"Dial Idol predictions" |
Not sure how many voters really use this for DWTS so no idea how accurate these will end up being. Early in the season usually is much worse than later in the season. I'm also putting up the Judges scores as Dial Idol did them, then using the scores and the dial idol ranking I did a combination to see who might be most at riskJudges Score Brooke and Derek 23 Lance and Lacey 22 Toni and Alec 22 Misty and Maksim 21 Warren and Kym 21 Kim and Mark 19 Maurice and Cheryl 18 Cody and Julianne 18 Ted and Inna 18 Cloris and Corky 16 Susan and Tony 15 Rocco and Karina 14 Jeff and Edyta 12 Dial Idol Score (Percent busy) Warren and Kym 28.52 (19.23) Misty and Maksim 22.14 (23.53) Susan and Tony 21.85 (21.88) Cody and Julianne 21.14 (12.82) Brooke and Derek 19.14 (15.62) Lance and Lacey 16.47 (9.09) Maurice and Cheyl 15.32 (5.26) Ted and Inna 12.1 (6.06) Cloris and Corky 11.93 (8.01) Toni and Alec 9.21 (0) Rocco and Karina 9.1 (8.57) Kim and Mark 7.95 (0) Jeff and Edyta 5.02 (0) So from the combination calculation I did (I think the judges scores is % of the total scores given out) I did something similar to the dial idol so they are also percentages of the total to more mimic percentage of total vote, although I got the same cut offs with using it straight up. So the combo score had an average of 7.06 and a standard deviation of 1.87 So I used those stats to divide into high medium and low risk. Low risk Warren and Kym Misty and Maksim Medium risk Brooke and Derek (just barely below the cut off) Cody and Julianne Susan and Tony Lance and Lacey Maurice and Cheryl Ted and Inna Cloris and Corky Toni and Alec Kim and Mark
High Risk Rocco and Karina Jeff and Edyta (they are a lot lower than anyone so I'm predicting they go home)  Duckies by Smokey's Mom

4. "Second Night of Dance, Week One" |
I'm guessing there wasn't as many people voting this second night in a week, ending at 11 pm doesn't help much with that and I don't know if there is the excitement factor like you would have from the season premiere.Dial Idol Scores (DWTS version, not the regular score) Couple Score (Percent Busy) Maurice and Cheryl 108.3 --very odd numbers this time-- (6.25) Brooke and Derek 10.28 (2.88) Toni and Alec 9.09 (2.17) Cody and Julianne 9.09 (0) Susan and Ton 8.7 (0) Warren and Kym 8.7 (0) Misty an Maksim 8.3 (0) Lance and Lacey 8.3 (0) Rocco and Karina 8.3 (0) Ted and Inna 7.51 (0) Kim and Mark 7.11 (0) Cloris and Corky 6.32 (0) Judges Score Brooke and Derek 26 Toni and Alec 23 Cody and Julianne 23 Susan and Tony 22 Warren and Kym 22 Lance and Lacey 21 Rocco and Karina 21 Maurice and Cheryl 21 Misty and Maksim 21 Ted and Inna 19 Kim and Mark 18 Cloris and Corky 16 Since the one Dial Idol was weird I just doubled the highest other score to give them the "vote" side of the equation. Adding the percentages (so perecent of total score for DI (vote) and Judges) and taking the mean and this time standard error (16.7% +/- 1.1%)as that one wonky score really screws up the standard deviation I get the following prediction. Low risk Above average + error Maurice and Cheryl Brooke and Derek Medium risk Cody and Julianne Toni and Alec Susan and Tony Warren and Kym Lance and Lacey Misty and Maksim Rocco and Karina High risk of leaving average - error Ted and Inna Kim and Mark Cloris and Corky

6. "RE: Second Night of Dance, Week One" |
I hope the judges don't score based only on what the votes from the week/night before were.DWTS they do a combination of judges and popular vote, that is why I used both for the prediction. If the judges just scored based on what they thought people would vote for there wouldn't be much point. It is obvious sometimes what the judges score well and what is popular with America are two very different things. BTW. Dial Idol is a computer based dialing program. It is pretty much like hitting the redial button but letting the computer do it. It isn't a power dialer. They do collect the data from the computers voting using that system and use data like the % busy signals to guesstimate what the vote is. When it gets down to just a few people left and there is a lot of voting they can do pretty well at guessing who is likely to be going home/winning. For shows like American Idol where a lot of people use it the results are a lot better. Good old sampling theory. Sample a bigger part of the population you get closer to the reality of the whole group than if you only sample a few people. By looking at busy signals they get some idea of what people not using the system are voting for. They don't assume the people using the system are voting the way America does. We never can know the real totals, since no one ever publishes them, but I assume they could be subject to audit so I think they really do count them. Some things like Dial Idol at least give us a bit of an insight into what might be happening. It isn't completely accurate, but it does seem to do a good job a fair amount of the time.

8. "RE: Second Night of Dance, Week One" |
*dons conspiracy theory hat*There have been people that got good judges scores that have left unexpectedly. Either they really had poor vote totals or it was "shocking elimination time" in the story arc. If they just eliminate people willy-nilly it would be a bit early for someone at or near the top of the leader board to get voted out. Especially when there are so many early boot targets. Usually the "we thought they would win it all the first show" boot happens about mid season. Usually the ones with high scores are popular enough to keep around for a few weeks. After all the shocking elimination isn't that shocking if we aren't even attached to any of the stars, yet. */hat* The % of the judges vote method used now I does thing helps to insulate those that may need a few weeks to build a fan base but dance very well. They used to do a rank based method which I think happened to keep a few really bad dancers around way longer than the producers wanted and exposed the better dancers they wanted to shield from elimination too much. If you rank order them the person that is last place is only one number away from the next to last person. When you use the % of the judge score totals giving someone a much lower total than everyone else makes it a lot harder for the votes to save them. That being said people with pretty decent scores have gone home. It isn't always the one with the lowest judges score. I'm thinking of Sabrina *checks wiki* now her scores the week she left weren't as stellar as they were most weeks, but she was pretty much in the middle of the pack that week. Fan favorites often last several weeks of being at the bottom of the judges scores.

It will probably be Toni leaving. But I would rather Susan go home.

I find it interesting that both 21s are "safe", while both 22s are at the highest risk........

18. "Semi-Final Predictions" |
Dial Idol Scores79.47 Lance and Lacey 48.34 Warren and Kym 38.97 Brooke and Derek 36.21 Cody and Julianne Judges Scores 57 Lance and Lacey 49 Warren and Kym 49 Brooke and Derek 46 Cody and Julianne Combined Percentage Predictions (average +/- standard deviation of the combined score)
Low Risk of Going Home 0.68 Lance and Lacey Medium/High Risk of Going Home 0.48 Warren and Kym 0.44 Brooke and Derek 0.41 Cody and Julianne Lance and Lacey really peaked at the right time. They got high scores when no one else did, and the underdogs finally make it story line seems to have really driven the Dial Idol Prediction and given them a really wide margin over all. They pulled the average up so high they are the only ones above that line. If the Dial Idol Busy signal is right I think the question is going to be how much Lance/Lacey pulled from Brooke/Derek or Cody/Julianne's fan bases.
