I had a strange thought tonight when I read the recap of last night's Idol results show and the use of the save. "A few years ago—in season 8, which is still pretty much the pinnacle of Idol's recent years—the producers decided to fix this by instilling the "Judges' Save"—essentially a manual override of the voting public, which can sometimes get confused by external factors like cuteness or racism." noisey.vice.com/blog/american-idol-44-shock-valueSeason 8 (Adam's season) was also a season that had 3 out contestants plus Adam in the Semi-finals. I wonder if they added the save in Season 8 knowing they planned to have an out gay contestant and wanted it just in case American was not grown up yet. As it is, Adam was close to elimination in the Top 5 show (Bottom 2) add they would not have been about able to save him. |

You do not think the judges would have used their save on Adam if he had been eliminated in the top 5??? Or did you mis-type? |

As it is, Adam was close to elimination in the Top 5 show (Bottom 2) add they would not have been about able to save him. Well, they couldn't have because they had already used the save that season on Matt. Once the "save" is gone, its gone. Besides which, I thought the save couldn't be used past Top 6. Adam being ousted in Top 5 still wouldn't have let them use the save (despite that NO ONE could have predicted he was in the bottom that day after that insane "Feeling Good" outing). There was a lot of talk that season as I recall that the save was being saved for Adam! (And then when it was looking obvious that Adam didn't need it they threw it to Matt as a bone because it was going to expire). |

But I could very well be wrong. ETA. Ok, Wikipedia says BEFORE top 5, so I was wrong. |
