When was daughtry voted off

The biggest controversy to come out of this season was the May 10, elimination of fan favorite Chris Daughtry. Some voters claimed that phone calls dialed for Daughtry during the first few minutes of voting were misrouted to contestant Katherine McPhee's lines, resulting in the voter hearing McPhee's recorded message thanking them for voting instead of his.

An unsuccessful petition drive to bring Daughtry back to the show was started by his fans and garnered attention by the media.

It also brought the show's voting system back into question with some fans and several critics claiming that the show's voting is rigged. Rigged voting would gain even more attention in Season 10 when contestant Pia Toscano was eliminated, and in Season 12 when contestant Angie Miller was eliminated.
