The judges' save for the Top 8 performance night will probably be used on a girl to eliminate Jack or Kayko although I suspect Jack will go home on Monday.

1. Triston - Dominated Facebook the nights of the Top 20 to Top 14. Still solid numbers for Top 12 night even though the performance really sucked. 2. Will - Solid FB numbers. The only one aside from Kayko who has lead in FB reacts for any night aside from Triston. 3. Abi - The female contestant with the highest peak on FB reacts. She gave the performance of the season, which still isn't enough to win considering the bias this show has for male contestants. 4. Mia - The dark horse and my favourite in the competition. Makes great song choices and is the most consistent performer. Maybe she will be able to break into the Top 3 and slay the male country singers. 5. KB - She’s been quite inconsistent but has the full brunt of the Mormon fans in her homebase of Utah. The contestant that gets the biggest boost in FB reacts relatively compared to the rest after a day is KB, probably because of this Mormon fanbase. 6. Emmy - She has a safety cushion none of the other contestants have in that her grandmother is incredibly famous, so people are very curious about following her story. 7. Kayko - He should be good for another night considering his Somebody That I Used to Know was received well even though I thought it was terrible. He led the night in FB reacts for the first time. 8. Julia - I Believe was a mini-Rude moment for her in that it capped her support much like it did for Dennis in Season 16 where it didn't matter what he did after that as voters soured on him 'cause of that performance. 9. Jack - The edit has done the most to limit his appeal with the focus on the faces and his 2 NOs at his audition. Katy also painted him as a calculating strategist on Monday, which viewers aren't liking since they're easily susceptible to judge comments. 10. McKenna - Almost certainly going home on Sunday no matter how well she does.

It's just like the rest of the finals voting nights. You will be voting. It's just the judges choose who will be advancing from the bottom group.

Taylor Swift would never judge on American Idol, and she shouldn't since she'd make me eyes bleed with rage.

The April Surprise is a scandal regarding a couple of male contestants. Idol Maniac has changed his mind about posting it, but since I already have the details, I will be posting it instead. ABC has no idea what is coming.

What about the April Surprise Idol Maniac has hinted about that is yet to come? It could change the trajectory of the competition.

People were fearmongering about a Phillip Phillips and Colton Dixon F2 in Season 11, and that didn't end up happening. I believe the fears of a Triston/Will F2 are similarly unfounded.

It could happen. The judges are trying to get Triston to give them Elvis energy with his extremely awkward stage presence. Who knows whether Triston will take the bait though.

Triston is staring right at your face. If there is a front runner, it's him.

This thread should be closed for this painful meninist's rants are not welcome here.

I don't believe ABC Idol cares about optics. This is the same show that critiqued only Dimitrius and Uche and gave everyone else a pass one night, so I can see it going either way with regards to whether they want a black contestant advancing. I believe that if they really wanted a black contestant advancing that they'd critique Kayko or even McKenna instead of being desperate to ensure they were safe last night. Nevertheless, I will still predict that McKenna is going home.

I've been watching since the week of the Top 20. I knew Abi was choosing a MCR song, and I intended to watch only that performance but decided to watch them all that night.

I don't think she will give a solid performance. Last night's performance was definitely not solid.

Whatever McKenna has chosen, she needs to take it easy on her voice, or she will not be long for the competition. Maybe I'm screwing myself over in the Idol Predictions game, but I am the only one that went with a bold prediction that was different than Jayna and Roman going home by predicting McKenna going home in Roman's place.
