***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

OK everyone, I know you have all written off Lakisha. Well I am still dreaming that she will survive. I know it's a long shot. Hey I'm a dreamer, and I think I'm the only one.
Anyway I am on the west coast so I will be looking to this thread for blow by blow updates. Thanks in advance!!!

According to MJ's Blog, Nigel Lythgoe has given his weekly interview saying, "I’m not that shocked tonight, and I don’t think our viewers will be shocked tonight."

Translation? Unless he's putting up smokescreen (unlikely, since this kind of comment can hurt ratings), this means Melinda/Jordin/Blake are safe. Two of the Chris/LaKisha/Phil trio will be headed home.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

all I can say is good luck vegan. personally, I expect lakisha to leave tonight despite her performance last night, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about who was leaving.

I didn't think this deserved its own thread, but FOX.com's description of tonight's show reads:

On a TV Guide type website, I would expect a mistaken description like this, but on FOX's website? This makes me think that they didn't originally plan on not booting anyone last week and then booting 2 this week. Not sure why they would have this screwed up.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

I think what they did last week was outrageous! Making people(not me) sit through 2 hours and then not eliminate anyone. What an unethical joke!! It definitely gave Jordin buy week and it doomed either Lakisha, or Phil because I think Chris was gone last week anyway. It changed the natural order of things and just wasn't right.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

there are rumors that the lines were so conjested that they couldnt get completely accurate vote counts, plus Chris and Lakisha were so close they couldnt fairly elliminate one over the other.

Thinking about that It would have actually been more fair to just flip a coin so whoever gets lucky has hope of surviving this week, as it stands they are both going home now.

Top row: Chris is seated last
Bottom row: Lakisha is seated last

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

That was awkward.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

Thanks 4Tay I appreciate the update.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

Vegan, portfolio update? How's it looking over there?

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

ugh how horrible is having to run a clip-reel from last week's elimination show

I am all over Lakisha. Many shares, many straight bets.
I also am loaded on Jordin vs Blake but it pales in comparison to my Lakisha position.

How about you?

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

I actually like my Blake LL than Jordin at +330.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

Melinda, and a few Blake. I'm kinda light though. Not life-changing.

If Alan Thicke's kid was a contestant, he wouldn't have even made it to Hollywood.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

is it just me or does melinda look stoned or something? she seemed catatonic on the bench

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

Wow

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

You're safe, Vegan.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

Phil was robbed.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

so I'm guessing 3 girls and blake is the most likely top 4, unless jordin really feels last night's performance or blake flukes out

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

What happens to the Chris LL than Phil if they both go? No action I assume?

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

Lakisha is safe? Is that true????

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

I hope he throws down the mic at the end of the song.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

It looks like Lakisha saved herself last night, at any rate. Well, this is kind of annoying.

Re: ***The Official Top 6 to 4 Elimination Thread***
 

Specifically what happened?

With Lakisha still in the running, do we have to sweat out Jordin's survival next week?

I'd have to say yes. I'm not sure how demographics break down for voting for the two, but if jordin is half as bad as she was last night and lakisha is at least almost as good, I think jordin would be in big trouble

I doubt it. I have a feeling she'll be pimped very hard next week.

So who gets the lion's share of Phil's votes now? I think most have a pretty identifiable base, but I really can't figure Phil's or how it might now roll up to the others.
