Scott, this is really hard, considering we do not know how the pairings are going to go, we only have the first 8. It all depends on how the 24 are grouped up.

Anyway, this is how I think it will go:

10th place: Kimberly Caldwell (she's evil, audience won't like her. She will make it to the top ten, because judges will choose her).

9th Place: Clay Aiken (He will get enough votes to make it, due to his voice, but then competition will get very tough).

8th Place: Rickey Smith (see Clay).

7th Place: Ruben Studdard (judges will put him here, audience will take him out).

6th Place: Joshua Gracin (Marine boy's time to go, leaving J.D. all alone with all those big voiced ladies).

5th place: Julia DeMato (competition with the women gets nasty).

4th Place: Vanessa Olivarez (this year's Nikki, the difference is that this girl can actually sing).

3rd Place: J.D. Adams (the last of the males).

2nd Place: Kimberley Locke (Her HUGE voice will get her this far).

1st Place: Frenchie Davis (say hello to your American Idol).

Again, this is tough, since we don't have the groups, aside from the first one. A PTTE would be fun, and Ahtumbreez would surely appreciate it

Katem, my ears perked up at the word "game" I love PTTE's, although my fingernails are suffering from the pressure of being in first over on the Mole board and not knowing whether to eat the two points and switch or stay low and hope bondt007 messes up!
Anywhoos:
My picks are...
10. JD Adams
9. Frenchie Davis
8. Jennifer Fuentes
7. Corey Clark
6. Joshua Gracin
5. Hadas Shalev
4. Vanessa Olivarez
3. Kimberly Caldwell
2. Chip Days
1. Patrick Lake

Eight of my picks will probably all be grouped together!

Okay, I am pretty new around here...could someone explain what a PTTE is? I have seen reference to it a few times but can't find it explained anywhere....Thanks!

Pick To The End

Come in a stranger,leave a little stranger

Survivor Overlord don't ask, it's addictive and stressful. I'm considering going to PTTE anonymous. Pick To The End, look into your crystal ball and decide who's going all the way. I'm sure there's a PTTE starting or starting soon on the Survivor board and they'll have all the rules, but I beg of you don't get sucked in, run, run fast, run far!

By the way,... your sigpic it's a little scary.
Oh and welcome.

OK-

10. Kimberly Locke
9. Patrick Lake
8. JD Adams
7. Rickey Smith
6. Kimberley Caldwell
5. Candice Coleman
4. Vanessa
3. Frenchie
2. Julia DeMato
1. Ruben

I think the girl's have a lot more talent than the boys, but Ruben will be able to coast through because he is original, a male, and very different from Kelly Clarkson.

Very tough w/out the grouping, but we are all in the same boat. And from those we've been exposed to, so many good voices! Here goes:

10. Patrick Lake
9. John Jacob Smalley
8. Julia DeMato
7. JD Adams
6. Vanessa Olivarez
5. Kimberly Caldwell
4. Ruben Studdard
3. Kimberly Locke
2. Chip Days
1. Frenchie Davis

Though we haven't heard most of them sing and really have no idea....

10. Julia DeMato
9. Rickey Smith
8. Joshua Gracin
7. Vanessa Olivarez
6. Kimberly Caldwell
5. Jacob John Smalley
4. Candice Coleman
3. J.D. Adams
2. FRENCHIE DAVIS
1. CLAY AIKEN

If Frenchie and Clay don't make it to the top ten, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

This is really tough without knowing the groupings...but here goes nothing

10. Ruben Studdard
9. Clay Aiken
8. Patrick Lake
7. Vanessa Olivarez
6. Rickey Smith
5. Joshua Gracin
4. Kimberly Locke
3.Julia DeMato
2. Frenchie Davis
1. Kimberly Caldwell

There's my picks....I sure all eight of mine that aren't in the first group will be in the second group and I will be screwed, but oh well.

Sorry about not knowing the pairings, thank Fox for that. It is a first time game and hopefully I can work the kinks out

10.Ruben Studdard
9. Vanessa Olivas
8. Kimberly Clark
7.Corey Clark
6.Meosha Denton
5.Nasheka Siddall
4.Joshua Gracin
3.Patrick Lake
2.Frenchie Davis
1.JD Adams

Not knowing the pairings is the added surprise to this game, thats why I suggested a seperate one once the top 10 is finalized

Going with my "GUT"....and I know it's wrong, lol....keeping with the "Talent over Image" theme....

10. Jacob John Smalley - Simon loves him, but I dunno if the USA does.

09. Rickey Smith - Talented....but he has limitations.

08. Vanessa Olivarez - I dunno...won't quite make it, she probably isn't very versatile in her style.

07. Kim Locke - She and Frenchie can't both be on for too long, they have a similar style and will have a similar (split) fan base...Frenchie survives though.

06. JD Adams - May be a judges' pick, but America won't let him go far...

05. Kim Caldwell - She may be the villain of this thing...but villains do make it pretty far most of the time.

04. Ruben Studdard - Frenchie may steal some of his fans...he's one of my favorites though.

03. Frenchie Davis - I dunno....I just can't see her making it all the way...she probably will have trouble singing some of the different styles that are required to be the American Idol.

02. Julia DeMato - Really like her...hard worker, dilgent...the final vote would be close, but I think she'd be the runner up in this scenario.

01. Joshua Gracin - I dunno...a guy will probably win this time, and he is my favorite of the ones left. The military thing will be a big plus for him, he will have a large fan base.
