What's interesting is how rarely this actually would have been employed in the past -- for Johns or Smithson last year, for Constantine perhaps in season 4, J-Hud we'd hope and maybe Christina Christian, but contrary to what Seacrest suggested it could not have saved Daughtry or Doolittle from premature ouster given the "before final five" limitation. Indeed, it's hard finding folks in most seasons who were so clearly prematurely gone to merit this remedy. So, maybe, they don't use the Idol Immunity at all, and that's fine too. Should it have been used tonight?

NO MORE GUATEMALAN PEASANT SOUP? I won't discuss the results in the body of the post, but we can discuss the new rule, and it is, indeed, what they experimented with during France's Nouvelle Star 6 -- once this season, prior to the final five, the judges can unanimously vote to save an otherwise-ousted competitor for an additional week, forcing a double-elimination the following week. Compared to what could have been, I can live with this immunity idol Idol Immunity.
