I think haters are getting desperate to derail Drew Lynch.

And because every dance act going out, I feel that Freelusion may be going home as well. So I am ready for another one of my favorite variety acts to go home. Whatever it is, it better not be the ventriloquist or regurgitator. Thanks Keldemption! Gold Derby is fun and it's cool seeing how fans predict to get a sense of fan reaction. I'm okay with surprise results because it comes with the territory of reality competition shows. Voters are biased, and the "most talented" act is almost never going to win without some interesting personality/backstory.

I agree that people are giving Drew too hard a time. I think pairing Drew and Siro-A together when they announced the result made Drew the scapegoat for social media hate. In the end, Derek, BB, CL, and SJ ALL beat Siro-A. There's no doubt in my mind that it was Samantha that barely beat Siro-A. Siro-A would have won Judges' Choice easily against CL.

Don't underestimate Freelusion. They have the advantage over Siro-A with a continual story in their dances, a better backstory (main male dancer always felt different, wanted to express his art; the three are great friends and one even had to sacrifice himself last week, etc.), and more social media support (The female dancer has 29.8K followers and the celebrity support of Vanessa Hudgens, who posted on Twitter multiple times to vote for Freelusion).
