"AI6 DialIdol/VoteFair Predictions Thread, Part Two"
I'm starting a new thread to prevent the other one from getting any longer. I'm on dial up and the loading time is starting to drag a bit. Anyway, I'll be posting the final results of both DialIdol and VoteFair on this thread.

You need to comment on, complain about, cheer, or even question the results of the predictions? You may do it here. Just remember that these are just predictions, and do not actually reflect the results of the voting. Thus, everything here will not have any spoiler value despite the alleged accuracy of DialIdol.

Here's the link for the previous thread (link) in case you want to check it out. Snidget and Fishercat have posted some great information about DialIdol in there. Plus of course, the results for the first four weeks of AI6.

Also, because of the length of the posts in the thread, I'm discouraging everyone from using your sigpics here. I'm not stopping you from doing it, just please don't do it often.

1. "Results, Top 11 Finalists"
DialIdol, by Score
1 Melinda Doolittle
2-6 Phil Stacey
2-7 Sanjaya Malakar
2-7 Blake Lewis
2-7 Lakisha Jones
2-11 (B3) Jordin Sparks
3-11 (B3) Chris Richardson
6-11 (B3) Haley Scarnato
6-11 (B3) Gina Glocksen
6-11 (B3) Chris Sligh
6-11 (B3) Stephanie Edwards

Stephanie was also in last place last week, but didn't end up in the bottom three. Sanjaya turned out to be in the bottom three last week despite DI's predictions, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens to him this week. Just stating the obvious, but if this prediction holds true, then expect Sanjaya to participate in the upcoming AI tour.

Anyway, Phil finishes quite strong this week on their chart, beating favorites Lakisha, Jordin, Blake, and (ugh!) Sanjaya. Melinda takes solo position for first place.

DialIdol, by Busy Signals
1. Melinda Doolittle
2. Phil Stacey
3. Blake Lewis
4. Lakisha Jones
5. Jordin Sparks
6. Sanjaya Malakar
7. Stephanie Edwards
8. Chris Richardson
9. Chris Sligh
10. Haley Scarnato
11. Gina Glocksen

Melinda also takes the lead in this list. Over 1/3 of calls for her translate into busy signals. Gina has no such luck--only 1 out of 9 calls end up as busy signals for her.

VoteFair
1. Melinda Doolittle
2. Lakisha Jones
3. Blake Lewis
4. Jordin Sparks
5. Chris Sligh
6. Gina Glocksen
7. Chris Richardson
8. Stephanie Edwards
9. Haley Scarnato
10. Phil Stacey
11. Sanjaya Malakar

Even though Sanjaya remains the least popular choice in VoteFair, they're predicting that the two most vulnerable this week are Stephanie and Phil "because their 'traditional vote counts' in these VoteFair results are lower than the ones of least-popular Sanjaya". English, please?

They are also predicting a final three of Melinda, Blake, and Jordin, with the first two moving on to the finale. They're giving the edge to Melinda for that final two bout.

Oooh! Thanks for bringing it here, Snidget. It's always nice to see different lists for us to compare.

ETA: Wow, the results on this poll changes FAST. Now it's showing the first seven intact, followed by Phil, Stephanie, and Gina. Chris S. is at #11.

7. "Final Results, Top 11 Finalists"
I thought that would be the final rankings, but I was wrong:

By DialIdol Score
1 Melinda Doolittle
2-6 Phil Stacey
2-7 Blake Lewis
2-7 Lakisha Jones
2-7 Sanjaya Malakar
2-11 (B3) Jordin Sparks
3-11 (B3) Chris Richardson
6-11 (B3) Stephanie Edwards
6-11 (B3) Chris Sligh
6-11 (B3) Gina Glocksen
6-11 (B3) Haley Scarnato

Stephanie and Haley switch places, with the latter getting the lowest score from DI. Chris S. and Gina also switch places, Chris gaining the upper hand.

Busy signals and VoteFair results remain the same.

35 minutes after the show, I started calling for Lakisha since she was not as brilliant as her diamonds. For a whole hour, I was able to get through EVERY time!!! That's scary!

ETA a very needed "not".

I started watching the show at 10:30 and started voting for Blake after he sang and did so for about 1/2 hour straight...NO BUSY SIGNALS either...It must be the Glowie Factor..."I'm not voting bc this season is too boring compared to Bucky and Chris last year."

6. "RE: AI6 DialIdol/VoteFair Predictions Thread, Part Two"

could it be a factor of where you live?

I'm in the seattle area, and I didn't try to vote for our local boy Blake because he seemed safe.

but I had a hard time getting votes in for Gina! probably a factor of my market? I almost tried some of the other numbers for comparison, but lacked the motivation to bother. hah.

seattle in general is more alternative than pop. although the alternative types probably boycott the show, so it's hard to know how that washes out.

Some people seem to think they might have added some capacity to the system.

Which makes some sense if they want the final vote tallies to be higher than last year. We will have to see how much they go up at the end.

Some of the votes have been close enough (where they are all almost the same % according to Ryan) that I think they probably needed to add more capacity.

They've gotten complaints about that.

