They did miss it tonight, but not by much, AND, they NAILED the bottom three.

Hey you're right. I need to bookmark that site and see what they say next week ...

But I still don't believe that the Gherkin is getting that many votes.

She can't be. IMO. But, the bottom end looks very accurate. Paris and Mandisa were only a single percentage point apart, well within whatever margin of error they were using.

If that was accurate, then Paris and Mandisa's votes combined were still less than Elliot, but within the Margin.

Then, they had Bucky and Ace as the next closest to the bottom three, about where we all suspect they are. There's only a single percentage between Katherine and Chris, and if the 3 groups last night were top 3, middle 3, and bottom 3, then this is about as close a prediction as I have seen from any source.

I can't believe that Kellie is getting the most votes, much less more than 2 times the 2nd place. I also have trouble believing Dial Idols numbers that show Taylor having the most votes week after week. Particularly this week when he may very well have been the worst performer.

Here's the thing about Taylor, IMO. I don't see him gaining many more fans week after week. People either love Taylor or hate Taylor. I love Taylor (but like Chris best). My wife hates Taylor. As idols are eliminated, most of their votes will probably go to idols other than Taylor in the competition, eventually leaving him the odd man out.

My top 3 at this time would be Chris, Kellie, and Katherine.

Unfortunately, I do, Jonny. I think she's got a good chance to win. As an adult woman, I'm immune to her cute look, and I think she is THE most limited of the leading contestants in the 5-yr history of AI. There are a whole bunch of non-winning women from other seasons who could sing rings around the Pickle. Diana DeGarmo, Kimberly Locke, Tamyra Gray, Nadia Turner, and Jennifer Hudson come most quickly to mind.

As for the three women who did win AI, Pickle is so far removed from them in talent that it's like Minnie Mouse trying to measure up to the young Judy Garland. (Garland has been widely named as the greatest all-around entertainer of the 20th Century, and her song 'Over The Rainbow' tops multiple lists as the greatest pop song of the last century.)

The one thing Pickler has going for her that none of the others except Taylor have is that she's entertaining. Even Taylor has lost his entertaining ability the last couple of weeks, leaving the Pickle to shine alone.
