New Standings

So Brian's back on top!  Nice job bro, but we're all still coming to get you!

Since Ryan said the three guys left standing on the stage were "in random order," I did not count them as the bottom three.  So I just gave everyone 50 points that put Casey in the bottom three.  Since no one chose him to go home, no one got more than 50 for that portion.  Weird.

Your top ten is still very important.  Switches and trades can still happen, and still work out for you.   

See you on Sunday night!

2 On the Stairs

So remember that the previous post said, "Which contestants will use the stairs at the back of the stage IN ANY WAY . . ." 

I thought that we were heading toward a big "0" until I saw the last duet with James and Jacob.  They started on the back stairs, and they are two different contestants, so the seven of us that guessed "2" got the 200 points.  

And guess what?  We've got a new leader!  Congrats to Wilson, let's see if you can keep it up! 

So, who's the bottom three and going home?  Let me know!

Step right up for a Bonus Contest

Happy Easter AIFL Nation!

Time for the next bonus round.  Here's the question:

How many contestants will use (in any way) the stairs behind the stage during their Wednsday night performances?  200 points if you guess the number correctly! 

Remember, there are only 6 contestants left, so don't guess more than that!  And it's okay to guess "0."

Good Luck!

Adios Stefano

So Stefano is gone, and lots of people got most, if not all, of the top 3 and going home correct.  It's really heating up, with the top 3 really close to each other.  It's going to be a great fight to the finish, just like on the show.

See you Sunday night!

I Saw the Sign

The most common sign pick was the right pick--Steven Tyler was the first sign of the night.  If you look really closely, you can see a sign for Haley next, then Jacob was honored on the third sign. 

Five people chose Steven, and one (Brian, of course) chose Haley.  So how does everyone feel to be losing to a 9-year old?  Nice job Wilson!  Keep it up!

Okay, who's going the bottom three and going home?  Let me know!

New Bonus Contest: What's Your Sign?

This week's bonus contest is all about the fun signs that are made by the studio audience.  Or are they actually made by the audience themselves? One consiracy theory I have is that the signs are made by American Idol interns or something and then given to people as they show up to watch the show.  I don't know why, but some of those signs just seem a little fishy to me!  Discuss amongst yourselves . . .

Anywho, back to the contest.  As the show starts on Wednesday, pick ONE person (judge, host, or contestant) who you think will be mentioned on one of the first three signs shown on the screen.  If your choice is on the VERY FIRST sign, you get 200 points.  If your choice is on the second of third sign, you get 100 points.  If a sign is unreadable, it doesn't count as one of the three.

Good luck!

It's Getting Close

Look out, Brian!  Seth and Wilson BOTH guessed perfectly the bottom three and Paul going home.  They are both charging hard, and we've definitely got a competition on our hands.

On a personal note, I really liked Paul McDonald. I thought he was great, but you know, all the singers left are really good.  They always say, "This is the most talented group we've ever had, blah, blah, blah" but I really think it's true this year.  I feel like I'm watching a concert every time I tune in.  Anybody else thoroughly enjoying this season (even without Pia, Annette)?

Bonus contest announced Sunday night!

Who's Going?

Congrats to Sara, Seth, and Christine, who correctly guessed our interviewees.  Remember, if your choice is interviewed tomorrow night on a little silver chair, you can still get 200 points. 

Now tell me your bottom three and who you think is going home.  It's getting really tough to pick! Good luck . . .

We're back!

The cruise was awesome, but now it's time to get back to business.  First of all, Pia?  Really?  C'mon America!

It's time for our next bonus competition.  This competition was conceived by Amy.  Her question for you is:  Which contestant (if any) will be interviewed by Ryan Seacrest on a little silver chair? 

You can pick any one contestant, or choose NONE as an option.  This contest goes through Wednesday and Thursday night's show.  So pick your one contestant, or none, and let me know who you think it will be.  If you guess right, you get 200 points!
