I dunno, Kenny, that's a broad assumption. I just want to see Lil go for the fact that we get to see her shocked face. LoL! With Disco, though, Lil has a solid chance to redeem herself. I think we'll see one of Matt/Anoop go and then the other one will be that "shocker" elimination, sad to say (well, not sad if it's Lil). Allison's getting some buzz finally and it would be a shame to see her go. |

Same here. I think she is a goner next week and I think Matt's fans may pull him through. I think she knows now she is fucked. Matt was great tonight. So much emotion. I don't think Simon was in love with using it on him, which is why he asked how many times he had been in the bottom three and said he has no chance of winning. However, you knew the girls were on his side and the whole audience was yelling for him to be saved so I think that fan power really helped him. How cute was Paula and Kara dancing and swaying? I'm pretty sure the girls automatically gave their answer as soon as he was cute so I don't mind them playing around this week. Randy and Simon were the only ones who seemed to be really deliberating. I had a feeling they may use it when Ryan was hyping up Matt and hyping up how big the moment was for him. He really built the drama. Ryan was right as it was historic for the show. As Kenny said, it's good it's out of the way so the safety net is gone and the show is basically back to normal. Now, whoever goes really goes...no matter what. That can be a good or bad thing. Now I hope we can lose Danny and Lil because they will really be gone LOL. God, it was emotional. They all looked so happy that he was saved. Danny was finally genuine and not an ass LOL. Simon just had to be the buzzkill and remind them two go home next week and that it's disco week LOL. I think they wanted this anyway. It builds momentum and adds drama to help set up the top 5 and the stretch run. The show needed a shakeup and now the stakes are really high next week. I think next week will end up being a rough week for most because Disco is hard so it should be interesting. |

I agree. A very genuine, heartfelt moment with the crowd and then all the other contestants. You can tell this group is close. Matt and Danny seem very close. I've noticed that alot the past few weeks. It's funny how the only time I can tolerate Danny is when he interacts with his friends like he did early on with his best friend and now with Matt. I don't think Alison will go home next week. As KMan said, she is getting buzz now and I would not be surprised if maybe she gets the pimp slot next week or some other very good spot in the performance order to ensure she gets through. The judges and show are clearly behind her now and Lil is pretty much a goner now. We already know Simon will be hoping she goes. I think Anoop and Lil are very vulnerable next week. It must be noted too that Lil and Anoop both have been in the bottom 3 the past two weeks and that usually means your time is nearly up and that the others have plenty of fan support. The fact that Lil got the pimp slot, did relatively well, was one of the only females left, and is the only African-American left and she still ended up in the bottom two this week speaks volumes. If her fans didn't help her this week after being in the bottom last week, they won't this week. I mean, how many times has the person who has gone last ended up in the bottom two? She's pretty much done, especially with two going. I do think we COULD get a shock given the circumstances. I think Danny will be very vulnerable next week with the Disco theme. I think most of them may not do well but I can see him really struggling with Disco. |

I fell in love with Matt, tonight. He was just so genuine and sweet. Before tonight, he was not a favorite of mine. Lil has to go. Her rendition of The Rose was all over the place and none of it good. Her worst performance in my judgement and she just should go. I do like Anoop, but it's time to trim now so if he goes, it's not a bad slot to leave in. Actually, I don't care for Kris and think he should go before Matt or Anoop. Adam is my favorite, Danny next and then Allison, so this is the final three I'm hoping for. |

After watching it again, I actually Simon meant Lil when he mentioned who they were thinking about saving. That would be a surprise based on what happened with them. Simon did not seem to like saving Matt judging by his saying he would never win and asking about how many times he had been in the bottom 3. Matt can thank the girls, Randy, and the fan outpouring tonight for saving him. It was just so nice to see the other Idols up on their feet and off to the side, eagerly hoping Matt got saved. That was the first time I saw so much emotion from all of them about someone. Hell, it's the first time the judges and the audience showed that much emotion. Did anyone catch how Randy, Paula, Kara, and Simon all group hugged with Simon after he made the announcement about the decision? Again, I think he said no but went with it based on the crowd and the other 3 judges since he makes last call. The other 3 judges were practically begging him, especially Kara and Paula, and they seemed elated that he saved Matt. Also, was it just me or did Paula and Kara seem close tonight? I mean, I was wondering if Kara got into Paula's stash or something LOL. They always seem to have some tension between them but there was none of that tonight. They were dancing and swaying together. Actually, the whole panel had a nice easiness about it that it hasn't had all year. Maybe they've worked out the kinks in regards to how they all relate to each other. I have this feeling this may come back to bite them though. Simon was right about Matt and I think that is why he didn't really want to save him. You want to use the save on someone who has a chance, like Kris or Alison. Now, it's out of play and they will really be stuck if someone goes next week that has a chance at this thing. That was the purpose of the save. To save people like Micheal Johns...people who have the potential to win this. Matt doesn't so they better pray they don't lose someone that has the potential to win it. I'm happy they used it on Matt and it's a nice story and all but it could end up hurting them. Still, it will be nice to not have to deal with it next week. We have a double elimination so there will be less filler. No more singing for survival. What's done is done...just like in the past. Whoever goes heads home so it's back to normal LOL. I also think the producers must have gotten in alot of hot water last week for running so over time. Seeing the changes made Tuesday night with only two judges speaking and the way they moved through tonight, you could tell they must have heard it from the network over the show running over time. Hopefully, they go back to all the judge's commenting next week and just cut out filler to save time. |

