Season 10 Prediction Game

[LuvThisStuf!]

No problem, jsciv -- it's not as though you're getting paid for this. I think I speak (write) for everyone in saying we appreciate your doing this, and whenever you get to the daunting task of number-crunching is fine. Take good care of yourself, too, and get some good rest. We're not goin' anywhere...

And I know that in the past I missed voting a few weeks, so if anyone wants to jump in and vote, they're welcome (please correct me if I'm wrong). There were people like that last year and they still made it on the bus!

Hmmmm...I thought this game usually starts after the semi-final round, when the top 12/13 finalists have been announced. Hopefully we re-start from this week, then more can join and still have a chance to contend.

[RyMac]

Why should we re-start when so many people have guessed already, and it was on the boards for a bit before we started playing? Just because you forgot to guess the first time around doesn't mean y'all can't play and do well.

Week 1 Results

Here are your Top 13!

Casey Abrams
James Durbin
Stefano Langone (Wildcard)
Jacob Lusk
Scotty McCreery
Paul McDonald

Naima Adedapo (Wildcard)
Lauren Alaina
Ashton Jones (Wildcard)
Thia Megia
Haley Reinhart
Karen Rodriguez
Pia Toscano

And here are your results! As noted before 12 guesses were counted, so if you guessed a third wildcard then I only accepted two of them. Everyone guessed Casey and Paul correctly, but beyond that, there was a lot of movement in the ranks!

Have no fear if you guessed wrong here and there or even if you forgot to guess at all! Most players miss at least one week or guess really badly several times over the course of the season: our tour bus has plenty of open seats!

[brierpatch]

Thanks jsciv!

[sesame_seed]

ditto that... Thanks jsciv!

[Little Sew&Sew]

Hoping to do better this week, but . . . . . I'm not sure I'll be able to.

Dish Network isn't talking to LIN Media and LIN Media isn't talking to Dish Network.

I am currently without Fox (I'm missing House as I write this!) and without NBC. Keep your fingers crossed for some kind of resolution before Wednesday night.

[razorbacker]

I notice I am sucking diesel fumes yet again.

[RyMac]

Wow! I never got on the bus last season. Maybe b/c I forgot to guess over half the time lol.

Thanks jsciv! looking forward to playing again this week.

[Ellen]

Yikes -- I see I'm suckin' tailpipe fumes.... Oh well, it's only week one!
Thanks, jsciv!
