TORONTO - Two more contestants have been sent home on the CBC-TV reality show "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria."
Katie Kerr, a student from Windsor, Ont., and Kyla Tingley of Dartmouth, N.S., received the fewest votes this week, along with Tamara Fifield of Truro, N.S.
The trio then had an "elimination sing-off," performing "Jesus Christ Superstar." Judge Simon Lee spared Fifield, but Kerr and Tingley got the boot.
Kerr is a student at the University of Windsor. Tingley received an East Coast Music Award nomination in 2005 with her group, The Chronicles.
"How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" aims to find a performer to star as nun-turned-governess Maria von Trapp in a production of "The Sound of Music" to be staged in Toronto this fall. It's based on a British series of the same name that Webber co-created.
In addition to Fifield, other members of the Top 6 are: Jayme Armstrong of Vancouver, Donna Lajeunesse, from Bowmanville, Ont.; Vancouver's Elicia MacKenzie, Marisa McIntyre of Waterloo, Ont., and Janna Polzin, originally from Woodstock, Ont., now living in Toronto.
