Maybe because the results of that week were rigged.
He was in the bottom 3 only once. During rock week (the Top 5), Kris was in the bottom 3 and Adam Lambert and Matt Giraud were in the bottom 2.
On Season 8, and was first used to save Matt Giraud.
The American idol who was out of the season on the 4/22/09 was Anoop Desai and Lil Rounds. Two people got out because the week before the judges saved Matt Giraud from elimination meaning that two had to go out the following week.

Lauren Alaina, James Durbin, and Scotty McCreery

1- Kelly Clarkson . 2- Robin Studderd . 3- Fantasia Barrino . 4- Carrie Underwood . 5- Taylor Hicks . 6- Jordin Sparks . 7- David Cook . 8- Kris Allen . 9- Lee DeWyze .
AnswerKelly Pickler and Taylor Hicks have not been in the bottom three as yet.There were 82 contestants on American Idol from season 1 through 7 because season 1 had only ten contestants. While some may be less talented I don't believe a person could fairly say any were untalented. Additionally many contestants were eliminated before voting and fall into a different category.
For season 8 there seems to be a top 13 with the 4 judges choices Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver, Danny Gokey, Megan Corkey, Adam Lambert, Jasmine Murray, Matt Giraud, Allison Iraheta, Kris Allen, Anoop Desia, Scott McIntyre, Jorge Nunez, & Lil Rounds
The 9th season American Idol winner was Lee DeWyze.
American Idol Season 8 starts in January.
