So, I was surprised to hear about the rule that the judges could save someone, and shocked to see, Jasmine leaving so soon, I thought she was pretty good, and would have enjoyed seeing more of her. I believe that the new rule may have been instigated because the judges were shocked that Michael Johns got kicked off so early last year. The call in votes doesn't always give a true count of viewers' favorites, because you can have multiple votes for one or more contestants. People are more likely to vote if they are fearful that their favorite is leaving. Anyway, I think it's a good rule and I hope the judges use it wisely. |
