Shock rocked Canadian Idol this week with the elimination of Toya Alexis from the competition.
Toya - widely regarded as having the best voice of all the finalists - was placed in the bottom three along with Gary Beals and Audrey de Montigny.
Billy Klippert, who was in the bottom two last week, landed in the top three this week, along with consistent performers Ryan Malcolm and Jenny Gear.
Programme host Ben Mulroney announced that the first person safe for the next week was Gary, leaving Audrey and Toya in the bottom two.
After an obligatory commercial break, Ben delivered the verdict: "Audrey, you are safe."
As the pair hugged, boos swept across the studio audience and the members of the judging panel looked at each other in shock.
When asked if she had a message for her fans, Toya answered: "I would just like to say thankyou and God bless to every one of you that has been supporting me through my journey. This has been a great challenge in my life and this is not the end of me so y'all just watch out and see."
The final five will be back next week to perform the songs of Elton John.
