Friendly Little Comptetion: Week 7

Ok, so, we've had to alter the friendly little game just a wee little bit. We all predicted a bottom three for this week . . . however, the Idol Machine decided to only provide us with a bottom two . . . therefore, the fact that ALL of us got at least one of the Bottom Three wrong will be somewhat forgiven . . .

A reminder of last week's standings:

1. Rubbertoe: 14 Points
1. Josh: 14 Points
3. Allison: 13 Points
3. L: 13 Points
5. K: 12 Points
6. TtownIdolFan: 10 Points

Our predictions:

Rubbertoe: (One of the Bottom two correct)
Josh: (One of the Bottom two correct)
Allison: (One of the Bottom two correct)
L: (Two of the bottom two correct)
K: (One of the bottom two correct)
TtownIdolFan: (One of the Bottom two correct)

None of us got the blasphemous elimination correct . . . UGH!
None of us got the pre-top 12 pick correct . . . UGH!

New Standings:

1. Rubbertoe: 15 points
1. Josh: 15 points
1. L: 15 points (New Tie For Number 1)
4. Allison: 14 points
5. K: 13 points
6. TtownIdolFan: 11 points

Congratulations to L! For being the big winner this week! Hooray!

I gotta go now and find some Neil Diamond 45's . . .

DAMN YOU RUBBERTOE . . . I think he has an unfair advantage for actually being in the "Mosh Pit" . . . At this point, Rubbertoe should throw his head back and laugh raucously!

Update: So, the rubbertoe pointed out that I made a mistake in his favor for the competition . . . very big of the Rubbertoe . . . I guess y'all can tell that we have been watching this shizz for a hot minute . . . scores are close . . . we are pretty good at this game . . . I just wish that one of the six of us could have figured out a way to keep The Comeback Kid for one more week and send the Syesha on to the next step in her career . . . UGH!

Josh is out . . . and off to sleepytime! :)

L&K weigh in on the Top 8

Hey y'all! We have not had a chance to read the recaps or the lists for this week in-depth - just briefly glanced at them for now, but can't wait to dig into them later this afternoon :) One thing, I think I saw - we all have some different takes on the performances and the bottom 3.

1. Jason
2. Aussie Mike
3. David A.
4. Kristy Lee
5. David Cook
6. Carly
7. Brooke
8. Syesha

America's Bottom 3: David Cook, Carly, Syesha
Syesha goes home

And now, L's List:

1. Jason C. - beautiful!
2. Aussie Mike - yay! he went for the big notes :)
3. Kristy Lee - total package tonight, song, look, voice and no weird, squinty, eye thing
4. David A. - nice piano, and I LOVE Robbie - but thought he kind of phoned it in at the end of the song
5. David C. - what's up here? But still better than the rest of the girls....
6. Carly - looked better, but no on song, and she yells/screeches too much for me
7. Brooke - kind of lackluster, very nervous? should have played piano
8. Syesha - yuck!

America's bottom 3: Carly, Syesha, Aussie Mike(due to placement in the singing)
Syesha goes home

Top 9 predictions. Which Idol Will Leave the Building?

Hey, y'all!

First off, a big shout out to our brother in idol, Rubbertoe for going to the Idol taping, that rocks! Also, he gets a shout out for the scream to The Cuteness from the mosh pit . . . little does he know there was another guy in work clothes in Alabama doing the exact same thing . . .


Anyhoo, here are me final rankings and predictions. Explanations provided in the live blog.

1. Michael Johns - I'm still slightly quivering . . .
(space)
2. Lil David - Back in the game!
(space)
3. Rocker David - He was great . . . palpatations and all!
4. Carly - Thought she brought it . . . but think she's in a spot of trouble.
5. The Cuteness - Nice job and good energy. I thought he was charming.
6. Brooke - Thought her rendition of Jolene was folksy and fun :)
7. Syesha - Would have been much higher on the list if she had done Dolly throughout
8. KLC - Second week with a very solid performance. Looked really pretty.
(Massive space the size of D.Cook's fivehead)
9. Ramiele - Not horrible, but clearly outclassed by the other eight.

