I was pissed that Suzy Vulaca and Lisa Leuschner didn't make it to the final 12. Simon really hated them though

I think its ironic that the best guy singer for season 3 (George Huff) was the one that didn't even make it to the semis originally. (He was cut in the last round of hollywood/ first on the alternate list)

I did remember about how there were actually 36 contestants in season 3. I remember watching some of the contestants interviews. " Best moment for me was getting into the top 36!" But 4 of them just magically disappeared.
