Dumb question here:
Why do so many folks reference "bringing out a lighter"
every time they talk about the song "Free Bird?"

Freebird is one of those "Concert" songs. Everyone in the crowd would take out a lighter and raise it up in the air when the song was played.
It's a standard joke to mention the "lighter" when songs like that one are played.

BTW....I've found a way to figure out who's going to be voted off (and how the votes are going).
AOL (America Off Line) has a poll which appears to mirror the actual vote. (They've been pretty close with the past 4 weeks.
Here's the results:
1) Bo - 37%
2) Carrie - 25%
3) Lt. Dan - 15%
4) Vonzell - 5%
5) Anwar - 5%
6) Anthony - 5%
7) Nadia - 4%
8) Slingblade - 4%

Last week they had Scott and Nikko as the bottom 2.
The only week they were wrong was with Jessica and she was 3rd from the bottom.
