I’m confused...we still have to wait to find out the final (30th) contestant, and we go down to 13 this week? That’s a big chop...

Yeah, but I'm not complaining. They used to drag out this process for three weeks. Last year, it was two weeks (I think) and that was still too long.
It's almost always obvious who the best singers are anyway, so there's no point in dragging it out. And the judges/producers will still be able shoe-horn three others in there in case "America gets it wrong".
