You can view the picks everyone made here.
I wanted to share some other details I didn’t put in my previous post. First, we have 81 people in the pool. That’s a huge payout for first place, so I hope you picked wisely. Second, apparently we think there will be 78,112,740 votes for the Finale show. Any lastly, here’s our order of finish (Finish, Idol, Pool Average):
1 Lil Rounds 3.16
2 Danny Gokey 3.66
3 Adam Lambert 3.91
4 Alexis Grace 4.69
5 Allison Iraheta 4.9
6 Scott MacIntyre 7.41
7 Matt Giraud 7.78
8 Jorge Nunez 8
9 Anoop Desai 8.03
10 Megan Corkrey 8.54
11 Kris Allen 9.66
12 Jasmine Murray 9.74
13 Michael Sarver 11.36
Don’t forget to cast your vote in the poll in the previous post.
**UPDATE** I just watched Adam’s performance. He’s going to win. I think it’s a foregone conclusion. Fucking Paula is already crying. Damn. Jorge let me down.
**UPDATE TO THE UPDATE** It’s been brought to my attention that I should clarify something. Each week I will post an updated Pick sheet with the most recent points totals and standings, so it will be very easy to follow where you stand. Also, on the right side of the site, I’m going to add a Top 5 / Bottom 5 section that will be updated as well.

Don’t hate the pool, hate the show

Scoring Review: (actual finish – your rank) squared. So, when Jorge get’s voted off tomorrow, and i had him ranked 1, I’ll get 144 points (13th place actual finish – i had him first) squared = 144. Lowest points wins.

What is with the Schneider’s (thank goodness you are the smart one Amy!) and Jorge as #1!!!!

glad you’re doing it this year, Arleen. Now you can commiserate with the rest of us. And whats with Simon changing the rules?
March 11, 2009 at 7:58 am |
First of all, Lee, I totally agree with you…Adam is soooo going to win! Where was my head at? Second, Marcia, I fear for you, and 3rd, Arlene, I can’t believe who you picked for 1st place…….!

Glad to have some comment action on the blog. keep it coming everyone!

thought adam had a ton of talent, but was one dimensional & might burn out with the audience, but then again, i’m a virgin idol watcher- 1st time! what do i know? i based my pics on the stupid video perfomances on
the idol website.

Due to Idol’s history of kicking off the chick with a colored-streak in her hair in the first week, I picked Alexis to go first, apparently she’s really good. Oops.
March 11, 2009 at 8:13 am |
and surprisingly hot. didn’t see that one coming
March 11, 2009 at 8:36 am |
Alexis is wayyy good, tho, maybe a little over the top last nite…where have you guys been? Lee, I think you may have to start screening the people next year before you let them join…….
March 11, 2009 at 9:15 pm |
be careful what you wish for elaine- lol
March 12, 2009 at 12:34 pm |
I hear ya!! you’d think I was an Idol guru!, not!
March 11, 2009 at 9:03 am |
I don’t think Adam is going to win because people with tattoos (why i didn’t pick megan) or “scandals” never win. Anyone see the pictures of Adam making out with guys at Burning Man on wwtdd.com Not long before there are more and the producers either make him go or middle america overwhelmingly takes over the vote. He’s also gonna get cocky in the middle, I can feel it. Oh, and the blind thing is gonna get old fast with Scott. Same with Danny’s dead wife, although I did put him in 2nd place. The pity thing can get old fast, people.
(PS I am not PC)

I agree Jorge disappointed but he has a whole island voting for him!! And, he and Allison get to split the Latino vote. I think Jasmine and Anoop are gone tonight…only other two possibilities I see are Scott (not Danny, Lee!) or Jorge.
Lee: Any chance we can download everyone’s results in XLS instead of PDF? I would love to play some games with the data. Yes, I am a data-head! 🙂
Thanks!!!!

BTW, Dahlia & I didn’t like Adam last night and I hated his performance. I thought he made Black or White (a song with a happy message) into an angry song and he was just showboating w/o the song. But Dahlia called it right: She said they might think it was brilliant despite our distaste for it. She was right!!!

Also…I like Anoop and enjoyed his performance, but despite that don’t forget about the good ol’ sanjaya days–anoop isn’t going anywhere yet: Southeast Asian vote.
March 11, 2009 at 3:51 pm |
Interesting fact……Jasmine & Scott are the only ones that NO ONE picked to win. Everyone else has at least one 1st place vote.

Ok… i’m a nurse and have plenty of sympathy for the handicapped, however all Scott is going to leave with is a couple coins in his hat! He’s got a terrible voice and we should not be enablers. I say Scott goes.
