This season introduces a twist, a new rule as they have been saying. What is the rule you may ask? Well, until they hit the top 5, the judges get one save. So they can veto one eliminated contestant, and that contestant gets another chance, and the next week two will be eliminated. I think this is awesome, because I was just reviewing my Year in Review that I did at the end of Season 7, and I made a list of things I thought they could change to make it a little more interesting, and one of the things I said was:

I have to say, off the bat, the gratuitous intro for the judges and Ryan was quite ridiculous. The question is, how is this going to work? Will it be a thirteen week show, or are they going to drop two in one week? Well, Simon explains right away, that tomorrow, the bottom two will be going home. As for tonight, the theme artist is Michael Jackson. Not an easy artist to cover, so this will be an interesting night.

Tonight, we have the eight more contestants competing for the last three spots. Will it be all girls? Will they break the normal mold and maybe put more guys in than girls? Is this just a sick twisted game for the guys who will compete for nothing?  Let's find out.

The question that remains is who are the three that get to go on, and who was to wait till tomorrow to find out if they get that second chance. He are just around the corner to the main stage and the top twelve.  I guess all that remains is to find out who makes it and who doesn't. However, before that, I have to make a point to say that if you look at the top six so far picked, you can already tell there will be a big distinction this year. The rules are the top boy, the top girl, and then the next top voted person makes it through every week. Right now, there are two girls and four guys. That means, by default, there should be two and two with two more spots to fill. They were both filled by guys. I have a feeling we will have a guy win this year.
