American Idol Sends contestant Piriz Home

After more than 70 million votes were counted, it was Piriz, MK Nobilette and Jena Irene who were asked by host Ryan to take a seat in the stools reserved for the bottom three contestants.

Jena Irene was soon sent to the safety of the contestants’ lounge and was later joined by Nobilette, leaving Piriz to sing for her life as the judges contemplated using the Judges’ Save.

The judges did not use their one save of the season and Piriz was sent home.
