Season 11 Prediction Game

[jsciv]

Yeah, as far as I know it's all the way to 12 this week. The Thursday show is titled "Finalists Revealed" in my TV Guide, though it seems that there will be some voting and some wild cards performing for the judges.

If Ryan reveals any more details tonight or tomorrow that indicate they'll hold any results until next Tuesday I'll update the rules, but otherwise we'll stick with what we have for now.

My DVR has picked up the schedule all the way to next week & the Thursday show says 1 person eliminated. So, according to that, we do indeed get down to 12 this week.

Well, I'll be the first to make my picks I guess Are we picking 5? If I'm wrong on the number somebody please let me know!

Five Guys Through

Eben
Phillip
HeeJun
Aaron
DeAndre

I'll add my girls picks tonight or in the morning

[Gutmutter]

I'm confused: are we picking 5 of each and who we think the 3 judges will pick (which would make 13)? or just 5 of each?

I'm sure jsciv will give us the revised rules when he gets back to the FORT.

Sorry for not getting this posted before today's performance show. I was unable to get to a computer today due to some personal issues.

So, 5 guys and 5 girls by vote, then one wild card from each judge, for a grand total of thirteen contestants. So here's what we'll do. By the time the threads close tomorrow please submit in one post the following:

America's Guys (pick 5)

America's Girls (pick 5)

The Wild Cards (pick 3)

For each name you get correct you'll get one point. For each person you correctly guess the method by which they were selected, you get one more point. So for example, if you say that Colton Dixon will be a Wild Card and he is instead chosen by America, you'll get one point for him. But if you say Phillip Phillips will be chosen by America and he is, you get two points!

The max is therefore 26 points this week. Dim the lights, here we go, good luck everyone!!!

Boys:

Phillip Phillips (will win this season)
Joshua Ledet
Colton Dixon
Heejun Han
Jeremy Rosado

Girls:

Jen Hirsh
Shannon Magrane
Hollie Cavanagh
Jessica Sanchez
Skylar Laine

Judges Wilcards:

Reed Grimm (really should be voted through, but last night he didn't bring it)
Creighton Fraker
Jermaine Jones

Why would I put 8 boys through and only 5 girls? Because the girls just in general lacked something this year. The "it" or X-factor I suppose.

OK, I think I'm ready, although this stage is crazy hard to predict for me, since my tastes don't reflect the tastes of the country in general.
