Makes no sense at all. I can't recall whether they did this before...dropping 5 at once. I don't recall this happening.

I was surprised and thought it was kind of weird, as well, but the only explanation I could think of is that it gives a few of them a couple more performances. Nine of them got to give four performances since the lives began with the top 12. In years past when they send two home at a time (opposed to just one this year), only six people made it long enough to give four performances. Basically, sending five home at a time allowed three people to give extra performances and allow themselves more of a chance to display what they can do.

Hopefully that makes a little sense, as it felt kind of confusing to try and translate from my mind to the keyboard. I still do agree that sending five home at a time seems crazy, but them wanting to give a few top 12 finalists a couple extra performances is the only explanation I could think of.

And BTW, I am SHOCKED that Madi didn't make the finale. She absolutely deserved it over Barrett, but that's the country votes working their magic. If Jordan doesn't win, it would be a travesty, IMO.
