So, it didn\u2019t come as a surprise to many last Sunday when with mischief written all over her face, host Misi\u00a0 announced that \u201cMake sure you don\u2019t miss the show this Thursday. The Judges have decided to exercise their power, and we hear someone might be returning to the show\u201d<br \/>\nAnd true to her words, this Thursday, six contestants- Immaculate, AJ, Tonii, Chito, Amadi and Rachael faced the judges for a second chance to be on the show.\u00a0 There were no performance, no renditions. The judges deliberated for a few minutes, and selected the contestants they would love to bring back into the competition.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a tough decision to make; all six contestants are talented, so sad we have to pick one each\u201d Jeffery Daniel says before selecting AJ whose eviction two weeks back generated a lot of news interest.<br \/>\nDaniel obviously had three favorites out of the bunch- Immaculate, Amadi and AJ, but for ardent followers of the music reality show, it wasn\u2019t entirely a surprise to see him pick the 23 year old<br \/>\nundergraduate of University of Calabar.<br \/>\nAudu Maikori on the other hand has continued to acknowledge Toni\u2019s talent, so bringing her back didn\u2019t come as a shock to many. All through her last performance, the cameras won\u2019t stop catching the glimpse in his eye as he kept on nodding his head. \u201cFor someone to sing like that even with a cold, there\u2019s no doubt to your talent\u201d He finally said after her spectacular performance.<br \/>\nThe wild card which sees three evicted contestants return to join the10 finalists is part of the Idols format which states that six or even more contestants may be brought back to the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As days turn into weeks, and weeks into months, Nigerian Idol keeps proving to viewers that the show is different from any other talent hunt to ever hit Nigerian TV.
