Last night, the Top 14 contestants on American Idol competed in a live show, with a live vote. The plan was for 2 contestants to be eliminated at the end of the show, but because the votes could not be accurately tabulated in time, the results won’t be announced for another week!

Did they create too many voting methods to be quickly tabulated over a commercial break? In the old days, you just called a phone number, but now there are five ways to vote: on the official website, by SMS text, on Facebook, on Instagram and on TikTok. How will they fix this next time?

Will two contestants have to rehearse all week, only to be eliminated at the start of show, or will they secretly be told ahead of time, to spare them?
