and/or other polling data.

Dial Idol seems to be used less and less as more people have computers without modems or use other ways to vote, and early on can have a lot of issues with not nearly enough data, but sometimes it gives a feel for who the front runners are vs the also rans.

So I'll post those and any other polls people can find put the data here.

Thanks Snidget -- I always enjoy seeing the Dial Idol projections. I'm not surprised to see Margaret at the bottom, but I'm very surprised about the Hoff not getting more of the popular vote. Maybe they should have let the Germans vote too? .

Yikes, I didn't realize the Situation is so popular! All of NJ must have voted.

Just as well that the Situation was popular -- at least with the Dial Idol voters. I wouldn't have sent him home this week -- I'd have sent Margaret home. I'm a little surprised that David Hasselhoff didn't get more of the popular vote, but he was one of the worst ones.

Looks like Hound Dog will be Michael Bolton's death knell...

I just watched last night's episode and cringed when I saw Michael Bolton's performance. Can't believe Chelsie made him crawl out of a dog house! I feel so sorry for him but he does deserve to go.

I'm surprised by how many votes Margaret Cho gets -- didn't realize she's so popular.

Yep, Chelsie fails yet another partner.

Yep. It would have been fun to see what Cheryl Burke could have done with him.

Yeah, it looks like it. I saw the score -- a 5, a 4, & a 3! Yikes!

Thanks Snidget! So I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but does this mean there's a possibility that the Situation could go home tonight, or at least be in the bottom 2? I'd rather see Margaret stay vs. him!

It is hard to tell who is the going home, but yeah the situation and even Florence could be at risk as they didn't get much in the way of any busy signals in the DI (so there DWTS DI score is only from judges).

Of those three it seems that the situation may be most at risk as not many dial idol people voted for him (so total votes rather than just looking at busy signals)

I think Margaret got both the VFTW type of votes and may have gotten some "screw you judges" votes and may get some "I like her political statement" votes. I think most of the didn't like what she said probably wouldn't be voting for her anyway.

But the question is how much the DI voters mirror America, as they didn't vote much for Bristol, but she got a lot of busies out of the few calls made on her line.

Sweetie and I were the "political statement" votes for Margaret.

Bummer, wish Margaret made it through!

Thanks Snidget. I'm really hoping the polling data is correct and the Situation finally goes tonight.

After that Argentine tango, I can sure see the Situation walking the plank. And that nickname reminds me of a song from the musical Oliver!:

"I'm reviewing the situation,
And I think I'd better think it out again."

In this case, I'm reviewing the Situation and I think in this case, we'd really better think it out again -- at least when it comes to having him on the show any longer!

Wow, it should be interesting to see who's in the bottom 2 tonight. I'm surprised that Audrina doesn't pull more of the popular vote.

Sure hope Bristol goes because she's clearly the worst at this point, then Florence.

Well, this is the time of year that the 'surprise boot' can occur... and Brandy and Audrina are low enough to be eligible for it...

Interesting. I could see either Audrina & Tony, Kurt & Anna or Kyle & Lacey get the boot.

I guess Bristol is safe? She did do a lot better yesterday.

At SocialBox, users love cheering for their favorite stars while watching shows. By analyzing what they have to say while seeing Dancing with the Stars, we found out that we can predict who’s going out in each week’s results show.

While they are starting to get enough people using it to get busy percentages for everyone, hopefully this is wrong as only a few states had data.

I think we may be stuck with Bristol until the end. What is it about the Palins that prevents them from ever going away?

So, who does this say is going home? I am confused. Please oh please oh PLEASE say Bristol. And then let it come to fruition tonight.

Hard to say, the DI stats are close enough it could be anyone going home.

Bristol has a good percentage of busies from the people voting for her using dial idol and a good percentage of the DI voters, both tend to point to more likely to be safe.

Kurt and Bristol probably got more of the "save them despite the judge's score" votes so I'd think Kyle is more likely to be the one going home.

There is some indication either Brandy or Jennifer could be a shocking elimination, but DI has so few votes cast it is really hard to know how much you can generalize their data.

To me Bristol is a million times worse than Marie Osmond. At least Marie was a good performer, so I didn't mind it as much when she was carried to the finals by the popular vote. (Although the doll dance was a debacle.) But it will be hard to take if any of the other 4 get booted because of Bristol.

The judges should score her more accurately (7s) so that the popular vote is not as much of a factor. No way she should be getting 8s when Brandi and Jennifer are getting 9s.

I'm actually most worried about Kyle since he's been in the bottom 2 a couple times. I thought he did fabulous last night from the little clips I've seen so far and I'd love to see him in the finals.

P.S. I'm tired of Jennifer's whining so if she's a surprise vote I could live with it.

Thanks for doing all this work, Snidget!

LOL -- I'm tired of Jennifer's whining too, so even though she is clearly the best dancer (she is practically a pro, IMO), I would be AOK with her going too!
Plus, I think the whining is a bunch of bs to try to make people think she isn't a shoe in for the finals. Whatever. I vote for Kyle -- I had't heard of him before the show, but think he is just adorable, plus he isn't a ringer (like Jennifer or Nicole Scherzinger last year) and I've always like the ones who really don't have dance experience & improve each week, as oppossed to the ringers.

Hope it's not Brandy who is the shocking elimination. I'd like to see Bristol go home -- I don't hate her, but she is the weakest one left.

I agree with both of you -- Kyle and Brandy are my top 2 faves. I do think Kyle is adorable! And I don't hate Bristol either, but it just seems unfair that she's still around.

P.S. Yes, the Jennifer drama is probably to make us think she's not a shoo-in. But it's really turned me off to her.
