Did anybody buy into the judges huddling to make a decision before Alexis was eliminated last night? There was no way that they were going to save her and that shot was just staged for dramatic effect.

How do we know that? Because if they had brought her back for next week's show and she had managed to make it through another week then the person that would have been eliminated next week would have gotten shafted out of the summer tour. Plus, next week two contestants would have been eliminated and that would have made the choice of who went on tour and who didn't even tougher. Only nine would have been left in the competition. What would they have done, flipped a coin to see who got to go on tour? There was no way they were going to implement their new save rule this week.
