Yes, that's exactly what happened, and why Ryan scolds so much about how you can't assume anyone is safe and you always have to vote for your favorites to keep them on the show. I would have said this but I was too mad.

On a night like Tuesday, when so many good and popular people looked like they were in trouble (like Brooke and Chikezie) folks make sure to vote for them to "save" them, and forget to vote for singers who they might not vote for every week, but who were really good that particular week. This is why Carly was in the bottom three; this is how Daughtry got voted off during Elvis week when he was really good but Kat wasn't, so people voted to save her because they liked her, and forgot to vote for him; and how Jennifer Hudson got voted off so early. It didn't help that Amanda was on first. But on this show, you either need a big group of really loyal voters, or you need to be so good you cannot be denied.

Amanda might have appealed to people who watch the show but don't vote, and that might have been her undoing, unfortunately. I'm just mad because it means she won't be on the tour.
