So was anyone surprised at who left this week? It seemed pretty predictable. I DVR it, though, so didn't see - did they deliberate at all, or just tell her "It's unanimous, you're out" when she finished?

I wasn't surprised by who went home but wanted more for it to be someone else.

They didn't really deliberate. It looked like they discussed a little bit while she was singing her swan song (which I think isn't fair, it must be terribly distracting for the performer), and Simon either was faking dramatic suspense or wasn't 100% sure the vote was unanimous, because he didn't drop the ax immediately.

I agree. The one who went home has been one of my favorites from the beginning, but I really didn't see that person lasting too much longer. There were definitely others I was ready to see go though.

It was her time to go; she had taken it as far as she was going to go without further training. Very likable, though.
