Show Host Scott Hayes Commentary

I goofed. I asked the judges to save two of our bottom four finalists, but I should have asked them to save three. We subsequently "discussed " this matter and the judges have decided to save Rohit. So, Rohit, sorry to send you on an emotional roller coaster, but you're still in it!

To review, based on DB2 community voting, Rajesh and Roberto were "safe ". Rohit, Brandon, Sree, and Akshat presented to earn "saves " from our judges. The judges have saved Rohit, Brandon, and Akshat.