America's Bottom 3: Carly, Ramiele, KLC
Eliminated: Ramiele

If they place them in three groups of three based on voting...
Top three vote getters: Lil David, Rocker David, Michael Johns
Middle Three: Brooke, The Cuteness, Syesha
Bottom Three: Carly, Ramiele, KLC

Top 10! Who Gets Da Boot?

Ok y'all, so I am serving up a bitter taste of idol tonight. I AM NOT HAPPY. How could my DVR betray me like this. I am so good to him. UGH! So, as I sit here watching All My Children from earlier today - yes, I watch the soaps, and it may very soon be incorporated into a new blog - I check online to see the results. Acutally, to be honest, my DVR, for some reason, recorded the last 2 minutes of Idol . . . so, I know who has been eliminated.

First things first . . . Let's do a review of the scores for the friendly competition, and our picks for the bottom 3.

Rubbertoe = 4 Picks for the Bottom 3: Chekezie, Ramiele, Jason. Eliminated: Chekezie
Allison = 4 Picks for the Bottom 3: Ramiele, KLC, Chekezie. Eliminated: Ramiele
Josh = 4 Picks for the Bottom 3: Chekezie, Ramiele, KLC. Eliminated: Chekezie
K = 3 Picks for the Bottom 3: Ramiele, Syesha, Chekezie. Eliminated: Ramiele
L = 3 Picks for the Bottom 3: Ramiele, Syesha, Chekezie. Eliminated: Ramiele
Ttownidolfan = 1 Picks for the Bottom 3: Ramiele, Jason, Chekezie: Eliminated: Ramiele

And the results . . . From the reviews I've read - UGH ON DVR - we see the stools and the sofa again. Chekezie is the first to the stools. A bunch of safe folks follow. Next to the stools, Syesha - Again, UGH DVR - is American serious, did they hear what I heard?! Finally, Jason-freakin-Castro! Um, did I read correctly, Ramiele is safe?!?! WHO IS VOTING FOR THIS GIRL? Funny enough, KLC has been the girl that everyone thought should leave, but suddenly, Ramiele is the one who seems to be the odd girl out . . . funny how that works. Anyway, The Cuteness is safe! Hooray!
So now, apparently, it is between Syesha and Chekezie . . . neither of which actually deserve to be in the bottom 2 . . . and . . . Syesha is . . . SAFE! Mr. Ezie has to hit the trail. I predicted that America would send him home, but it is kind of bittersweet. I'm glad I picked correctly, but I don't think that he deserved to go. DAMN YOU RAMIELE! Below, I provide an updated score sheet. Allison will update the scores tomorrow, because I'm sure I will get the point distribution wrong :)

1. Rubbertoe - Score: 7 (2 of Bottom 3 correct and elimination)
2. Josh - Score: 6 (1 of Bottom 3 correct and elimination)
3. Allison - Score 5: (1 of Bottom 3 correct)
3. K - Score 5: (2 of Bottom 3 correct)
3. L - Score 5: (2 of Bottom 3 correct)
6. TtownIdolfan - Score 3 (2 of Bottom 3 correct)

Again, Allison will alter these scores tomorrow based on her information . . . however, for right now, Rubbertoe is in first kickin it West Coast Style! :)

P.S. Can I just shout out a little "TeeHee" that Ms. KLC was actually SAFE! I know I didn't pick it, but I was very happy. It's weird how some of these people get under my skin, but I have kind of grown to heart her... Not in the same way I HEART JASON CASTRO . . . but, in a I just love her spunk kind of way . . .

Holla at an Idol fan!

Friendly Competition: Week 2

So, we here at A Little Taste of Idol are a wretched 0 for 2 when picking the eliminated performer. None of us picked DHern or Amanda to head to the house in their respective weeks. We have been a wee bit more successful when it comes to the Bottom Three. So, without further ado, here are this weeks scores.

Allison = 2 (KLC & Amanda)
Josh = 2 (KLC & Amanda)
Kevin = 1 (KLC)
Lisa = 1 (KLC)
Rubbertoe = 1 (KLC)
TtownIdolfan = 1 (KLC)

Overall standings for the first two weeks:

Allison = 4
Josh = 4
Kevin = 3
Lisa = 3
Rubbertoe = 1**
TtownIdolfan = 1**

** Offer up your week one shizz, and we shall reward you accordingly :)

Bloggers friendly little competition . . . Round 2

Alright y'all,

Last week, we began a friendly little game amongst the bloggers which involved our bottom 3 picks and picks for elimination. Hey, Ttownidolfan and Rubbertoe, y'all are invited to tell us your picks from last week and we'll catch you up. We trust ya!

