PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"VFTW pick tracker." |
With Tim out at last, the Worsters were finally forced to do something they haven't resorted to for months: commission a new caricature. And they've already decided just who they're going to back. Crystal may be giving them the open acknowledgment, but there's only one contestant with Laser Eyes Of Death -- so say farewell to the Urban Legend and welcome Siobhan Magnus to the racks of the Worsted. She presumably has a rambling thank-you speech to fit the occasion. I don't think this choice makes any difference in the long run, but I don't think any pick would. Crystal has too much of the voting population to realistically overcome: at this point, the only way to beat her is for her own numbers to stay stable while one opposing singer picks up every last other vote. Siobhan might be able to reach F3 -- but with Casey sinking fast, one of the major obstacles to that position is just about out of the way no matter what the Worsters do. The backing won't hurt Siobhan -- but it won't help her win either. And the same will apply to anyone else VFTW picks. They can add an extra table scrap to a meager plate -- but they can't pull the cloth out from under the predetermined main course. Even so, let them dream for a while... 
And there's always a chance Crystal quits.

Heh -- but no: I'm looking for the commissioned hand-drawn art. It'll show up at the top of the page when it arrives -- probably before the end of the day.

VFTW has jumped the shark. Because Aaron is definitely the worst that's still there. Timmeh gave them too much of a good run and they're addicted to claiming someone that can last a while.

I think "eccentric" is a key reason they picked Siobhan!

11. "RE: VFTW pick tracker." |
Well part of it is the edit, not just the technical skill.Aaron--Always is told he is good even when he is terrible. The you didn't do good this time, but people should vote for you anyway is not a worster pick edit. Michael--Usually gets a you really are good edit, got saved Casey--gets tongue bathed for everything and things he does that other people do, are AOK even if other people should not always hide behind the guitar, and so on. Lee--Always seems gets good comments no matter what he does. They say we should keep him even if he has no confidence and any bit of progress however faint in that direction is praised like a major breakthrough. Crystal--gets licked cleaned every week. Siobhan--got praise early on but now all she gets is we don't know who you are, why are you doing this, she's the one thrown under the bus most regularly, lately. By the top 6 it is rare you have anyone that hasn't at some point been pimped. By now they've gotten rid of most of early fodder and you have TCO (or TCT-the chosen two or the chosen three) and the mid level fodder. Usually that means some previous lurved constestant stop being slurped on every episode and they rev up the bus half way during the performance (that has to be distracting no wonder some people eventually start tanking). So getting tossed under the bus is one sign of a worst pick (as there always has to be a worst, as there always is a best, just the scale changes like in school, even if the college only takes people from the top 10% out of that group someone now becomes the bottom 10%) Talking back to the judges is one thing the worsters love to choose people for and Sio bhan ... does ... do ... that ... in ... a ... slow way ... but ... it ... still ... counts ... as ... sass. Doesn't seem to be much of anyone else willing to rock the boat. Add in you never know when she's going to wear another homage to Fern Gully....

18. "RE: New Pick" |
I think the reasoning is Mike is the only one that occasionally does entertaining things (and is great photochop material) and a lot of the fans of other idols are peeved Mike got the save (rather than it being held onto to save their fav) and so every week he stays the more in a tizzy those people get.Crystal (VFTW shout out on Facebook not withstanding) is way too pimped, even with the right on schedule minor depimp she got. Casey also is way too pimped and I think they want to see Kara's face when he leaves. Aaron is generally considered the worst singer but too boring to be the pick until there isn't another choice. Lee also seems too pimped to be the pick until it is him and Crystal left. Sometimes the entertainment is seeing the fan bases go nuts when the VFTW pick survives and crushes the dreams of whoever they are lusting after. Because you know as soon as you become the VFTW pick all your dreams are surgically removed or something so it doesn't matter if the VFTW person leaves, being voted off will have no impact on the feelings of the VFTW pick as they also had their emotions removed with their dreams. The big negative of Mike was they used the save on him, but I think now they are in you saved him when you knew he won't be commercial so now you get to chock on him reasoning.

I'm surprised they went for what seems like Simon's favorite.

27. "RE: For the finals: Lee." |
What not to sing season averages (if you check the DI thread I have the prelim numbers in my average--this is the final ave)77.2 Crystal Bowersox 59.6 Lee DeWyze Also there is these factors 1. Who's fanbase is nuttier and will be funnier when they find out. 2. Which will be funnier when they fail post season 3. Will anyone other than bland white male psuedo-rockers try out ever again since the main fan base left watching idol seems to demand one wins every single freakin' year. 4. Year of the woman, yeah right! By the final few pretty much everyone has been pimped and the chances of a final two where neither person is a judge's fav is going to be slim to none. Besides Simon is on his way out, I'm cynical enough to think he'll back the person he thinks will help clear the way for his X-factor show.

I wonder if there will be any correlation to album sales. Tim $50 Lee $45 Siobhan $75 Casey..... $212!!! Of course they're only a few days into the auction, so who knows what the final totals will be, but wow.
