Group Performance: The Final 6 performed a Carole King medley on results night.
On results night, no "bottom three" was announced. Ryan Seacrest stated early in the show that voting results would be announced in "random order." After Haley, James, and Lauren were announced as safe, Jacob, Casey, and Scotty were the last three remaining. Ryan then repeated that "Tonight the results are in random order" before announcing that Casey was eliminated. Ryan later confirmed that Jacob and Scotty were not necessarily among the bottom three vote-getters that week.
