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.
Jordin Sparks was the winner and Blake Lewis was runner-up.
