Tag: American Idol (Page 1 of 5)

We’re down to the final two on Idol. Thanks to my diligent wife, here are the almost final standings for our Fantasy Idol pool:

Jen – 8
Pat – 11
Sue – 11
Jason – 14
Jaime – 14
Kathy – 15
Tracy – 15

Idol just hasn’t been as good for me this year, and may actually be my last year watching it. It might be partly because we’ve been so busy with things at church and home that I just haven’t gotten into it as much this year…

Here are the standings after four weeks of eliminations, as calculated by Jaime:

Jen – 4 pts (still the one to beat!)
Pat – 5 pts
Sue – 6 pts
Jaime – 6 pts
Kathy – 7 pts
Jason – 7 pts

One of these years, I’m going to win my own game on my own blog. Right now, it’s not looking promising.

Before the results come out tomorrow, I wanted to clarify that we’ll be assigning position #9 to the first person knocked off tomorrow and position #8 to the second.

So, despite the fact that I haven’t blogged in like forever, people have been asking if I’m doing a Fantasy Idol game this year… Sure, why not.

Here’s how it will work this year:

• You’ll pick the finishing order for the top 10. You have until 8pm on March 31 to set your picks.
• You’ll get 1 point for every spot you’re off. In other words, if you choose Katie Stevens to finish 8th and she finishes 10th, you’d get 2 points.
• The lowest point total at the end wins.

As you know you’re picks, leave them in the comments here.

It’s been several days since the American Idol finale.  The little I saw was good, though the bikini girl/Kara piece looked to be a ratings grab.  In the end, I’m glad Kris won.  Adam was unique, but I think Kris sells more records than Adam, but Adam will deliver a much better live show.

Here are the final results for our Fantasy Idol pool:

Kat	60
Lisa Criste	54
Suzer Steege	53
Addie’s Auntie Jen	50
Kristina Beras	50
Phyllis	49
Caroline Criste	46
Kathy	46
Tracy Bramwell	45
Jaime	45
Zach Attack	44
Kelsey	43
Jason Christ	39
Mark Bramwell	38

Thankfully, I did not finish in last place.  Kat is the winner of the pool this year, giving all six of her points to Adam.  Despite his loss, Kat was able to hold off Lisa for the win.  Congrats to everyone who beat me.  Big thanks to Mark for taking last place and saving me the embarrassment of losing my own game.

It’s been a long, strange season for us watching Idol.  I haven’t been as into it this year, which is odd.  I thought the show was pretty good this evening, but I was expecting more from Kris. 

I’ll stand by my Twitter prediction, however, and choose Kris to win it all.  He should get more of Danny’s voters than Adam, and sometimes a weak performance can influence the fans to actually vote.  We’ll see what happens tomorrow evening!

We’ll also crown our winner in Fantasy Idol tomorrow evening.  Don’t miss it!

I thought it was a pretty good show this evening.  Kris Allen is growing on me and could pull off an upset along the way.  I’m not sure he can win it all, but maybe.

I keep wanting to like Alison more, but every week she’s just ok for me.  I expect her to be in the bottom three.  Matt should be there also and either Kris or Danny.  I have to go with Kris, but don’t be surprised if it’s Danny.

Matt will go home.
