Well, much like Scott, I stepped out on a limb and predicted Kris to be out last night. Yet another reminder I have no idea what I’m talking about. The last few eliminations have been quite uncontroversial. It seems like with the judges save in play, the shocking eliminations aren’t coming. Our pool poll was correct in picking Scott to go. Didn't he sound WAY better last night when singing for his life? I can't believe the judges were really considering using the save on him, though.
I am now just 2 for 6 picking the eliminated contestant, but was 2 for 3 on my bottom 3, moving me to 11 for 16 on the season.
Last night was great news for Kris fans. It proved that he does have a legitimate following and will likely make the top 5, if not higher.
On the pool…
Jessica Fracker continues to hold a one point lead over Carol Cooper. Some idiot has moved his way into a four-way tie for third with Kathy Hunter, Isabel DeVera and Jen Davies.
At this point of the competition, even though I sit in third place, I am not feeling too great about my chances. My hope is riding on the pool I filled out for Presley, which now sits in a tie for seventh place. Why, you ask? Well, take a look at how I rank the current top 7 and you’ll see that my pick of Danny beating Lil in the finale doesn’t look quite as hopeful or realistic as Allison beating Adam in the finale.
The top 7 as I see them:
7. Anoop – nice run so far, but I think he only has a week or two left in him
6. Lil – Unless she makes a major turnaround, her appearance last night in the bottom 3 will become habit.
5. Matt – The judges like him more than Lil right now. Although with all the dead weight now gone, he’s one cheesy performance away from going home.
4. Kris – Great following. In terms of votes, he’s probably in the top three right now.
3. Allison – With Lil continuing to slip, she becomes the only legitimate female contender. If Simon would start getting off her case and America woke up, she would have a shot at winning. Heck, Syesha Mercado finished 3rd last year.
2. Danny – The judges and America love him. Could be vulnerable if Allison picks it up.
1. Adam – By far the favorite right now. Something still tells me there will be a Top 5 shocker with him and the judges won’t have a save. I hope that doesn’t happen. I want to see him perform until the end.
Enjoy the standings and next week's performances!
Pool Boy out!

I can't believe that I hadn't watched a single show and am currently in a money spot. WHA??
ReplyDeleteI know I won't stay there but will revel in it while I can.
Oh and Danny to me is like nails down a chalk board. Boo!
But I also picked Kris to be my American Idol. Fat Chance of me winning this year. :)
I have to say that although the Blog this year is probably a better venue for this idol chatter, it's certainly not as convenient as just replying ALL to emails in years past. It was also more fun to read everyone's 2 cents more quickly and throw out my own. But once again my own 2 cents apparently really doesn't count since I'm currently in 77th place and can never seem to get it right. Next year I'll put in 3 entries...1 - how I think it should go, 2 - how I think America will vote, and 3 - a random pick. I would have better luck with the latter I think. Any comments I could make about the remaining contestants would be rhetorical, so all I can say is at least there isn't an super annoying Sanjaya or Jason this year. Over and out.
ReplyDeleteFinally! I was nervous when the judges were thinking about saving Scott.
ReplyDeleteI've only gotten 1 right pick so far. I don't understand why I'm ranked so high. I know I won't be up there long either, but it's nice to be mentioned almost weekly :)
Anyways, I'm not an Adam fan, and I dodn't even have him in my top 3. But after his last performance, I think he'll be top 2. He's a really good performer. I can see him as the next American Idol :(
