What was the line before the final show on Diana? IMO I wouldve made it around 10 or 20 to 1. And that's once she actually got to the final. Does anyone know, I wasn't gambling on it at that time.

I think there is money to be made on Phil Stacey. I see him as a a good candidate to make the top 5. If he does this his sell price will be no less than 10 to 12.

i honestly think he has no chance of top 10

Do you feel like it was too high on Diana?

I'd give him some chance at top 10, but no real chance to do anything special.

So who are the guys who you actually believe have a chance at winning? Only Blake and Sligh?

On the boys side, only Blake, Sundance and Chris Richardson have a chance. Sundance desperately needs lessons and some good advice though.

Sligh looks really sweet doing the slow love songs and can score with ballads, but he can't do the fast stuff. He looked like an alternative rock college band singer Tuesday, and that is not real popular to the mass audience.

Phil Stacey's decent cover band material, but nothing special.

Honestly I don't believe anyone but Lakisha or Melinda will win. I'd say the combined chance of them winning is around 75-85% I could be overestimating a little bit, but I simply think they outclass everyone else by too large a margin, especially the boys.

I only watched (I still don't gamble, I'm just fascinated by the odds), but that was a strange year. Kimberly Locke was voted off too early, and then Latoya, while John Stevens hung around too long and later Jasmine and Diana, and nobody knew just what America was capable of next. That probably got Fantasia more votes in the Final, of course.

And also the Clay-Ruben final the year before was weird, and nobody was sure that the voting was fair. Thanks to the analysis here and having 5 previous seasons, it's probably easier now to justify statements saying someone has "no chance" than it was before.

Wait, why am I aiding your case? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You must have Kim Locke confused with someone else. She finished 3rd to Clay and Ruben.

Edit: You're probably thinking of Jennifer Hudson.
