Original Voice coaches Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Adam Lavine kicked off the fifth season of the newly-minted Emmy winner. Besides Christina's immense weight loss and Cee Lo's new head tattoo, there was actual talent to talk about. But first the four coaches started things off with their rendition of the classic I Love Rock and Roll to remind everyone, in case they forgot, who the show's real stars are. The first round of blind auditions did not disappoint, as a former rockstar, background singer, sandwich-maker and pageant coach -- just to name a few -- rocked the stage. In the end, Adam welcomed three contestants to his team, Christina and Cee Lo each chose two, and three-time winner of the singing competition, Blake, chose one.
OH NYE:
Dancing With The Stars fans must have been grateful to Bill Nye for making middle school a lot more entertaining, as the Science Guy found himself safe this week, even with the worst score of season. Former football player, Keyshawn Johnson was the first to shuffle off the competition instead. But votes couldn't save Bill from injury, as the 57-year-old competitor was rushed to the hospital after hurting his knee during his paso doble dance. After posting a photo of himself and partner Tyne Stecklein with a wrapped knee and a tweet that confirmed the torn ligament, Bill Nye's fate in the competition is unknown, but he hasn't stepped down as of yet. This week's winners included High School Musical's Corbin Bleu and his partner Karina, who won over the judges with their Jive.
THICKER THAN ...:
The second episode of Blood vs. Water (which seems to be Survivor's most intricate season yet) began with a look at Redemption Island, as Candice, Rupert and Marissa -- the three castaways who left the island last week -- battled it out for a chance to stay in the game. In an intricate challenge involving balancing spools through a maze, the three gave it their all as the remaining castaways, including their loved ones, cheered on. After completing the challenge in third place, fan-favourite Rupert Boneham was sent home for good. But his wife still has a shot. In the Immunity Challenge, Jarvis took the win for Galang, and earned them fishing gear. Tadhana, on the other hand, headed to Tribal Council, where Rachel was voted out to join the inhabitants of Redemption Island.
SOMETHING FISHY:
MTV cupids Nev and Max were back at it this week, to help two love-struck teens meet for the first time on Catfish. Nick and Melissa, who live in completely different states met when they were 12-years-old on a Tila Tequila fan page, of all places. That just spells romance. For six years, they talked, got to know each other, and eventually fell in love. Nick decided it was time for the two to meet and contacted Nev and Max to help make it all possible. But many things stood in the way, including Melissa's live-in boyfriend, Olin. After the two hosts scooped up Nick and flew him to meet Melissa, he was not expecting to find out that, not only was she still in love with her boyfriend, but she had also manipulated her photo angles and lighting to make her look a lot less heavy. She blamed it on her low self-esteem, but for someone with low self-esteem, she does have two men who both love her. In the end, she had to choose between them and she decided to continue to live with her boyfriend, but remains close friends with Nick.
Quote Of The Week:
"This is a great game. I love Survivor, but I love my wife more." - Rupert Boheman, the first castaway off the show after taking his wife's spot on Redemption Island.
Fearless Prediction:
An injury added to his lack of skill is just putting salt on the wound for Bill Nye the Science Guy. Even if he doesn't step down from the competition, we can't see how far he'll make it. Crutches don't make the best dance partner.
Biggest Surprise:
It was quite the shock on The Voice when none of the four coaches turned around to choose 15-year-old Matthew Brea, who nailed the Jackson 5's I Want You Back, which he dedicated to his late brother.
What the heck moment:
Season 5's first episode wasn't the only premiere on The Voice this week as Cee Lo Green took the opportunity to debut his new head tattoo. We hope that it's just henna.
