Unfortunately Nick and Caleb keep getting saved.

They don't? They just get a judges save.

They don't even care about the new alumni from the ABC seasons.

We're redoing Drag Race seasons. Take 5 seconds to look at the previous page instead of just ?????'ing me.

Tagging @Solaris since he's watching the show now and probably doesn't know about this thread.

That's not going to happen to anyone from Idol in 2020, and hasn't happened to anyone from Idol in years.

Literally everyone and their mother saw her doing Nothing Compares 2 U. And I don't see why we're bringing Caleb in the conversation when he wasn't mentioned.

They didn't figure it out after S16 or S17, so why start now?

I just think it's worded funny since the Top 10 results are happening the same night the Top 20 results. Typically any saves doled out when the finalists are being built is referred to as a wildcard.

lol I don't even remember Ariana on the judging panel.

I imagine it's like the previous seasons and the save doesn't work for the semi-finalist cuts.

Unless Spice World counts But it's not eligible for this rankdown.

It's nothing personal, I just hate musicals.

GARRETT JACOBS Well he's obviously a goner with these nominations, so since I'm actually a fan, I'll just channel my inner @*Chris and do the write-up myself. /control freak Elliott Garrett Jacobs is a semi-finalist / finalist depending on if you consider the Top 14 finalists or semi-finalists from that season. He was notably put up against Laine Hardy for the final spot in S16's Top 24. Oops, sorry. I meant season 1. Since they were both from Louisiana, they had a similar vibe musically; at the time, I was fine with Garrett making it through since I liked him more in season 16, but nowadays I like Laine more. THE STRUGGLE. Anyway, Garrett had four performances in the voting rounds of his show - a cover of Shawn Mendes' Treat You Better (I try not to remember it, even as a fan), his duet to Lucky (not the Britney Spears song), a cover of Phillip Phillips' Raging Fire, and then finally a performance of Have You Ever Seen the Rain? Though he didn't make the Top 10, he stayed active on Twitter and whatnot since he was close friends with eventual runner-up Caleb Lee Hutchinson and notably called people out when they were trying to make homophobic comments about Ada Vox, so that was nice to see. Shortly afterward, I met Garrett for the first time when we both had VIP tickets to Clark Beckham's EP release show. Since Clark is Garrett's favourite alumni, we both bonded over that, and I even offered to take a photo of them together for Garrett. He released a couple of singles after that, and then did his very own solo acoustic set at CMA Fest in 2019, which Andrew and I got to see. He premiered a bunch of new songs there and it was awesome getting to see just how much he'd grown in just the year since his season. He also recognized me afterward. He's one of the few semi-finalists whose career I've tried to follow, and I'm glad to see that he didn't let his early elimination curb his decision to pursue music. I've been a fan of the music he's put out, and he's remained just as nice and appreciative the first time I met him as he is now. Here's his music. SAVE: James Durbin

He's a goner with these nominations anyway so at least I can give him a better write-up than anyone else would

Cut Garrett Save James Durbin

Lee has immunity

OH NOW WE CAN GET TWO HOUR EPISODES

He’s one of my least favourite winners, I don’t think his Cagayan game was that good and I haven’t found him remotely enjoyable in either of his subsequent appearances.

I hope Natalie wins for the lulz now tbh

I can’t believe in a cast that started with all these legends, Tony’s going to win. I just—

Denise shutting it down. A queen.

Sarah being over it
