- Like the previous year, episodes featured auditions from multiple cities instead of featuring one (or occasionally two) city per audition episode.
- There were no televised unsuccessful contestants in Coeur d'Alene.
- Only three televised contestants were shown in Denver, the fewest for any city on American Idol ever.