If they can handle more incoming calls we should have fewer busy signals.

Chris Daughtry "seemed safe" last year. I would HATE for that to happen again this year with Blake. I'm not comparing the two by any means, I'm just comparing the "seems safe" thing.

Please don't make me vote.

I wasn't going to vote this year...but since I was going to watch Boston Legal anyway, I voted for Blake during the commercials . Many, many busy signals in the midwest for Blake.

yeah, I don't assume anyone's "safe" as a general concept.

but I also was looking at DialIdol, and he seemed good.

although it's hard to trust that so much after Sanjaya's mysterious discrepancy last week.

and I have a hard time believing Phil was a top vote-getter last night. makes no sense at all to me.

Here's what I found in the season 4 archives --a theory from ToddLJ who had it at least in season 3, maybe even season 2? Anyway, it is basically a fan base will rally to "save" someone who was in the bottom 3 the previous week--Phil and Sanjaya fit that bill with getting enough votes this week (we think) to be safe this week:

-------------------From ToddLJ-----------

Here's the rule:

Part 1: In any given week, the bottom three can be predicted by looking at the bottom three from two weeks prior.

Part 2: Two members of the bottom three will be the two people who were in the bottom three two weeks prior (but weren't booted.) Part 2-A: One of those two people will be booted.

Part 3: The other person in the bottom three will be someone who has never been in the bottom three previously. Part 3A: Or someone who was in the bottom 3 previously, but not in the prior two weeks.

This rule can't predict the first two weeks, because it's based on patterns, but since week three, this rule predicted the boots of Jessica, Nadia and Anwar. That's 3 out of 5 boots that have followed this rule.

-----------------

Top 12:

Bottom 3
---------
Phil (safe)
Sanjaya (bottom 2)
Brandon (booted)

16. "Uhmm..."
Hi guys,

I'll be gone for the next couple of weeks (1st week because of an extremely hectic work schedule, 2nd week because of an overseas trip) so can I ask anyone to track the DI / VF scores for those weeks? You just have to put the rankings from the websites after the voting window has closed and maybe a summary of how each contestant has moved up or down the rankings through time, and maybe even speculation as to why Sanjaya keeps ranking in the top three.

Thanks, everyone!

22. "RE: Top 10 Rankings"
Finally got home after a day and a half of nonstop working...

VoteFair says that a surprise elimination shouldn't surprise us this week. Among their picks to be vulnerable this week are Lakisha, Chris Sligh, and Chris Richardson. They're not counting out Phil and Gina, though, who are also not very popular as far as their ranking goes.

BTW, last week, their prediction of a Stephanie elimination came true. Let's see how they'll fare this week.

From RickyHoeGuardian at IdolForums--he is reporting this as the actual vote order and says "they didn't lie":

1. Melinda
2. Blake
3. Lakisha
4. Sanjaya
5. Chris. R
6. Gina
7. Jordin
8. Phil
9. Haley
10. Chris S

--------
I predict some repimping of Jordin because I don't think they want her as low as 7th. She should be fine with standards/big band week.

at the end of Pacfic zone voting, before Hawaii:


1-5 Melinda Doolittle -

1-9 (B3) Phil Stacey -

1-9 (B3) Sanjaya Malakar -

1-9 (B3) Chris Richardson -

1-9 (B3) Blake Lewis -

2-9 (B3) Jordin Sparks -

2-9 (B3) Gina Glocksen -

2-9 (B3) Lakisha Jones -

2-9 (B3) Haley Scarnato


at 10:30 my time, three were safe including Phil. Then the bottom four shifted around 5 or 6 times, it was really in motion. Lakisha was even on the bottom once. So were the Jordin and Gina.

You give too much credit to Stren and VFTW

I know they report on the VFTW forum that a fair number of them do use dialidol, so I suspect some of the votes on there are those people. I also know the AOL poll numbers changed after the Worsters had it up on their forum and reported power voting on it.

I don't know how many tweenagers are using power-voting software. I think they may like the sitting and actually dialing the phone or texting the vote in thing. Having been a tweenage girl once setting the software and going to do something else would just not have the same appeal.

I knew the moment I saw Sanjaya that he'd be getting the Tween vote. There is always a Tween favorite. Just happens they also tend to end up as the one the Worsters vote for because the Tween favorite usually annoys the heck out of Simon.

Personally, I think he's good entertainment and has that soft non-threating boy thing that makes 12 year old girls get all swoony. I think that with some of the right training and coaching he could get his voice under control to do well at live performance. He just isn't there, yet, IMO.

I would think the reason Sanjaya is so high in the AOL poll is because of all the press he has been given, not simply because of a teen vote.. personally, I believe that some people take Americal Idol much too seriously, and others would love to see Sanjaya win, or at least go much farther, just because he is so different.. I'm sure the producers love all the attention he is bringing to the show.

I'd like to see him stay until Phil, Haley, and Gina are gone..

He went from middle of the pack (which I expect from the fans) to number one after VFTW started a voting campaign on various on-line polls.

They have a thread on the forum where they discuss how to autovote for those and tracking the progress as Sanjaya went up the polls.

