Esther, Bame Pull Out Of Pop Idols

They escaped miraculously the previous week after they were up for eviction. But you could still tell after their last performance that the couple would not survive the next elimination.  As expected, the couple received the least votes for the second week running. Their names were announced along side Michael and Kagiso, two of the shows' amazingly talented youngsters.

Esther and Bame's absence seemed to give the judges some headache as they fumbled for a while pondering what to do with the remaining duo.  They took long to decide who should go home that night.
