Your American Idol Schedule for the Week

For Central Time-ers:

Tuesday: 7-9pm. The final 12 contestants compete.
Wednesday: 7-8pm. Results Show.
Thursday: 7-8pm. Wild Card Show.
This is allegedly how the show will work (according to mtv.com):

"Quite simply, each judge can pick two contestants from the top 36 — from which everyone is eligible — and those eight (or possibly nine) singers will perform a song on the one-hour March 5 show, with three advancing into the top 12...

The same rules apply as during the audition phases, with majority picks winning the day and judge Simon Cowell casting the tie-breaking vote should there be a 2-2 deadlock, the spokesperson explained.

'I think when we put the 12 together, there will be more personality, more interest and just more diversity,' Cowell told USA Today, without hinting at who he favored to make the cut."
