Michael Sarver is a very nice guy.

But it takes more than kindness to win American Idol.

The lovable oil rig worker was sent home last night, as there was no doubt that the judges wouldn't save him from elimination. The only surprise of the evening?

That sexy crooner Matt Giraud joined Sarver in the bottom two. How the heck did that happen?!?

Sorry, Michael Sarver and Matt Giraud. There isn't room on American Idol for both of you.
