Re: Is being in the bottom 3 actually helpful?
Also, people who may not vote at all because the contestant they like to watch is considered safe may be motivated to pick up the phone and vote if their contestant is shown to be in danger. I think the proof of this is the increase in number of total votes from show to show throughout a particular season. I have no proof for this, but I'd be willing to bet that the voting increases after a "shocking" elimination.
