My Top 7 recap is up. Thanks for posting all your re-caps in the thread. I love reading them!
Due to last week’s shocking, SHOCKING boot of Michael Johns *sob*, there aren’t many winners in Top 8 pool.
Here are the Top 3 for this week:
1 monina79
2 Shabbychic
3 bugsy
And the Top 3 overall:
1 bugsy
2 maracaibo
2 WSULeifJ
Congrats and good luck tonight! Remember, first prize is an iTunes gift card!
Don’t forget, Elliott Yamin will be performing on tonight’s results show. Mariah Carey will also be on hand to serenade her “lambs” with her new single “Touch My Body”.
The question for this week is, which girl will be eliminated tonight? Kristy Lee Cook, once again exceeded expectations with her performance of “Forever”. She’s got the country vote, and that vote is mighty. Syesha Mercado also had a pretty good performance and her own voting block. I think she’s safe for this week.
Elimination is between Brooke White and Carly Smithson. Both had lackluster performances. Brooke may have earned a little sympathy with her story about missing her sister’s wedding. I also think her apparent vulnerability may have garnered her some sympathy votes as well.
Carly, on the other hand, was #2 in the performance order–the death spot–and followed the favored David Archuleta. Simon is still panning her, and unfortunately, she is still not connecting with the audience.
If I were covering all my bases, I’d split my votes between Carly and Brooke. But since that’s not how I’ve been rolling lately, all my votes are going to Carly Smithson for elimination tonight.

Kirsten, that’s a freaking great idea. :::big applause:::
Kirsten, I like your idea too!!!
OK so I can’t see the bottom 3 being any other than Syesha, Carly, and Brooke. Out of those 3, I have no clue who’s going home.
They won’t make Kristy pick the safe group because she’s too boring, or David A. because he’s, well, David A. I don’t think they’ll do that to David C. after the obviously emotional time he had last night. Which leaves Jason. He’ll probably just stand there and look confused. (Don’t hate, Jason is my favorite.)
I <3 Kirsten!!!
that was perfection.
Yay Elliott! Any word on what song he’s performing?
I am so bad at this Idol pool. Everytime I pick someone who I am sure is going to go, they are safe and the one I didn’t put ANY points on goes. So now I’m using reverse psychology or whatever to get rid of Carly. I DIDN’T put any points on her and put all my points on someone else. So, if things go as they have, CARLY WILL GO. I won’t get any points, but my mission will have been accomplished!!
Hope you’re right Judy. I have all my points on “the Irish Girl”. I sucked last week (as did a bunch of peeps). and have done poorly several times to the point that I thought about “trying” to come in dead last just for fun.
Okay, I made my last change to my pool points. LOL. I put 10 on Carly and 5 on both Syesha and Brooke. At least I should get some points.
I’m so bad at this!!!!
LAST week I totally forgot to put my votes in! I’m so programmed and I usually make my picks at around 8….
Well, last THURSDAY the show was on at 8 and I completely spaced it and just thought it was going to be on at 9.
So yeah, no points for me!
This week I’ve split between Carly and Brooke. While I think Syesha didn’t put out a good performance, I do think she’s got enough support behind her to keep her safe another week. I think she’s alright.
I’m putting slightly more on Carly than Brooke however.
YAY for Elliott, however! :)
I think Brooke will be the one to leave.
David A has the teeny bopper vote cornered
David C has the rocker dude vote cornered
Carly has the rocker chick vote cornered
Kristy has the country vote and the votes from votefortheworst.com
Jason has the Hawaiian, unique, different vote cornered
Syesha has the Black vote cornered
So Brooke, I pick you, you are sweet and have a special voice but baby you need to go home and get some rest before you have a nervous breakdown
Geeez Kirsten….did you FAX over your idea? Looks like it’s playing out the way you said to a degree.
YAY ELLIOTT!
