Need to waste 12 minutes of your life? Take the quiz above and see how many finalists you can list down. I got a whopping 10 people before I gave up.

I got 16 without a list, I had to look up how to spell some of the names and I had a lot of faces go by that once I had a list of people to look at I go 60 or so that I remember something about.

"31 of 95"

I didn't like having to know last names, which cost me a handful of finalists. The songs were not helpful.at.all.

Season 1 (4): Top 4
Season 2 (6): Top 3, plus three others
Season 3 (2): Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson
Season 4 (4): Top 2, plus two others
Season 5 (2): Top 2 (totally blanked on what was a memorable season)
Season 6 (1): Chris Sligh
Season 7 (5): Top 2, plus three others
Season 8 (7): Top 6, plus one other

I think the clues were the last songs that each contestant sang as a finalist. But yeah, the clues were generally not useful.

I got the F2 in each season but only 46 total...the "kick myself" ones I missed: Jennifer Hudson, LaToya London, Chikezie, Carly Smithson, and Megan Joy.

Didn't watch Season 4 so only got Bo and Carrie...saw the live tour for Season 6 so got all but Stephanie Edwards.

I half expect something like this to show up on a game show sometime...might have already.

(Try me on all the people who've played Survivor. Won't even need 12 minutes.)

Well, I remembered the first names but it was hard to remember the last names of some of them. I gave up quite a few times but then returned to the attack, finally getting all the names right after a few tries. I've been watching since the first season and I have a good memory. But it got easier with the more recent seasons.

I remembered faces, but couldn't place names. BUT, this thing also didn't give me credit for about 5 or so that I DID have correct-even spelled them correctly. So, I'm a little bummed! I had 20, but I think I could have had more, if the game would have worked correctly, AND my mind and fingers weren't too stressed-LOL. Test stress, I guess. Reminded me of my college days...
Although, I would have missed all but the finalists for season 1, since I didn't watch that.

All I know is that I was never a finalist!

Interesting test. But it will be rather necessary for this.

Just 4 names, 4 winners of 4 seasons.
Carrie Underwood
Fantasia Barrino
Ruben Studdard
Kelly Clarkson
The most impressive voice to me is Ruben Studdard. I had met him at Apknite, he has such beautiful romantic duets in pop music, things like “You’re Lookin’ like Love to Me” by Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson.
