Week 7 Points/Standings

Sorry I wasn't around with performance recaps this week. A flu + freelance obligations kept me in a state of barely-conscious animation. I only just watched the performances today -- probably one of the best weeks this whole season. Andrew probs should have gone home, but then the judges wouldn't have been able to use their all-important save then, would they?

Speaking of which, the points ended up a bit quirky on account of the Save. By getting saved Michael got a +3 bonus. But he was still in the Bottom Two, so that's a -3. Also, by virtue of not being eliminated, Mike gets the same 5 points everybody else gets. What it all means is that, yes, Mike (+5 net for the week) ends up with more points than Andrew (+2 net) and Aaron (+4 net), even though he had fewer votes. Blame it on the save!

Bonus points this week:
Aaron +1 (sang first)
Lee +2 (sang last)
Aaron -2 (Bottom 3)
Andrew -3 (Bottom 2)
Mike -3 (Bottom 2)
Mike +3 (Judges' Save)
The Beatles +5 (theme week)
