"Big surprises" ahead for the Top 12

Apparently the fun has just begun. Mike Darnell, FOX's president of alternative entertainment, revealed in an interview with TV Week that the Top 12 will feature one of the biggest surprises of all. Per Reality TV Magazine:

In an interview with TV Week, Mike Darnell said, “There’s a big surprise coming when we get to the top 12, but I can’t reveal it right now.” He said even the contestants will be surprised!
Darnell went on to say the surprise will "not affect the core of the show," which makes it seem like not a huge deal.

The alleged surprise is not the fact that the Top 12 will be living together in a mansion (as they did in previous seasons) nor is it the fact that this will play a heavy role in the content of the show that makes it to TV time. Some are predicting perhaps there will be a Top 13/14 or the tour will include the entire Top 12, but these have been common predictions over the past few seasons every time there comes a rumor pertaining to the Top 12.

IDOL LIVE is willing to bet the judges will get to use an immunity each week to save someone they think is in danger of being cast off, but each contestant is only allowed one immunity and they would have to make the decision prior to the bottom 3 being announced, so that the contestant the judges give immunity to may in fact be very safe.

Just a guess, but it can't hurt when there are already a ton of nonsensical ones floating around.
