I found it interesting that they focused on Chris's wife immediately after Paris was sent back. Probably a good production shot on the fly but could have also been "scripted". I'd be willing to bet that Chris does not grace the bottom three again. Remember that Reuben and Bo were in the bottom three and made it to the finals. There might have been others I'm not sure...
I mean, who are they kidding that Ace and Chris could be that close in the voting?
They are looking for cheap drama is all. They told Paris that she was safe but not that she wasn't in the bottom 2. I suspect that she is getting a bit of a push given her family's connection to Randy as well as her huge upside.
The only winner I know for certain was never in the bottom 3 was Kelly Clarkson. Carrie Underwood may not have been either, but I don't remember for certain. I think Fantasia was in the bottom three the night the three black divas were all in it. That was when Elton John accused AI of racism, LOL!
Fantasia was in the bottom three once I think.
