Chris Tungseth and Braden Rumfelt were the two artists eliminated in the May 4 episode of American Idol, but they were in great spirits afterwards while talking to Danielle Fishel on the official American Idol podcast. The guys, who became best friends after meeting during Hollywood Week, admitted that getting sent home on the same night made the situation a lot easier.

“If it was me by myself, I know I’d be more upset than I am right now,” Braden shared. “Obviously, I’d still be like, ‘Thank god for this opportunity,’ but I was talking to [Chris] before we got eliminated and I was like, ‘Dude, you and I came a long way.'”
