It put me in a great mood that I eventually lost by the end of the episode. After the prior week's feel-good save, I had an inkling the good vibes wouldn't last. And for me, they ended when Matt Giraud-a contestant who America decided had run his course the week before-didn't even hit the bottom 3. If Matt's elimination had truly seemed like a fluke, or unjust maybe I'd have a different attitude. After all, the Save is supposed to reverse "shock" boots. But his cringe-worthy performance of "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" should have sent him packing. That the judges saved him on a re-do performance that was just as bad as the original, proves the Save is both a gimmick, and another tool the judges can use to influence the outcome. Anoop Desai is the contestant who got sacrificed for the sake of good TV. Chances are, Lil would have gone out the following week, and Anoop would have made the Top 5 instead of Matt. Anoop had been stepping it up big-time while Matt had been faltering. If you ask me, it was Anoop who really deserved to be saved.

I hope that rock week means Gokey will leave (again assuming he makes it through this week). I think it will be difficult for the other contestants, I just hope Adam, Allison and Kris make it to the end.
