AI9: Prediction Game

[jsciv]

I wouldn't put it past the producers to drop Lee into the bottom to give him a boost, but they haven't been as "producery" this season so I'm going to guess that they leave it alone. In any case, unless Crystal is there we now HAVE to have at least one perfect guess, so I'm happy! But me, I'm going to play it a little safer:

Safe: Michael
Going Home: Casey

[I'm MEL]

If they don't even try to spice it up by making us think that Crystal or Lee is in the bottom 2, then they've ALL thrown in the towel!

Personally, I think Lee should be packing his bags after last night, but just to make sure everyone's represented in the bottom 2 here, and most likely give up my seat on the bus (if I get kicked off, I'll just thumb it to the nearest Kris Allen concert)...

Safe: Crystal
Going Home: Big Mike

Safe: Casey

Congratulations I'm MEL! Along with many other prognosticators here, I was thinking too literally about the bottom two and not taking producer antics into account. Kudos for thinking of the drama angle.

[I'm MEL]

Thanks, brierpatch! I figured they're running out of opportunities to try to make us think Crystal is in danger and try to ramp up the voting. Since this is "a year for the girls," they probably don't want any surprises! (Actually, I thought I might have been throwing my bus ticket out the window!)

Week 9 Results

This week's results, "in no particular order"...

With I'm MEL's big move, it's a race at the top, and there are only two points separating the last two spots in our Top 10 from the next four in line, so it's going to be a fight to the finish there, as well! And there are several of us knocking on the door of the Top 20, so this game is far from over!

Next week we'll be doing the same thing as far as guesses go: Safe, and Going Home. Good luck to us, and good luck to Crystal, Lee and Casey!!

Yes!! This will be much easier next week, no toying with the results, just bye bye!

[jsciv]

Yes!! This will be much easier next week, no toying with the results, just bye bye!

No toying with results? Oh, I'm sure the producers can come up with SOMETHING to draw it out an unnecessary 25 minutes....
