Okay, after a couple of seasons of lurking, I guess I'll try my hand

If I had known someone finally called Armen out, I wouldn't have put off listening to it all week. Now I have something to look forward to tonight . . .

Ty (the soldier) was a romantic interest for Bay in the first 6 or 7 episodes of the first season.  He was Daphne and Regina's neighbor before they moved
into the Kennish compound, so Regina has known him since he was a little kid.  He and Bay had some run-ins when she first
started investigating the life she could…

That is one of my all-time favorite jump cuts.

That was the impression I got as well.  I know during the previews, they showed one of the judges saying something along the lines of "We can't let her go out on stage and perform that song," but that never popped up during the actual judging sequence; I can only assume it was a reference to her wrecked voice.

Lines like this are why I anxiously wait for the PR review each week.

I am disappointed in myself for never making that connection before.
