**American Idol The Top 3

[EricW]

I hate McFat.

She has absolutely no personality and I almost feel sorry for her during her public appearances. Taylor had tens of thousands of adoring fans but pretty much no one showed up to her showings.

As well, her family seems pretty damn well off judging by their home. Since I dislike her so much, I'm just going to ignorantly assume that she's a rich spoiled bitch.

She's also pretty big. Like tall AND big.

Yes, and the amazing part is that there are just as many options for what to do in Birmingham Alabama on a weekday morning as there are in LA. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

That's close.

That's B.S. There's NO WAY it was that close. This is illustrating something I've said for three years now -- once we're down to the final 4, the voting is nothing more than a stress test of the telephone system's trunk lines. Every possible vote that could have been cast, was cast.

It's why Ruben beat Clay.

It's possibly why Chris went home.

It's definitely why Taylor damn near went home tonight... and why next week it is nothing more than a coin flip to see who can randomly get more phone calls on two sets of phone numbers with identical capacity.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Once this show is down to the final 4, it needs two things:

1) MUCH longer voting periods. Sing on Tuesday. 48 hours to vote.
2) Voting limits -- one vote per telephone number.

It is that close in total votes, but always is and always will be. Its completely dependent on the percentage of times that there is busy signals. Basically, it makes the numbers look a lot closer than they really are, even though one idol may be getting a much higher percentage of voters attempting to vote for them. This is probably never going to let someone win who has less people trying to vote for them (as you imply with ruben and chris), but it will just make the final vote tallies look closer. Taylor is way ahead right now and these numbers really don't change that thought. Think about how every year AI says something about how the last two are only seperated by a few 100k votes. Its just because of the way the voting process skews the numbers (but not the outcome).

Right. You can have Skeletor Barton and Iggy Pop Lohan. I'll take a woman with curves and something to hold on to, thanks.

They filmed a coin toss after the show, and Taylor won it. He chose to go second next week.

For anyone looking to cover all/part of their Taylor bets, WSEX fixed-odds (not the market) futures currently has Kat 2-1 (equiv of 33.3 market price).
