DialIdol has been wrong, but two weeks ago they were 2 out of 3, and last week they were spot on.

And even Larry's Predictor says that someone that's never been in the bottom 3 will show up.

If you add in the margin of error into the analysis of DialIdol Ace and Bucky are pretty much a tie for dead last with Chris and Katharine an even closer tie for getting into the bottom 3 so any scenario where A/B go and C/K round out the trio on the bottom would work with thier numbers.

I'd almost rather see Chris in the bottom three this time *duck and finish typing from under the desk* than Katharine because I think a wake up call at this point in the competition might push him to go beyond the comfort zone more than he has. I like his singing, but I'm getting bored with him in the competition. I'm leaning to Katharine being in the bottom three as while Chris would fit the pattern and numbers better I think her general lack of fan support--from reports of who has how many websites, etc.--might alter which one of the two was really the lowest (since they are very close with enough error in the measurement that you can't really know which is where) However, Chris wouldn't shock me.

Is it safe to come out yet?

"Is this bc of DialIdol? They've been wrong..."

Yes.

I know they've been wrong, but they have been pretty darn close lately, and after they changed their analysis to account for the differences on the coasts, they nailed it last week.

Katherine and Chris are a coin flip for who will be in bottom 3 with Ace & Bucky.

I think Chris needs a little motivation to change it up some. He is boring me and I liked him almost as well as Taylor in the beginning.

Ruben and Fantasia both hit bottom 3 at least once before going on to win. Bo was bottom 3 once last year too.

And Emy I know you put Taylor in the SHOULD list, lol, that's why you got the *squinty eyes*! I love me some Taylor.

I know, if I was queen supreme ruler, Taylor WOULD be in the bottom 3...

I guess it wouldn't matter if Chris is in bottom 3, just not bottom 1 I think Carrie and Clay are the only ones never called out in the bottom 2 or 3

I looked at dial idol data and it looks like Ace is in more trouble than Bucky at least on no. of calls. Bucky had a lot more people voting for him...the %s are very close but its NO. VOTES that count
