This wasn't on par with Michael Johns or Chris Daughtry being voted off earlier than expected, but we definitely didn't think Michael Sarver's name would be called last night.

The oil rig worker gave a decent rendition of Gavin McGraw's "I Don't Wanna Be" on Tuesday, and we agree with Simon Cowell that he seems like a very nice guy, but did Sarver deserve a spot in the finals over Anoop Desai? Or even Ann Marie Boskovich?

Joining Sarver as the other two highest vote-getters from the week were a pair of obvious selections: Alexis Grace and Danny Gokey.

The ride isn't officially over for Desai, Boskvoich or any other semifinalist: there will be a wild card round this season, during which a trio of contestants will have a second chance to move on to the finals.

Let the campain begin now: Anoop for Wild Card!!!
