Video: 'Idol' Judges Rocked By Top 9 Elimination Shocker

By AOL TV Editors Posted Apr 8th 2011 01:20AM

The judges saved Casey Abrams a couple of weeks ago, so that option isn't around anymore. That means 'American Idol' is counting on you to get it right each and every week. But there's been almost no consistency in the bottom three this season.

So far we've seen Haley, Stefano, Paul and Casey in the Bottom Three this season among the remaining contestants. And this week continued the trend of seeing some new faces in the bottom. It's harder than ever to predict what the American public is looking for.

But one thing everyone seemed to agree on is that this week's eliminated contestant should not have been going home so soon.

"I'm never upset on this show and I'm never really mad," Randy Jackson said. "But this makes me mad."

Perhaps no one was as stunned as Stefano Langone. Standing beside early favorite Pia Toscano, Langone had to have figured it was him headed home. He simply stood there dumbstruck when Ryan Seacrest announced that he was safe.

For the fifth elimination in a row, it was one of the women in the competition who was sent home. We simply refuse to believe that all six of the guys in the Top 13 are superior to the five girls that have been sent packing.

If Langone's face showed shock, there was shock, tears and outrage on the judge's panel.

Jennifer Lopez tearfully said, "I have no idea what just happened here."

Even Seacrest closed the show by appealing directly to the audience, as if he didn't agree with these results either. "We need you," he told us all. "Stay with us this season."

See where Nigel, the Spin Doctor, is putting his personal spin on this elimination. We all knew she wasn't that good on the show and she would go early. This just gets funnier and funnier each week. I think they need to move this drama filled train wreck of a show to daytime or reality heaven.
