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.
One more thing: how plausible is it that they used Chris and Ace in the bottom two to exploit their friendship ("Ben Afleck/Matt Damon of American Idol") to sway Ace's fans to vote for Chris?
