For
two straight weeks now, American Idol
viewers have delivered shocking voting results. Last week, they'd have sent
Jessica Sanchez home if the judges hadn't used their save. This week, there was
no save remaining for Colton Dixon. The Tennessee
singer's first trip to the Bottom Three resulted in his elimination.
"You
know, I need to apologize," Colton
told Ryan Seacrest and the judges after he heard the news. "I wasn't
myself last night, and I get it. I appreciate what you told me last night. I'll
take that when I'm making a record."
"You
have a huge career ahead of you, man," Randy Jackson told him.
So
Hollie Cavanagh and Elise Testone, who have "vacation homes in the Bottom
Three," as Jimmy Iovine might say, outlasted a possible favorite.
