[quote comment="59221"][quote comment="59200"]Interestingly I read somewhere today that Simon said he/they decided to save Matt last wek because this week they think Anoop will be going and they wouldn’t save him so the save would be wasted… h’mmmmmm[/quote]Which is to me the entire point of the save to start with. Not so much to save someone who may win [because if they were close to winning they would not run shy of votes to start with] but to keep the best talent possible on the show.
The applause takes quite a bit of time too, they should have a 5 second light in the audience. :face:[/quote]

I think I agree. My thought for the save is to save someone that has more than a 50/50 chance of coming out ahead of 2 of the current contestants. if not, and they’re going home the next week anyway, the save was pointless.

I kinda think we’re saying the same thing.

I like the way you think, Lee.

They DID waste the save on Matt, A.G. would have been a useful save and we would have had a more entertaining season 8[/quote]
True that. I honestly believe it was cuz they wanted to continue the drama for the coming weeks.

I just plain don’t think the judges save should have been used. Was it really necessary? Does Matt really hold much more promise that we absolutely needed him to remain? I don’t think so…

Kara talks about it a little bit in this article. Towards the middle of the article.

[quote comment="59202"]I read about an interview Simon did and he’s probably not going to be part of AI soon as his contract is coming to an end and the 2 or 3 other projects he is a part of are in the UK and he said the commute is really wearing on him. That makes me so sad. I would miss Simon soooooo much.[/quote]
All they need do is throw enough $ at him and he will stay.

I don’t think the save was wasted at all.

Anyway, I read somewhere that ALL the judges would speak from now on because it was quite a disaster last week. I WANT them all to speak. Yes, I know, some of them say nothing while speaking a lot, but they’re there so let them speak. The 4th judge is just pointless and too much.

Like so many others said, cut out the extra crap and there is PLENTY of time for all the judges to critique.

[quote comment="59196"]If they would cut out the unnecessary judges’ time (i.e. tell Randy to stop booing Simon, tell Simon to stop wasting his breath criticizing Paula, cut down on the Ryan/Simon hoo-hah), reduce some of the contestant intros (unless they are actually informative and not just a waste of time) and make Paula attend a few courses on how to become more articulate, they would find themselves with that little bit of extra time…
I think that all four judges (since there are now four, not that I like having four) should speak – last week was utter nonsense.[/quote]

Exactly. Well said !
