I can definitely agree with Lindsay and Samuel being in the Bottom Three this week.  Samuel literally did nothing but stare straight into the camera and look angry.  Everyone else seemed to be able to smile for at least one millisecond in their performance, which makes sense considering that they were supposed to play love (unrequited love, yes, but still love).  Samuel flat out just didn't act.  Lindsay's emotion behind her singing did not match up at all with her performance in the video, in the video she was way too calm and mild-mannered for the emotion she put behind those high notes in the studio.  She also is unfortunately paying for being "fake" in the earlier weeks; it's comparable to when the high school bitch has an emotional breakdown and people feel bad but wonder if it's only for attention.

Alex actually managed to use his low energy to his advantage this week and produce a believable performance. I think Hannah had the worst voice by far, but I enjoyed her acting this week and didn't get a sense of "distraction" (though of course I wasn't on the set).  I have to agree with the choreographer about Damien's emotions through eyebrows, and I'm quite surprised he wasn't in the Bottom 3, but I think a lot of the judgment came from this vocal coach who has a hard on for him.

Ryan saying that he doesn't want to "root" for Samuel makes me think that, if Samuel wins, he may become another Jesse St. James-esque rival of the glee club.  Except after three episodes, he'll see the error of his ways and embrace his outsider status by joining the glee club and singing lead on one of the last songs of the episode.
