would think that the singing would be awesome.

So, a bit of trivia from Oregon.... The name "on the Rocks" was a take off from the name of the group "Straight no Chaser".

Interesting. I just ordered the Christmas CD (their earlier one with Carol of the Bells) of Straight No Chaser.. went to their site from a link on youtube.. they sell through Amazon but.. I was about to buy but noticed they were charging tax.. so I went direct to Amazon and the cd was less expensive AND no tax.

So we vote tonight for the winner??? I guess what they sing next week is just for entertainment. I want either Committed or Street Corner Symphony to win.

Was the show 2 hours long on 15th or less, PVR stopped after the 3rd group. I did not see final group sing the judges choice. Who was sent home, or which is the final three? Cheers

Trini, the judges decided to keep all 4 groups because they all did such a great job. Voting now goes to the viewers and the winner announced on Monday's show. Voting ends on Sunday night. I was happy with their decision. It would have been a very difficult choice.
