- Either the jarhead contingent was out in force and/or Josh was still hanging in as the "patriotic vote".
- America went completely tone-deaf. (We have already established that as a group, they are stoopid).
- There are more country fans that I anticipated who watch the show.
- People felt sorry for him after every judge gave him a less than enthusiastic evaluation.
- It was a kneejerk reaction to the judges attempting to steer the competition towards a final three of Kim, Clay and Ruben, though that is what will happen in the end.

Conspiracy theory time. I fast forwarded through much of the hour of "programming," but I'm simply not willing to believe that Ruben was among the bottom 2 vote getters. I'm not sure that they actually ever said that Ruben and Trenyce were the bottom 2 vote getters. Maybe they put Ruben in that group so as to get another performance out of him (and stop Josh from singing again), and merely implied that he was among the bottom two vote getters?
