American Idol Contest- Week 9 Standings

 If I analyzed the picks correctly, the only person who has a chance to beat Libre is Liz. Although Matt is in second place, the most he can outgain Libre by is 10 points. Since Liz predicted Casey to win, she pull off the upset. Will it happen? Stay tuned!

American Idol Contest- Top 6 Results

Well, I'm now officially done. This wasn't particularly surprising though. Siobhan really squandered all the momentum she had after a great semi finals and the first performance of the top 12. When was the last time someone faded as quickly as she did? I guess you can say it was Andrew Garcia! I was a little surprised that Aaron was in the top three and not Casey, assuming the bottom three does indeed indicate the three lowest vote getters. The buzz of a Crystal vs. Lee finals will not die down since they are the only two contestants never to land in the bottom three. Both Libre and Matt have these two as the last remaining, but only Matt still has his top 4 picks in tact. I also awarded 15 points to everyone who had Crystal as the top female finisher. The only ones who did not receive these 15 points were me, Jsutine, and Konstantinas.

1. Libre Pollock- 70 points
1. Matt Pollock- 70 points
3. Sheila Pollock- 60 points
4. Ross Pollock- 45 points
5. Liz Kaplan- 40 points
5. Diana Lorenzo- 40 points

American Idol Contest- Double Elimination

Since Andrew was the first person sent home tonight, I'm going to assume he finished in 9th place, and Katie finished in 8th place. I didn't get to comment on last night's episode, but I keep thinking about how American Idol's Top 12 is like the baseball season. It's a marathon and not a sprint. The same way Blue Jays fans shouldn't get too excited after great Aprils, I shouldn't get too excited after great early performances from Siobhan Magnus. I can't believe I'm starting to like Tim Urban as much as I am. The more the show tries to sabatoge his credibility, the more I root for him. Ryan dancing with Michael Sarver during Tim's performance was distracting and rude. Thanks to the double elimination, there is plenty of movement in the contest. I wish I could change my Siobhan Magnus pick. It's nice to see the Pollocks dominating the standings!

1. Libre Pollock- 40 points
2. Matt Pollock- 35 points
3. Ross Pollock- 30 points
3. Justine Barbato- 30 points
5. Mitch Pollock- 25 points
5. Sheila Pollock- 25 points
7. Mike Podhorzer- 20 points
7. Ricarda Pollock- 20 points

7. Diana Lorenzo- 20 points
12. Christina Maffa- 10 points
13. Kathy Dragonetti- 5 points

American Idol Contest- Week 2 Standings

The only mild surprise this week was Katie in the bottom three instead of Andrew. I'm surprised he still has a big enough following to keep him in the middle of the pack.

American Idol Contest- Week 1

The biggest disappointment for me is learning they brought back the judges' save. If Paige had been the one voted off, Simon would have probably wanted to use it immediately on her. I have tow issues with that. One, she isn't worth it. Two, it would have robbed 15 points from some of us who had her going home 12th! as it turns out, I get zero points anyway since I thought Lacey would stick around for awhile. If Tim can avoid being in the bottom two after last night's performance then he might be sticking around for a lot longer than most of us thought. Here are the standings after Week 1.

1. Mike Podhorzer- 10 points
1. Diana Lorenzo - 10 points
1. Justine Barbato- 10 points
1. Libre Pollock- 10 points
5. Matt Pollock- 5 points
5. Ross Pollock- 5 points
7. Mitch Pollock- 0 points
7. Kathy Dragonetti- 0 points
7. Christina Maffa- 0 points
7. Liz Kaplan- 0 points
7. Sheila Pollock- 0 points
