This Week's Challenge: Talk the Talk Part 2 (3 Redemption Points)

I renamed this "Talk the Talk Part 2" because they already did a Talk the Talk challenge earlier this season (which Titus won).

Who should be eliminated, and why? Lucky did a respectable job on the mic this time around. Good comeback from Titus. Conor goes after Darren Young, probably just to set up matches for later on tonight. Young decks Conor. How lovely.

I think the first time around when asking for the fan's approval, the cheers for Darren Young were meant for Titus. The "playoff" between Young and O'Neil (again a fan vote) was no contest. Titus wins again!

Reviews/Thoughts:

Young/Yoshi started out slow and average. Yoshi got a bit of offense in before Chavo interfered to get Young the win in a cheap fashion.

Titus/Lucky was average to me as well.

So who's eliminated tonight?

Finally! Lucky Cannon is gone! Good riddance to this guy. Titus sings off-key and leads the "Na na na, hey hey good-bye chants." Maryse then spills the beans and says Lucky gave her some cheap stuff. Maryse slaps Lucky. I swear this was the best part of the entire show.

At least NXT allowed me to finally go to sleep.
