Thia Megia eliminated from 'Idol 10', and it's no April Fools' Day joke!

Thia Megia has been eliminated from American Idol Season 10 on Thursday episode, March 31, 2011 (Friday in Manila, April Fools' Day).

How I wish it's just an April Fools' Day joke, but it's not.

Two 'Idol' finalists were actually elimimated last night as a result of the judges' decision to save finalist Casey Abrams from getting the boot last week.

Naima Adedapo, who usually ranked in the bottom of Idol fans' favorites list, was also eliminated along with Filipina contestant Thia Megia after being announced in the Bottom 3 with Paul McDonald for getting the lowest number of text votes this week.

It was Naima's 3rd time to be part of the Bottom 3, while it was the 2nd consecutive time for Thia. But both suffered the same fate of going home last night.

Thia and Naima will still be part of the Idol Summer Tour this coming April along with the remaining 9 finalists.
