Last week the judges used their “save” – this show’s version of a death row inmate’s last-minute reprieve from the governor – to save singer Jessica Sanchez from elimination. But now that the save has been used, there will be no more impromptu group hugs after yet another against-the-odds, and against-the-viewer-voters, escape: the governor never rings twice. So from now on, at least, things are a little tougher on this series. So far this year, the only toughness – and, by and large, the only honest criticism – has come from Jimmy Iovine.
