AMERICAN IDOL NEXT EVICTION BETTING ODDS:ACE YOUNG
Sixteen-year-old Lisa Tucker was the latest contestant voted off American Idol leaving nine left to fight it out to be crowned the winner on May 24.
Surviving elimination were Katharine McPhee and Ace Young, who had the next-lowest vote tallies. Despite falling into the bottom three, McPhee is still considered a strong contender by the bookmakers.
The 21 year old is infact 3/1 outright second favourite to Chris Daughtry who continues to shorten in the betting - bet365 offer the best price of 11/10 on the rocker. Taylor Hicks, recommended by this website at the final 24 stage holds onto his position as third favourite.
Next week Bucky Covington is again favourite for elimination, although his price this time is 5/4 as opposed to his odds on quote last time. Following his bottom three appearance, Ace is 6/4 to be next out. Elliot Yamin is the only other singer given a single digit price to be evicted.
