Katharine Discusses The Week Chris Daughtry Was Voted Off

"I knew that my fans were going to still really, really vote hard for me that week, but I really thought I was going home. I was preparing myself, even though the look on my face was like oh my God, I’m so sick, I don’t want to go. It was like I didn’t want to go. But yes, it was hard. After the fact, when the show was over and Chris was going home, it was just as hard for me because I kind of felt that like, 'Oh, poor Chris.' Like he should have been the one to stay.

And maybe that wasn’t even so much, just I know that in the media it was kind of like, 'Oh, Chris was going to win. How could this have happened?' It kind of made me feel pretty shitty, to be honest. It definitely didn’t make me feel good. But you know and then the next week I kind of fired back, and I’m still here." Katharine Discusses Criticism That She Is Too Confident.
