What happens to a contestant after they e eliminated?
Shortly after the conclusion of the live results show, all of the contestants go out to dinner at a restaurant of their choosing. At that dinner, each non-eliminated contestant talks about the person who was voted off, according to MTV News. Booted contestants then spend the following day — or days — doing interviews with the media, and then they return to their old lives or start their new post-“Idol” lives.
