And the winner is . . .

AMBER! Congratulations, although I'm getting a little tired of Amber winning all of our fantasy competitions. I'm thinking of banning her, because she's just a little too good. She was the Adam Lambert of our competition. Just too talented . . .


We hope you had a great time guessing, and that our competition spiced up your AI viewing. We will see you next season.

The Final Guess

The tie was gray. Adam sang first. Jim Carrey was not in the audience--yet. How are you doing so far on your guesses? If you didn't get your guesses in, you can still guess on the number of votes and the celebrity for tomorrow night.

But, the big guess of the night is-- Who will be the next American Idol? If you guess right, 250 points will be yours. We'll add everything up and announce our winner tomorrow night after the finale.

Thanks for participating, and goooooood luck!

Last Contests!

Last chance to soar to the top. Here are the bonus competitions for Tuesday and Wednesday nights shows. Each bonus question is worth 75 points. I'm going to recycle some questions to give you a second chance if you got something wrong the first time.

1. Who will sing first Tuesday?
2. What will be the color of Seacrest's tie on Tuesday night? (or will he not wear one)?
3. How many votes will be cast, to be revealed on Wednesday night?
4. (A new one, worth 150 points) Name a celebrity not affiliated with AI that will be in the crowd either night. No former contestants or mentors.

Good luck. Don't worry about picking the winner yet. We'll do that after watching Tuesday night's show.

Goodbye, Danny

Danny was a stud, no denying that. 6 people chose correctly that he was heading home, and those people took big leaps forward in the standings. Also, they didn't mention the size of the turnouts for the hometown visits, so no one got points for that. Sorry!

It's not over. I will have a bonus competition for Tuesday AND Wednesday nights, plus huge points for picking the winner. It's still anyone's game. I will have the first bonus competition posted by sunday night, so check it out then.

Who's it gonna be?

Okay, tough choice, but you've got to pick one of the three to go home. We'll raise the stakes a little and give you 200 points for a correct guess.

Bonus competition: Hometown visits--Which of the three contestants got the highest number of people out to see them? I hope they tell us the numbers. If they don't tell us the numbers for all three, the bonus competition is off, and we'll do something else. 100 points for guessing who was the most popular in their hometown visit. Good luck!

A New Leader

Well, my turn at the top is done. Amber and Kasia have both passed me by, guessing correctly that Alison wold go home tonight AND that Paula would wear 4 blings (we glimpsed her earrings at the beginning of the show, and added them to a ring, bracelet, and necklace). Good job ladies.

So you see that anyone is only one good week away from the top spot. It will come down to the last week. Keep it up!

It's Getting Tough

OK, who's it going to be? The best four sang tonight. One of them's got to go. This is the hardest time I've had choosing who I think is going. Just choose the one you think is going. 150 points if you're right.

And now, an interesting bonus competition. We all know that Paula has her own little jewelry line, and has been trying to promote it all season. Tonight she was wearing four different pieces of jewelry. The question is, how many articles of bling will she wear tomorrow night? Each individual ring, bracelet, etc. counts as one. A pair of earrings counts as only one.

So now please leave a comment with the name of who's going home tomorrow and how many pieces of jewelry Paula will be wearing. Good luck!
