With most fans predicting that Wade might be the one who will end up getting eliminated next week, some speculate that if he does perform well, he might get saved

'American Idol' has thousands of fans and followers speculating over who wins and loses as well as rooting for their favorites in the show this season 17. Although each contestant is unique in their own way, not everyone makes it through. Through the course of time with eliminations, we are now left with the top six contestants. And now, with the finale approaching, the competition has gotten tougher and it is anyone's game currently.

On Sunday, when 'American Idol' airs its next episode, we will get to see the top 6 battle it out again for a chance to get closer to the finale and will perform songs that inspire them.

And although it is anyone's game right now, ahead of Sunday's performance, fans on Reddit are speculating which contestant has the highest chance of getting eliminated.

"Wade has the greatest chance of leaving followed by Laci. Madison and Alejandro have a chance of leaving but not a big one," wrote a fan on Reddit. Another fan said, "I think Alejandro will be fine with acoustic, folk Woodstock songs. Wade's probably in danger though. Only one I’m sure about."

Another fan also confirmed that they think Wade Cota has the highest chance of getting eliminated. "My opinion is Wade and the girl with dark brown hair. Alejandro is going to be saved next week in the top 4." Agreeing to other fans, one fan wrote, "Agree...they seem impressed still with everyone except for Wade. Considering they basically said bye to him last week during his critique."

With most fans predicting that Wade might be the one who will end up getting eliminated next week, some speculate that if he does perform well, he might get saved. Some even speculate that if he is the one with the lowest votes, he might get saved by the judges. "If Wade pulls out an amazing performance he will be fine," said a fan. 

Adding to that another one wrote, "Wade, MAYBE Maddison, Alejandro. Regardless, any of the 5 that isn't Wade will most likely get the save." With that said and done, we will have to wait and see if these speculations are right, or will we be surprised?

'American Idol' season 17 airs every Sunday and Monday night on ABC. Check your local listings for more information.
