Reality Check: Who's Pulling Ahead on The Voice? Does X Factor Need 'Groups' Therapy?
Season 5 of The Voice is down to just 10 contestants — but three or four standouts are beginning to separate from the pack.
On this week’s Reality Check, my cohost Melinda Doolittle and I discuss our favorite perfomers from Top 12 Week — spoiler alert: their names rhyme with Bowl, Tacky, Splat and Bath-View — and ponder why Tessanne Chin, technically the best of the bunch, keeps falling just short of our expectations.

Also on the docket: The X Factor‘s ’80s Week, or more specifically Melinda’s pet peeve of excessive background vocals being used in the Groups category. Plus, there’s interpretive dancers, country-boy beefcake and even Mario Lopez’s Hipsways of Doom (™ pending)!
