American Idol 2006--Live Thread (Part III)

DialIdol has been off the last two weeks. They had Taylor and Elliot as the top two on the week Ryan announced Chris and Kat as the top two. Last week they had Kat in the bottom two. I'm wondering how text messaging affects this?

[OldFriend]

Bo is married with a new baby. He has had serious health issues. Very scary to read about his hospitalization.

Wishing him well.

[silent_jonny]

That would make me reevaluate being a cynic. :)

:)

I'll be shocked if McPhee survives this week.

[Jrabbit]

ROFL!!!!

[Conservative Texan Mom]

Yes, but he's HOT and he can SING! Plus he's HOT!

[Samwise]

Is he OK now? I thought I saw him earlier this season.

[misterrob]

Good sign if it's busy out there

[OldFriend]

No need for you to apologyze for anyone else. We are all responsible for our own behaviour.

You start the thread and we are guests here on FR.

Some people abuse the privilege but it doesn't take away from the joy of watching the show together as one big family.

"If "Hot" was the reason to vote for someone, I'd be voting for Katharine"

Apparently its the reason for a lot of people, because her phone lines are jammed.

Mmmmmmmmmm. Phone lines, jammed...

[silent_jonny]

Is it me or is the FR clock running about 5 minutes fast?

[mathluv]

They may already be posted below, but it is 1-866-43657_ _. Taylor is01 and 05, Chris is 02 and 06, Elliott is 03 and 07, and Kat is 04 and 08.

An hour later, I have been able to get in on Taylor and Chris, harder to get in on Elliott.

[retrokitten]

Yeah, actually it is. Or are you from the future?? Hmmm....

[Samwise]

still busy

[silent_jonny]

It's just not the same sitting in bed and watching it without all the comments from you guys....

We'll take that as a compliment :)

I do hope you feel better soon, though.

[OldFriend]

If only the TV shows would date their segments........I am assuming that he is okay now and the hospitalization was in the recent past.

[Apple Blossom]

Is it possible that nice guys can finish first once in awhile?

Wouldn't that be great! He may not be very tall, but he is sure someone we can look up to!

[silent_jonny]

Is it possible that nice guys can finish first once in awhile?

I hope so :)

[Jrabbit]

ok...I've been trying for 40 min. Have yet to get through for Chris.

[TonyWpi]

I think Chris and Kat are getting the most "Text votes."

If I were betting, I'd still say Katharine is going home. That's based upon the "2 bad weeks and you're out" pattern.

Kellie and Paris had 2 bad weeks and went home. Mandisa had one bad week and went home. It seems to work with the girls.

DialIdol has been off the last two weeks

Dial Idol was correct last week in picking Paris to go, they also had Elliott listed as #2-4 and he was #4, they had Kat as #2-5 and she was likely #3. They show margin of errors. The interesting thing is that Kat's demographic votes more heavily text than some of the others, so she tends to perform at the top of her range, where Ellliot performs at the bottom of his.
