We might well experience some shockers tonight folks. Brace yourself.

There is a website called DIALIDOL.COM that tries to predict the chances of an Idol contestant being eliminated based on the frequency of business of their numbers as scanned by computers.

On the girls side, Dial Idol is predicting that Kinnick and Lisa (Yes I said Lisa NOT Melissa) will be the next to go.

I've always said that Simon sometimes does more harm than good by his constant pimping for and against a contestant. He did Latoya a lot of harm by telling Jasmine she was going to leave. I'll be darned of the folks from Hawaii and Daly City didn't dial their fingers off voting for Jasmine and killing off Latoya's chances of winning ( and for me, Latoya WAS the best singer in season 3. BETTER THAN FANTASIA ).

This year, it's happening again with Simon telling Meliisa to get an airplane ticket home and then pimping for Kellie ( to the point of saying he prefered her over Carrie Underwood ). Unfortunately, the victim here MIGHT BE Lisa Tucker. The powers that be wanted Melissa to go. What they will be getting instead would be the other Lisa.

On the guy’s side, Dial Idol is predicting that Will and Gedeon will be leaving us.

I am a bit surprised here because I thought Gedeon did very well last night--- MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN EITHER BUCKY or KEVIN.

Someone in this thread said that an abused puppy will be defended and that's exactly what Kevin is now perceived as -- an abused puppy. KEVIN GOT THE MOST BUSY SIGNALS LAST NIGHT.

Here are the Dial Idol stats :

I hope that dialidol.com is wrong in it's predictions, cuz that would suck if Tucker got sent home.

By the way, how do they know about the busy signals and how many someone gets? How can they figure that, realistically?

And do you suppose Vote For The Worst has anything to do with who has the higher votes? Kevin? Jeesh...this show IS rigged...stupid reality shows...
