It's only a matter of time before they start smacking each other with the chairs. I believe they know going into the show that Casey is the lowest vote getter. I believe they know they're going to bring him back next week anyway. I believe they know they're going to take all remaining contestants on the tour. All that's left is to light the lights, roll the cameras, and play out this pre-determined scenario - with the "surprise ending". I'm not buying it.

Not being a big fan of mowtown and hearing my favs were not that great (James, Scotty, Casey and Hayley), I was able to skip it this week and watch the really cool Kick Ass instead last night. thanks guys!

Originally Posted By RoadTrip On thing that really surprised me is that dialidol.com has predicted Casey to be among the lowest vote-getters all season long. Dialidol uses a computerized dialer that records the number of busy signals received. It has been very accurate, properly predicting the winner of every season it has been around. Who has been consistently at or near the top this season? Scotty. I think Casey has a fan base among older viewers (and obviously, the judges), but the teens who do most of the voting want no part of him. Even with the save I doubt he will be around much longer.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 We zapped through most of the early shows. I was browsing through a TV Guide yesterday and read that Lauren is 16 (maybe it was 17?) What the heck?

I got a kick out of Ryan mentioning that George Huff is a back up singer for Jennifer Hudson. Go Jennifer! Hate her new song though. The English Major in me just cringes when I hear "where you at"......... Pretty vocals though. Maybe if I imagine she is singing "where are you?" I'm rambling now......... Is the tour going to be the top 11 now?

Enough with the outsider image - if he really wants to win, it's time to work on his appearance a bit. He's got the musical chops to do it - just not the image.

Originally Posted By Labuda I just can't believe how crazy the judges were about the final performance. Oy! Anyhow, the ones I think are most in danger of going home: Thia, Stefano, and Haley
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I agree with Thia and Stefano, but would Naima in the group rather than Haley.
