OK, all you IDOLators, it's time for a little contest..give you all something to do until next week..and also..see if indeed there is any truth to the many conspiracy theories floating about as to the AI producers manipulating the show...

We know the final 36..and we know the first group of 12..but what we DON'T know is who's in the second and third groups..So...go for it..see if you can correctly place them.

First prize..actually, the ONLY prize..is my very valuable Carmen Rasmussen CD. That's right, I'll actually send it to you if you can CORRECTLY get both groups right.

Seriously...assuming the judges are trying to make things as fair as possible (which in itself is a questionable assumption) one should be able to pick out the top 10 strongest singers in the remaining 24, and thus be able to place 2 guys and 2 girls in each group. If that doesn't turn out to be the case..then the judges are definitely messing with the show.
