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

[Jiggymike]

So Phil stinks up the joint all year and stays around, then sings two great back to back performances and gets the boot? You've served us well America.

[Aloysius]

haha - well Phil certainly picked an appropriate final Idol song!

Edit - I can't believe he's gone, someone pinch me, am I dreamingz!?

Oh I misunderstood. I thought all 3 guys were in the bottom 3. I realize we don't know the 3rd from the bottom.

Lakisha safe? Did Granny rig the whole thing so Lakisha could pick up more votes last night?

That was exactly what I was thinking, followed by "Lakisha is the new Phil." Oh kiki, why won't you go away?

I've always thought the whole vote-splitting thing was given a little bit too much weight in rationale behind eliminations, but it just seems like this should be a real windfall for blake.

It's harder than it looks. I'm starting to get nervous with my Blake LL Lakisha and Jordin LL Lakisha bets. Congrats on the nice call. Right before the show the odds on L+C to go home were -750. P+C were +380.

what happened is that many idol newbies here felt that dialidol was the gospel.

it has been a horrible indicator this year vs. last year, and i blame this on its own success.

the reason LaKisha is still standing is the reason that her voting base is also the highest consumers of bluetooth type technologies.

dialidol is a semi-farce under this scenario.

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

[/ QUOTE ]

if jordin flops again, i say she is done next week.

the slate is clean. first bad performance by anyone = bye bye
