This is the first season to extend the use of steals in the knockout round, which was previously made available only in the Battle rounds;[3][4] and the Instant Save during live shows, allowing Twitter's tweets from the viewers (based on the airing of East Coast/Pacific time zones) to save a contestant eligible from elimination.[5] The iTunes multiplier bonus introduced on season three also returned but the multiplier was reduced to five, which was still applied till this day.[6]
Carson Daly returned to host the show, but Christina Milian did not return as the social media correspondent and Daly assumed the roles for both.[7]
