So, dialidol.com is based mostly on computer dialers, vs. actual phone dialers and cell phone users, which means their stats are probably not accurate, IMO.

Exactly, it can give some evidence about where the votes are going but its a VERY small block of data and cant be relied on.

They claim to have an 88% accuracy. I don't know if that is true or not. I do know that last week, for both the women and men, thetwo that went home for each, both came out of the bottom 4 of dial idol's stats.

That's why I wanted to check their stats for the 20 and 24 weeks, to see if that was true for them as well. But, as I posted, they now have a disclaimer up saying that their numbers from last night are not accurate and thus not valid. The ability to check the past two weeks is disabled.
