taylor i am putting my trust in you that you wont cheat...you are already in the lead!

evs have you figured out the blogging world yet?

Week 3 Leader Board

ok so here is last weeks board. sorry...little late. nice job natalie with the only correct guess!

jamie and evan- i know you told me who you voted for at mcnellies on wed. but cannot remember who so i think i just guessed. doesnt matter though since none of us there guessed lacey.

by the way...when the eff is tim going home? i cant believe he has made it this far.

Top 12

welp we are down to the top 12. whose going home? more importantly...which 2 will we we not have to sit and watch in the tour this summer?

remember this week ONLY 1 Person is going home! so no more safety net, you either get a point or you dont.

good luck!

eeek. i think we can all agree that last week could have gone better. lots of surprises. pass burton the kleenex because her boy alex went home. (i firmly believe his mullet was the nail in the coffin. i mean look at tim urban. somewhat similar look in the face, but tim is a way worse singer, yet somehow still here. why? no mullet.)

dreams were shattered for 4 of us when our predicted winners were eliminated. and not one of us guessed more than one person going home right. looks like we were all pretty much in the same boat this week.

not lookin too shabby taylor! and after seeing your predicted winner crystal perform tonight, it looks like you may have this game in the bag if you keep this up.

for the rest of us...no worries! its still anyones game. :)

Week 2 Picks

Time to make this weeks picks! Who will it be? Comment on this blog post with your picks by 6pm Thursday, March 11!

Week 1 Leader Board

Good job to everyone last week! Especially nice work Taylor and Evan, predicting all 4 losers correctly! Way to start strong.

Everyone's picks were pretty even across the board. No surprises really. We had a few randos sneak in like Lilly Scott from Em and Paige and Todrick from Allison and Jamie. Not too far off though because I think all 3 of those are in danger this week.

The predicted winners are fun to look at. Lots of differences in these. No more than 2 people picked the same person to win so things could get very interesting!

It wont take me so long to put up results in future weeks. I am currently working on an improved way to orchestrate this that will make posting your picks easier on everyone. Should be up and running by spring break.

Keep up the good work!

Predicted Winner

Hey so I almost forgot the best part about this whole thing! (Thanks Taylor for reminding me)

Use this blog post to pick who you think is gonna win it all in the end. Not sure how we did this last time but I think you got 15 points if you correctly picked the overall winner at this stage. Then we can pick again once we hit the top 10, and that person gets 10 points if they are correct. Does that sound like a good amount of points?? I'm open to suggestions.

For your pick to be eligible it needs to be made by 6pm tomorrow (Thursday)!!

Good Luck!

Ok guys so Idol Madness is now ready to begin! Here's how it works...

Each week before the show I will post a contestant board like the one above. After you watch the show, you will have until 6pm the day of the vote off show to reply with your picks.

So, this week there are two performance shows and one vote off show on Thursday at 7pm. After you have watched both Tuesday and Wednesdays shows, come here and post a comment on this weeks blog entry by 6pm on Thursday, March 4!

For example, if there had been a blog post last week, my comment would have looked like this:

Guys going home: Joe Nunez and Tyler Grady

Girls going home: Ashley Rodriguez and Janell Wheeler

Favorite for this week: Katelyn Epperly

Got it?? After I get everyones votes I will post a "bracket" with the names of all of us who are participating and our picks and points received (kinda like the one in the brothel dining room last year). This way it will be easy to see who is winning (me obviously) and who is not doing so hot (Jamie, if last year is any indication...kidding :))

Any other comments on the blog are welcome too! For instance, Joe Munoz is Jorge Nunez from last year except he speaks English. Also, Alex Lambert needs to get rid of his heinous mullet ASAP.

Let the games begin!!
