Zabasearch gets their numbers from Cingular.

Truly? I didn't know that.

So those are precentages based on texting.

Pie Charts?

(I have not seen any pie charts on Zabasearch)

I guess we will just have to wait a few more hours to see who goes home. Zabasearch IMO is more accurate than DI.

I am not buying into the DI totals due to the software upgrade that many people could not download in time.

Sure would think so, wouldn't you? Interesting that they both have the same results, exactly.

No is based on both texting and call in's (votes). (scroll back to the chart)
It clearly says that on the chart. DI only deals with dial in's based on busy signal/non-busy signals percentages and that is if everyone had upgrade to the current DI software before it was time to use the software last night. If you did not upgrade the DI software in time, the old DI version would not work for last night's busy/non-busy percentages.

Zabasearch has changed their chart to reflect exactly what Dial Idol says.

Zabasearch did not change their chart. (btw - that is not a pie chart.)

add up the totals on the Zabasearch chart and listen to the Ryan give the totals at the beginning of the show.

Is that for certain that AI allows them to release that data? Cingular is reporting huge upticks in revenues from this show so they have a good reason to play ball with AI.

Zabasearch has not changed their chart... since I posted it just a while a go. The chart on Zabasearch is the final counts they have. That is why I held off on posting it until the final chart was up.

The spreads on the votes look a lot more realistic. I don't offer an opinion on who's votes are in which column as the DI grouping for all 4 people is rather close.

I didn't say that was a pie chart. I clicked on the AI link at the bottom of their page Zabasearch and got this graph chart.

It doesn't look like the one you posted. ??

Ok, maybe its my computer, anyone else get the same graph that reflects Dial Idol's results?

I'm afraid to click on the link.

Nah, don't be afraid. It's OK. Besides, you can click on home to go back to the main Elvis website, which is cool.

Refresh your page, the old version of the chart is probably still in your cache and that's what you're seeing.
