The judges' save can be used up to the final 5, so if my calculations are correct, they've got three weeks left to use it.
I'd say there's only a couple of contestants (Adam, Danny?) they would actually want to save, so do you think we will see them using it for dramatic effect at some point in the next three weeks? For example, they pretended they hadn't decided if they were going to save Michael or not, when they clearly weren't. Saving someone will create drama and excitement, and I doubt they'll get to the final five without using it, it'd be a wasted opportunity.
My predication is that they will use it to save Allison over the next couple of weeks.

That said, I hope they don't use it to save her either as she's been such a disappointment in the live shows.
The next two weakest contestants are Anoop and Scott. Both have been bottom 3 before and they could very easily be the next two out. They won't be saved.
That would give the judges a final chance to use it and it seems likely the person they'd have the opportunity to save would be one of Allison, Lil or Matt. But would they really bother? I suppose if one of those three had an amazing performance and unfairly ended up bottom then possibly, but that would also meaning losing two people the following week, putting one of their favourites in greater danger.
I think if voting goes 'right' then they won't use it at all. Not that voting always goes 'right' on this show!
Adam, Danny, Allison or Lil or Kris are bottom
Which is unlikely given that Scott, Matt and Anoop have all been bottom 2/ 3
The save will most likely be used on Alison

Just wondering, because I can't see them really wanting to save any of the most likely losers in the next 3 weeks (Anoop, Scott, Allison) and I'm starting to think they only brought it in in case it looked like there would be an all-male top 8, though that turned out not to be an issue... is there a chance that they won't actually use it?
Yes, the plan is if they save someone there is a double eviction the following week.
Kara, yes, not Paula.
I don't actually think they will use it to save a wildcard (effectively already having saved him) who has already been in the bottom two.
But I guess it depends on what is more important to them: making sure the 'right' contestants make it to the top five (in which case they probably won't use the save unless one of the favourites comes out bottom), or creating drama and headlines, in which case we will see it being used in the next three weeks.
That can't be guaranteed. Voter complacency could easily set in.
