AMERICAN IDOL

Someone Check The Numbers! Adam Lambert Cuts It Close

WAS THIS A JOKE? Last night's American Idol's elimination ritual shocked -- and probably appalled -- some viewers.

As Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey stood on one side with Matt Giraud and Kris Allen on the other, Adam Lambert was asked to choose his expected company.

But when Adam went to stand with Allison and Danny, Ryan Seacrest directed him to stand with the night's bottom dwellers Kris and Matt!

That's right folks, Adam Lambert was among the lowest vote-getters this week!

Ryan quickly relieved Kris to safety and the audience was left to guess who would go. Of course that person was Matt. How Adam got to be in the bottom, I don't know but he certainly wasn't going home tonight.

Matt was saved once before but now his time was up.

Things heat up now that we're down to the final four. Next week will be rock week with guest mentor Slash.

I know Allison and Adam will roll right with that theme, but can Danny and Kris handle it? Can't wait to find out!!
