We knew the show would be trimming six people by the end of the week but Ryan Seacrest revealed that they were splitting that action across two nights.

Ten performed tonight chosen at random -- or by "Idol" producers to net the best chance of the worst going home -- with three getting the boot.

They were also able to split their celebrity duets, giving us Jason Mraz, Brett Young, Shaggy, Elle King, and Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo tonight.

Tomorrow, we can look forward to Julia Michaels, Lukas Graham, Chris Isaak, Cynthia Erivo, Ben Harper and lovelytheband.

Brett was the best thing that ever happened to Riley in this competition, teaching her how to interpret a lyric and express the emotional intent behind a song, rather than bopping and smiling through "Jolene" like we saw last week.

If we had to make very early predictions on who might get the boot tomorrow night, we'll place our (fake) money on Eddie Island, Logan Johnson and Raquel Trinidad.
