How did Kelly Pickler survive?

How in the sam hill did Kelly Pickler not get voted off American Idol last night? I know no one likes Ace, but she can't sing a lick and is dumb as fence post. She is only around because of her looks. She can't light a candle to McFeever. She is the best one in competition.

Please America, send Pickler back to NC and off my TV set.
