CONGRATULATIONS BRIAN!

We have our first two-time AIFL champion.  Congratulations to Brian for holding on for the victory in the closest finish in the history of the AIFL.  Wilson came on strong to finish 2nd.  Nice job kid!

I'd like to thank everyone who participated this year and stuck with me through some lame bonus questions and occasional technical difficulties.  I loved this season of American Idol, and I hope we can come back and do it again next year.

By the way, I have something for each of you.  If you would like your award and do not live in my local area, please email me your mailing address.  Email me at brettgustaveson@yahoo.com

Thanks everybody!

Who is the American Idol?

You may have seen the first half on the finale tonight, and you may not have, since it was on a night early.  Whether you saw it or not, it's time to guess.  300 big points if you guess correctly.

Who is the next American Idol?

So make sure you get your vote in before tomorrow night's show.  Also, if you haven't guessed the bonus question of how many votes will come in, be sure to answer the previous post.  

Best of luck!!  This is it!

Last Bonus Question

Okay everyone, this is it!  I've got one last bonus question, and it better work out (unlike about half of the bonus questions I've done this year.) 

Seacrest announces EVERY WEEK how many votes are cast by America.  Last week I think 95 million votes came in.

So my final bonus question will be: 

How many votes will America cast for the American Idol? 

Whoever gets closest to the actual number will get 200 bonus points, then 150 for second place, and 100 for third.  This could go a long way to deciding our AIFL champion.

Remember, the first half of the finale is Tuesday night, but I don't need your answer until just before Wednesday's show.  Good luck!  

One More Week

It's a tight race for the top spot!  So few points separate the top half of our top ten . . .

So not many people saw Haley going home, but congrats to our great prognosticators Craig, Seth, and Jaron. 

The bonus question didn't work out all that well either, seeing as how Haley was the only one to mention a number of fans at her performance.  Sorry guys, dumb bonus question.  Wilson and I did guess Haley, though.  Woo hoo!

So we're almost there, and I promise a GOOD bonus question, and then you will guess next week who will win it all! 

See you Sunday night!

One last time, who's going home?

So, we'll get the results from the hometown visits on tomorrow's show, so no point changes tonight.  That means tomorrow night is going to be HUGE for points.  You can get 150 for the bonus, and 200 for correctly predicting who's done.

So, who will be sent packing tomorrow night?  Let me know!!

Hometown Bonus Question

We're almost to the end, and that means the finalists are heading home for some tears and hugs.  The question is based on the hometown visit.

Which finalist will play to the biggest crowd at their hometown visit? 

To be specific, if if a contestant plays in more than one place during their visit, we will count only the largest crowd they play in front of, not combined totals.  Also, if the size of the crowd is not mentioned, the contestant will not be eligible to win this one (because I'm not pausing the show and counting people on the screen). 

150 points for the people that guess right.  Good luck!

Almost There

Sorry for all the technical difficulties.  Hopefully Blogger has things all figured out as we get to the end.  I'm not counting any guesses for who's going home since Blogger wasn't accepting comments on Thursday.  It's not like any of you were going to pick James to go home anyway!

We're down to it, so get ready for another big points bonus contest on Sunday night!

Who's Going home?

Congrats to Sara and Seth who guessed that James would sing first.  Well done!


Okay, just like last week, 200 points if you guess who's going home tomorrow.  Let me know!

New Bonus Contest

Sorry that it took me so long to update the scores.  Technical difficulties and busy schedule combined to slow me up.

For our bonus, we're going back to a classic:  Who is going to sing first on Wednesday night's show?

You've got a one in four chance and 150 points of you guess right.  Good luck!

Who's going home??

What a show, huh?  I loved most of the performances.  DAWG, I THINK THEY IN IT TO WIN IT!

Since we're getting down to the end, we're not going to worry about a bottom three any more.  Just let me know who you think is going home, and if you guess right, you get 200 points.  Good luck!

P.S.  I will award the bonus points for guessing about whether or not the alumnus will sing AFTER tomorrow's show.  

So who's going home?

New Bonus Contest

Hey everybody!  Time for our new bonus contest!  This one is a 50/50, yes or no.  150 points if you guess right.  the question is:

Will an American Idol alumnus (contestant from any previous season) perform on Thursday night's show?

Yes or no?  Let me know! And be sure to let me know before Wednesday night's show, because they always announce it on Wednesday nights!