From last week . . .

Josh 2
Allison 2
Lisa 2
Kevin 2

Not very exciting as we all got 2 of the bottom 3 correct . . . but none of us picked DHern to go home.

This week, here are our picks

Josh: Btm 3 - (Gasp)Aussie Mike, Amanda, and Kristy Lee. Eliminated: Kristy Lee
Allison: Btm 3 - Kristy Lee, Ramiele, Amanda. Eliminated: Kristy Lee
K: (Gasp) Aussie Mike, Syesha, and Kristy Lee. Eliminated: Kristy Lee
L: (Gasp) Aussie Mike, Kristy Lee and Syesha. Eliminated: Syesha
Rubbertoe: Kristy Lee, Ramiele, Chekezie Ezie. Eliminated: Kristy Lee
Ttownidolfan: Brooke, Kristy Lee, (Gasp) Aussie Mike Eliminated: Kristy Lee

We'll know who comes out on top . . . er, um. . . on bottom in approximately 50 minutes.

Oh, BTW, remember that this elimination is particularly important as ONLY the top 10 are allowed to go on the Idol Tour. . . and, I'm trying to investigate this further, I read a rumor that the top 10 who go on the tour are paid approximately $100,000 for their efforts . . . so, this will be a very lucrative night for one member of the bottom two and a costly one for the other. Here we go . . .

Top 11 Week/Bottom Three Predictions

Whoo! It's rough to be in the Top 11. Idols were no where as good as last week as a group, but Little David did make a remarkable recovery from last week. A wee bit bitter that Syesha somehow wrangled her way into the "Yesterday." (I agree with Simon, Brooke should have had that song.) So here is my ranking of last night's Beetles love fest:

1. Little David -- back in a big way
2. Carly -- this girl can sing
3. David Cook -- something about this boy just does it for me. I know he looks smug, but ...
4. Jason Castro -- beautiful guy and a beautiful performance
5. Brooke -- bad song choice; she took some ill-advised risk, but can still sing
6. Syesha -- pretty voice, but lacks the "it" factor Simon sometimes discusses
7. Chikeze -- Although he got lukewarm reviews, I kinda liked his performance.
8. Amanda -- completely forgettable
9. Ramiele -- Probably pretty telling that when we made it through the first 9 singers, I couldn't remember who was left to sing. And is a hat necessary?
10. Kristy Lee Cook
11. Aussie Mike -- what a complete mess that was. Good looks will keep him singing another week.

My predictions for bottom 3: KLC, Ramiele, and Amanda
Going home: KLC I want her to stay but I think she is headed home

Friendly Competition Update -- Top 12 Week Results

Well, no one in our little group managed to pick David H. to go home last night so everyone is tied up after the 1st week!

Lisa -- 2 points
Kevin -- 2 points
Josh -- 2 points
Allison -- 2 points

Clearly we are all a little rusty from last year!

Top 12/Bottom 3 Predictions

Lisa's Bottom three: Ramiele, Hernandez, Syesha
Going home: Syesha
From my big list: I thought (wrong!) Chikezie would be going home

Kevin's Bottom three: Ramiele, Hernandez, Syesha
Going home: Syesha
From Kev's big list: Chikezie to go home

Josh's Bottom three: Syesha, Ramiele, and David Hernandez
Going Home: Ramiele

Allison's Bottom three: Ramiele, Syesha, David Hernadez
Going home: Ramiele
For the record my original pick (which will be wrong tonight) to go home was Amanda.

Do you agree/disagree with our predictions?

Rules of the Competition

Lisa and Kevin are on board so here are the rules:

Each week after performance night, each participant will list their picks for the bottom 3 and the person who will go home. One point is awarded for each correct name. Bonus point for the right pick from our original top 12 rankings. Each blog member should post their picks and we will tally up the score after the results show tonight. You can play along with us in the comments if you are interested! Posts/comments must be done by start of the show EDT.

Game on!
Allison
