Who's going home?

Great job on getting your picks in with your 9-1 ratings. I don't know about you, but I had a really hard time picking who was going where on my list. We'll see how it turns out.

Now, after tonight's show, please submit your usual picks of the bottom three (25 pts each) and who you think is going home (50 pts.) Good luck!

Now it gets interesting

Goodbye, Michael Sarver. Thanks for trying!

We've got a four-way tie at the top right now, with four others only 25 points behind. Time to break it up a little, and really get this competition going.

Now, before next Tuesday, please order the remaining contestants 9-1. Remember, #9 is your choice for the next American Idol, and #1 is the contestant you think will go home next.

Each week, starting next week, you receive the number of points of your contestant ranking, times the number of week. Let's do it!

See my example if you need some help getting started.

Who is going home?

Okay, let me hear it. Predict the bottom three and who you think is going home. Big points are awaiting your guess!

Resurrecting the AIFL

I know, my priorities have been mixed up. I chose to place more importance on taking 20 people to Peru than keeping the AIFL updated. I have since repented, and will once again pledge my whole heart to the AIFL.

Here's where we go from here, if you're still in. By next Tuesday, March 31, you need to rate the 9 remaining contestants, and order them from 9 to 1, with number 9 being your pick for the next American Idol, and number 1 the person you think will go home the soonest. Every week your contestants stay on the show, they will get the number of points you gave them on their rating, times the number of week it is, with the week of March 31 being week one. (Example: My #7 choice stays on through week one, he earns me 7 points. In week 2, he earns me 14 points. Week three, he earns me 21 points, etc.)

So, you have a week to get your ratings in. Here's where things really get interesting! If my instructions are confusing, check back in a couple of days to see my picks as an example of what to do.

We will also continue to predict who is going home every week, starting with this week's show. So tune in and be ready to predict who's going home! Thanks for your patience, and let the game continue . . .

What TWO are going home?

So the top 13 is upon us, and a major change is coming in the competition (our competition, that is). I'm not quite ready to reveal it yet, so we'll focus on tonight's show. We'll get to our AIFL change when we get back from Peru next week.

Since AI decided to go with a top 13 instead of 12, they are kicking two people off tonight. So, watch the show tonight, and simply guess the bottom three (if they do a bottom three) and which two contestants will be kicked off during tomorrow night's show.

Points awarded:

For each correctly guessed bottom three contestant: 25 points
Guess who's going home: 50 points each.

So you can get up to 175 points if you guess right. Submit your guesses before Wednesday night's results show. Good luck!

Wild Happenings

So what do you think about the wildcard choices for tomorrow night's show? I, for one, cannot believe that Mr. Norman Gentle was not selected as a wildcard participant,


while good ol' Tatiana was selected. Oh well . . .


I'm not sure how the selection process is going to go after tomorrow night's show, so stay tuned to see what we'll do next.

As for the AIFL, our new leader is Jaron M. He is just ahead of Brandon D. and Josh B. Well done, and I'll catch up soon!

Group 3

An interesting night on AI tonight . . . So who's going through to the top 12? Let me know who you pick by Wednesday night. Good luck!

Week 3 Bonus Competition

Have you noticed that the judges have been changing their seating order from night to night or week to week? So, the bonus competition is:

Guess the order that the judges will sit in on Tuesday night, from left to right. Please submit your guess before the beginning of the show on Tuesday night. Good luck!
