DialIdol cracks me up. If you check their predictions for last week, they showed all six of the contestants in a statistical tie, then they predicted that all six of them had the possibility of being anywhere from 1st place to 6th place. Then they declared 100% accuracy when Lazaro got the boot. Their raw numbers did show Lazaro had the second highest number of votes in that 6-way statistical tie.
This week they show all five of the contestants in a statistical tie, with the prediction that all five of them will end up somewhere between 1st and 5th place. They do show Janelle in 5th place in that 5-way statistical tie.
They’ve gotten worse every year since they don’t/can’t measure text messaging. But, I think Janelle will be going home tonight anyway. That’s my predition anyway.
Sometimes they are right on and sometimes way off.
Measuring busy signals I think is a legitimate predictor but it seems like they
only do it for the first hour after the show airs on the east coast and don’t
take the other time zones in their predictions.
And you're right :)
