THOUGHTS
I suppose you could make the argument that this was really Caitlyn's time to go, but I don't really think there was a wrong choice here when it came down to Caitlyn and Tee. On the one hand, Tee is the better singer. On the other hand, I just find Caitlyn more interesting because there's a journey with her. She's growing from one week to the next, as if trying to prove to people that Ronan was right to put her through. Whether or not she actually accomplishes this is up to the viewer, but there's something compelling about seeing her try. But if she'd gone home instead of Tee, I wouldn't have been upset. Ultimately, this was the right Bottom 2, in my opinion.
But what did you think of the result? Did the right act go home? Was this the right Bottom 3? Sound off in the comments!
