Judges Use Their Save on "Idol"
It was a strange night on "American Idol" last night when arguably the three best contestants ended up in the bottom three and in danger of going home. Then there was utter shock when Jessica Sanchez, a favorite throughout the season, was named as the lowest vote-getter. Sanchez didn't even finish her song before the judges ran on stage to tell her she wouldn't be going home because they were going to use their one "save" of the season to bring her back next week.
