So I trust if you care at all about not being spoiled about tonight's elimination, you're already steering well clear of this blog, yes? Okay.
So the Judges' Save! After I left absolutely zero chance that the judges would ever save Matt, they...did. And in a really confusing manner, in which Simon was either overruled by the other three (which would mean the whole "unanimous" requirement for the Save had been jettisoned) or else he was trying to preserve his cool by pretending he didn't want to save Matt. Either way, the save has been used and is done for the season.
And while I don't think Matt's performance this week -- last night or tonight -- merited the save, I'm actually really glad they used it on him. The fact that he has no real chance of winning the whole show mitigates the impact of the Save on the ultimate outcome; certainly much more so than if Danny or Adam had been saved. And I still pretty much like Matt, so I'm cool.
As for points, I'm counting both Matt and Lil as Bottom Two, so they both get the -3.

Am I the only one who thinks there should be points awarded to a save? Probably. I just really want to win.
If I'd have known about the save before the pool started, there definitely would have been. Sorry, defending champ!
By that token, shouldn't Matt's points for the week be 0, not +2? I mean, going purely by the point structure, he wasn't in the bottom two, he was eliminated. Good luck on him getting the save; that means that he's still in the mix as far as getting points as long as he continues. But he got the lowest number of votes this week. Those who picked him should be punished!
Ahh, but he wasn't eliminated. So sayeth the rules: "YOU GET POINTS WHEN YOUR CONTESTANT
...doesn’t get eliminated in a given week (+5)"
Matt remains. He is not eliminated. He WAS in the bottom 2, so -3 and all, but not eliminated.
