[edit] Season 6
Note: Bottom 2 indicates that the contestant was 'saved' last. This may or may not indicate his or her actual vote rank. Sometimes, Seacrest will announce that the contestant is in the bottom 2, sometimes he will not. On the March 21 show, only the bottom 2 were announced.
* During the week of April 25, there was no eliminated contestant. That week's votes were added to the votes for the week of May 1, and the bottom two were then eliminated on the May 2 show. It was never noted who received the lowest number of votes, although Stacey was announced as the first to leave, and Richardson second.

1 Due to the Idol Gives Back special airing on the show's regular Wednesday results night, the results show was moved to Thursday. Additionally, Seacrest announced that both Mercado and Smithson were safe in one statement before eliminating Johns.
2 From this point forward, there is no longer a bottom 3 or 2 mentioned, and the only person made mention of is the one being eliminated from the competition.