I bet Fox had a mandate that they had to use the save...Its good for the ratings and it will give the show buzz..And what's the point of having it, if your not going to use it..But i'm going to be pissed if Alllison is somehow in the bottom 2 next week.. |

It was time to use the save. They had to use it either this week or next. The real choosen ones (Danny and Adam) were not going to end up in the bottom 3. TPTB want the drama of a shocking elimination whatever if they say it or not. It gives them free press with everyone talking about it. So now they get the drama of using the save, along with a drama of a double elimination and possible chance of a shocking elimination. A lot of times when Simon says things like "You are not going to win this" is a challenge to the contestant and viewers to prove him wrong. Unfortunately I don't think Matt can win but I just think a lot of that is because of the bias judging where Adam and Danny can NEVER do wrong. |

Absolutely. The only ones that the producers and judges were really interested in saving were Danny and Adam. To a lesser degree, Allison, Kris and maybe Matt or Lil. Fortunately for TPTB, Danny and Adam were never going to be voted off. It just wasn't going to happen. Even with Michael Johns last year, he was never a "chosen one." Just like Giraud, he was never going to win. Everyone knew early on that it would be David Cook or David Archuleta. Plus, just like you said, the judges secretly love the shocking eliminations. It helps generate buzz and keeps the show very much an "anything can happen" sort of beast. The purpose of the save was simply to add a dramatic element to the eliminations and help generate buzz when it was finally used. It's no coincidence that we were all saying they would use it at Top 6 or Top 7 only to have it happen just as predicted. They wanted to drag it out as long as possible and then use it as a mid-season media magnet. The facade of it being a safety net for shocking eliminations was just that -- a facade. There was never any chance that the chosen ones would actually be kicked off by Top 5 anyway. |

I loved last night's results show! I can't believe Kris was NOT in bottom 3! I mean, I LOVE IT, but I honestly thought he would be, because of that stupid DialIdol... Go, Kris! I'm scared for him though during Disco week. Although, many will probably sound horrible next week. I love Matt too, but he really wasn't that good this week, so America did get it right by putting Lil and Matt in bottom two. But I was so happy that Matt was saved. I am sure Lil is going home next week. And I think she knows it. She wasn't smiling as much as others. Also, Anoop and Alison are in danger IMO. Now, without the save, Adam needs one really BAD week and I hope he gets voted off.. LOL |

I KNEW they were going to use the save last night. I absolutely knew it when they said Lil was safe. I firmly believe they would not have saved her. I adore Matt, and even though his performance Tuesday was a little rough, he SO deserves to be there. He has been a dark horse for me, that I have come to like more and more every week. I'm worried about next week though, because there really are not 2 people that I want to see go. Even though I am not an Adam fan, I don't necessarily want him gone, and I totally get that he is probably going to win, which irritates me but oh well. Lil is the only person left that is rubbing me the wrong way, so I am more than ready for her to skip on outta there. I think Anoop is wonderful, and I really don't blame him for defending himself when he has, because I hate it when the idols cower before the great and powerful Oz, I mean, Simon/rest of the judges. Sometimes I think the idols should speak up for themselves, especially since they are constantly being told that they need to know who they are as an artist. If they truly do, they will defend themselves to the judges sometimes. Anyway, thats just my opinion on that. I despise disco week only slightly less than I despise country week. Oy. I can only imagine... |

Loved listening to Matt and Kris's studio versions of their songs. I think I am going to end up downloading both of them. I was thinking for Kris next week with it being disco. I think he could perform something by Andy Gibb. Something like "Shadow Dancing" or "I Just Wanna Be Your Everything". I think with both he might be able to bring out the guitar and have fun with it. And I think they could be two songs he might be able to work on the arrangements to make them more his own. It seems like they only have to pick a song from the era and then can perform it how they want. Look at Adam with "Ring of Fire"....that was the farthest thing from country you could get. |
