Who got voted off American Idol?
It wasn’t much of a surprise who got voted off American Idol last night but it was surprising who was in the bottom three. Michael Sarver the oil rig worker from Texas eventually was told he was the lowest vote getter. I expected Megan Corkrey to be one of the bottom three but surprisingly she wasn’t.
The other two in the bottom three were Scott MacIntyre which I didn’t expect but wasn’t all that surprised either because the judges praise of him is getting less and less every week. Matt Giraud was the shocker in the bottom three for me. I just don’t understand how he didn’t have enough votes to keep a seat on the safe couch.
I’ve always believed that the producers of American Idol do some shady stuff with that voting process. Like this week I think they stuck Giraud in the bottom three to make the audience believe that the judges may have to use their coveted Save on him.
Say it was Megan Corkrey, Michael Sarver and Scott MacIntyre in the bottom three, the judges may use it on MacIntyre or they may not but if you stick Matt Giraud in there the audience is going to stay glued to the TV to see if the judges use it.
Then also you have the NCAA basketball tournament Sweet 16 games going on over on CBS so you know the producers of American Idol are worried about that cutting into their viewing audience.
