I vote they hire Harry Connick Jr. to replace Simon. It's one of the few ways I'll be convinced to watch next season.

Points!

Jaime - 28 points
Moryssa - 25 points
stardiver - 25 points
Janine - 24 points

This week is movie week, with a whole shitload of really awful songs on the potential playlist. But I'm going to put my money on Lee singing "Eye of the Tiger". And maybe Mike doing "I Will Always Love You", since there's no girl left who will bring the Whitney.

Anyway! For week 12 (air dates 5/11, 5/12), comment below with:

Quickly, before I leave town!

Point totals:

Jaime - 25 points
Stardiver - 23 points
Moryssa - 22 points
Janine - 19 points

Okay, everyone's favorite whipping boy is gone. Who're you gonna pick now? :) Theme is ... Shania Twain songs? Janine and I would like to vote for Lee singing "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under", just for sheer LOLs. :D For week 10 (air dates 4/27, 4/28), comment with:

It's an easy scoring week - nobody got any points, because apparently people who vote for AI are really, really weird.

So, two eliminations this week! I don't know how it's going to work, so I'm making it up as I go along. Point totals this week are as follows:

Pick both eliminated contestants correctly: 10 points
Pick one eliminated contestant correctly: 5 points

I suspect they'll announce the eliminations in two separate pairs, but I'm not sure. So, let's also guess two contestants that will be in a danger pair and survive - if that's the way it works, we'll award the below points, but if it isn't, we'll just ignore this second point category. Make sense? So, aside from the above:

Pick both "safe" contestants: 4 points
Pick one "safe" contestant: 2 points

Okay. New rules out of the way. For week 8 (air dates 4/13, 4/14), comment here with:

Also, just FYI, I'll be offline all next week, back on Sunday. I'll update the points and post the next picks then!

R&B week. Perhaps this time people will manage to pick good songs? We can always hope.

The theme is Teen Idols ... maybe? The internet is not entirely in agreement. But, if it is Teen Idols, then it's going to be an interesting weeks..

Don't forget! You have until tomorrow night to make this week's picks for the bottom two. Also, tomorrow is the last day you can change/enter your top 5!

We're back to just shooting in the dark with these weekly picks, aren't we?

Well, that was interesting, wasn't it?

Everyone gets a point for Todrick this week; only one person managed 2 points. :) So, the to-date standings are as follows:

Tommygirl - 6 points
stardiver - 5 points
Janine - 4 points
Moryssa - 2 points
Jaime - 1 point

... and now, the real competition starts! From now on, you pick who you think will be the two singers - and you must designate which one will be kicked off and which will be safe. Points are:

Accurately pick the contestant kicked off: 5 points
Accurately pick safe contestant from bottom 2: 2 points
Pick either bottom 2 contestant in the wrong spot: 1 point

I'll put up next week's post in a few minutes. But, this would also be the time to change your top 5 picks if you want! After next Monday, picks are locked for good.

... if you'll excuse me, I have to go figure out what the heck to do with my own picks.

Okay, folks, it's the last week of four eliminations! Who's going to miss the top 12 by thismuch? Make your picks for week 3 (broadcast dates 3/9, 3/10, 3/11) now!
