are they not doing that this year? I know they usually start talking about it like in week one and i don't remember hearing it mentioned this season.

The two times they've done it, it's been during the week with six people left. I suspect that they're not doing it this year.

Here's what Wikipedia says.

Idol Gives Back will not be held in 2009 due to the ongoing economic crisis and recession. The executive producer released a statement saying that now is not the time to be asking for money from the American public.
