After Ryan Seacrest, 50, announced American Idol’s Top 10 during Monday night’s show, the camera immediately panned to the contestants, who appeared noticeably stunned by the elimination.

The show did not include the judges’ reactions to Filo being sent home, but an insider present in the studio confirmed to The U.S. Sun that Carrie, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie were “furious.”

“When Filo got sent home, the entire studio was in absolute shock. It was by far the loudest gasp and by far the most stunned and upset the judges looked.

“All three were clearly upset by the results but Carrie appeared the most struck by it. Oh, she was not happy.

“She seemed really angry and also sad about it. She had a ‘WTF’ facial expression and was stunned speechless for several seconds.

“She just kind of lingered and looked forward and didn’t speak for several seconds as Filo said his goodbyes.

“Then her, Luke and Lionel whispered to each other very seriously. It was clear none of the three judges expected Filo to go home.

“And none of the three judges were happy about saying goodbye to someone who should’ve been a finalist,” the source said.

On Monday’s episode, Filo was joined by contestants Che and Breanna Nix as Ryan informed them that only one would make it into the Top 10.

When the longtime host read Breanna’s name, she immediately ran away with excitement as Che and Filo hugged on stage in disappointment.

According to the insider, as soon as it was revealed Filo’s time on the show was done, the entire studio began to chant his name.

“The crowd was chanting ‘Filo, Filo, Filo!’ for a minute or two even when cameras stopped rolling.

“No one else got that kind of reaction except Filo. He took it really well but others didn’t.

“Everyone was really upset he got sent home over Breanna, who many feel didn’t deserve to go through over Filo,” they claimed.

Fans appeared just as angry, if not even more so, about Filo’s elimination and expressed their rage online after the results aired.

“Robbed!! You definitely deserved to be in the top 10!!! Amazing amazing voice,” one person wrote with a sad face emoji.

“How the HELL did Filo go home over anyone else?! He is the most talented this season,” another said.
