ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Melissa, when Ryan asked you if you were surprised you were going home, you were so calm, answering simply, ''No.'' What was up with that?

MELISSA McGHEE: Through this whole process I've stayed really composed. I've tried to suck everything up all the time, but it got to me after the show ended. But when I went to the kiss-off dinner with the rest of the contestants, I lost my composure. And this morning, it was a little more rough. I lost it when I hugged [bandleader] Ricky Minor. Him and Ace are the two people I let it out on.

Were you surprised about Ace and Lisa joining you in the bottom three?

Definitely, I was. But you prepare to be let down. You just breathe a little bit and pray a little bit during that commercial break.

What was up with Kevin Covais' big Simon diss on Tuesday?

I know! We were all so shocked. When we heard that we were like, Whoa. We were not expecting that one from him.
