I don't think they do it the same way anymore. Besides, there are at least two elimination rounds AFTER she was eliminated, so if they did want to bring someone "back", it would likely be one who didn't make the last cut.

I think that the male and female brother/sister (Pakistani?) are not twins, although they do look alot alike. I thought the pedi-cab girl got cut but I could be wrong. I would really like to be wrong because she was my favorite through the first round of auditions. I thought she was in the room with Amanda (BFF w/Bailey and Antonella) and they got cut, didn't they?

I remembered some more from last night - Made it - curly (wild) haired chubby guy with glasses Didn't make it through second round - Navy guy, the young boy who called his mom (made a big deal of it since she was so accepting of him which he had not had before)

Did anyone notice the one girl who got cut in group auditions was named Robyn Troupe, from Houston, TX, the SAME girl who just got voted to sing with Justin Timberlake at the Grammys??? I'll bet she's glad she didn't make AI now, LOL. Robyn was on Access Hollywood last night talking about it. I didn't expect to see her because she said she was edited out of the original auditions. She was pretty decent singing with Justin, so maybe the AI format was not good for her. She was pretty happy with the outcome.

Also, I thought they rushed through the auditions as well last night. In the past, I thought they spent more time on the Hollywood portion of the show. I'd much rather see the Hollywood portion than as much of the auditions that we saw. Hopefully tonight, they will show more of the finalists singing so that we can figure out who to root for when the show starts. Right now, I'm just confused. Although, Sundance and the humorous guy with the curly hair are my starting favorites.

I just love how the brother went to comfort his sister who didn't make it, he is my fav right now just based on that! What an incredibly thoughtful kid.

The female reservist got cut also. I think it is very unfair the way they have shown some of the contestants through the original auditions and then focused on them again last night. There are some we have never even seen. The ones that are seen early get a fan base, and the others are already playing catchup. There was a lot of comment on this last year, and here they are doing it again. They spent a lot of time on people who were cut like the boy who called his mother after every round. They showed him calling his mother and telling her that he did not make it to the next round and apparently she hung up on him. Why show something like that? I am sorry, but once someone is cut, do not spend time on them. Show the ones we have never seen. In the time they spent on the cuts, they could have shown at least a few seconds of a bunch more.

Nigel (the exec producer) always has the same comeback when people claim it's unfair for certain people to be featured so much early on..he always says something like "You never saw Kelly Clarkson in the audition rounds".

Oh, and I am not saying I agree with Nigel..for heaven's sakes my 2 favs this past 2 years (Taylor and Constantine) were featured heavily. That said, I still can't see I would have liked one of the others more if my favs hadn't have been featured. My taste is my taste and it can't be forced on me by repetitiveness.

I totally agree, Naja! I think there is a lot of sour grapes and second-guessing when someone is voted off. They always think they are better then the ones left behind. That's our competative nature. And you are so right about "can't be forced on me by repetitveness." -If anything, shining that light a little brighter often shows up the flaws!

I sure hope that somebody talks to that young man who kept calling his mom after every round. I heard her tell him she loved him when he made it to the next round and he was crying and said that she never tells me she loves me. I didn't know she hung up on him when he got sent home. Argh, I get so mad when I hear that kind of stuff!

I didn't hear the "hang up" by mom. I heard his last call - I'll have to revisit my Tivo recording tonight to see if I can hear what she said to him (or didn't say...)

That is why I said apparently she hung up. He was talking to her and as soon as he said he did not make it to the next round, he looked really strange at the phone, closed it, held up his hand and dropped his head. We don't know for sure she hung up because he was on a cell phone and you know how unreliable those are. It was just his reaction that made me think so. And of course we will never know if being seen early would have helped anyone. You can't prove something that did not happen. And there are times that someone might just be so much more talented or have such a personality that they overcome it. But it is playing catchup. Does not mean someone can't do it, I just think it is unfair. Of course it is their show and they set the standards, so they can do anything they want to. I would just have liked to seen some of the others.

I think it is a bit unfair and besides I would be interested to have more depth of background on the ones who do make it through. The Navy guy didn't make it either

18 mins into the show and so far that top 24 spoiler I grabbed from idolforums is 100% correct.