If you were to check the Geopredictions on DialIdol.com it makes sense nothing changes with their stats after Alaska and Hawaii vote.

Aren't many votes being cast using DialIdol from either of those states.

Yes, we do watch AI in Hawaii. I've also been to dialidol, but I don't use it, and it doesn't seem as if anyone else uses it either. But AI is as popular in Hawaii as it is everywhere else, mostly because Jasmine and Camille were contestants. But even after they left, Hawaii fans continue to watch AI.

Personally, I am a big fan of Melinda's. In our office, my co-workers are fans of Melinda, Blake and Jordan.

LAST EDITED ON 04-05-07 AT 06:35 AM (EST)

With the margin of error all the people who have been voted off have been potentially the bottom person. If you really look at what they say the only person who was safe was Melinda. Everyone else was potentially in last place.

Also, it was never designed to be a perfect prediction tool. There seems to be a lot less busy signals than before which makes it less accurate (if they want bigger vote totals than last year they had to up the capacity to receive votes).

There is also the problem that DialIdol voters are probably not a scientifically representative sample of all American Idol voters. If you go to the site and look at the raw data Lakisha gets very few dialidol votes even if she is popular with other groups. This mean she isn't going to be measured accurately.

They wrote the program so people could autodial for their favorites. That it reports busy signals has some predictive value, but like I said, the nature of how it is used by whoever uses it means it can't be a perfect predictive tool. Sometimes the raw data tells you more than the final score. No computer model is perfect. Just look at the margin of error for where a hurricane will land 5 days from now as an example.

ETA: It isn't like any of the other polls got Gina as the boot, either.

72. "RE: AI6 DialIdol/VoteFair Predictions Thread, Part Two"
Dial Idol's issues are further compounded by regional/local telco issues. I could not get through much for Blake (yes, I voted, lol) right after the show ended. I tried again between 10:30-11 and got through almost all the time. Not all markets may have had the same phone congestion I had right after 9. I do not know if my area's phone congestion was Blake related or any-idol related--just the volume of calls in general.

Their lack of accuracy surprises me because last week's votes were down 33% from the previous year--so 7you would think the lower vote amounts would make them more accurate instead of the reverse.


BTW, Snidget, thanks for creating the chart below this post--it's great to see all the data.

From my limited understanding of the math they use to calculate you actually want more busy signals not less.

It's not based as much on the votes that get through as it is the busy signals.

The busy tells you how the population as a whole might be voting. If almost of the lines are clear almost all of the time it is hard to tell anyone apart, and most of the predictions really only tell you that Melinda is safe and the rest are too close to call. Yep it puts them in some order, but the margin of error is so big that most of the field could easily be in the bottom three.

The problem is that isn't sampled evenly. It would be one thing if the dial idol voters voted for all the contestants close to evenly. I suspect they do try to normalize for that, but any mathmatical model is better when you are working off of real data rather than what you extrapolate.

I may start adding in the % busy which hasn't been as good most weeks, but this week I think is the only number that had Gina at the bottom.

ETA: The Geopredictions page shows you how the different states vote, it is kind of interesting to see how some parts of the country's dialidolers really vary in who they favor.

Silly Snidget, it's too early for Hurricanes.

I think only a small segment of the population uses dialidol, so it can't be a completely accurate predictive tool.

Ii on the other hand have gotten the boot right every week so far this season. Too bad I don't post on "Should go/will go". I just tell DH and the kids. They are amazed by me.

Do you think Randy was supposed to have said that the the boys..."that your not the top 3?"....I didn't hear whether he told the divas they were the top 3. I found it odd that they would tell us who the top 3 are...usually they don't do that...and for the record if that is the F3 OMH the ratings will go even lower...

Eta: I think this will galvanize the 3 boys' vote bases and will hurt Lakisha the most if they think she is safe.

76. "RE: Top 9 Prediction Summary"
LAST EDITED ON 04-05-07 AT 12:49 PM (EST)

I think you meant Ryan and no he did not tell the divas they were top 3. I was surprised that they pointed out the distinctions too especially since the three girls were top three. I don't think it's a good idea to point it out exactly as you said -- it might galvanize the underdogs. I didn't like Season 3 and the only reason I like this season better is because of Blake. I am not on the Sanjaya bandwagon, but I said to my DH, if Blake gets voted out before Sanjaya, I will totally vote for Sanjaya to win and screw the divas!!

I think Ryan was meant to do that. They usually won't give exact order, or vote totals, but they do sometimes let you know where people were besides the bottom three.

My thought was it was do give them that brief "if we aren't the top maybe we are the bottom 3" moment of terror. Jerking the contestants around like that is standard AI stuff.

78. "RE: Top 9 Prediction Summary"
Here's how he sorta told them:

-------

Ryan, after saying the songs the diva three sang:

" America Voted....
this is where we take a break...
...but not tonight!

You are all safe...
Take a seat. "


As he walks away from divas who are going to their seats:


"Lots of excitement there (the divas)"


Walking past the real bottom three:

" Not so much here (the real bottom 3)"

Ryan now walks up to the 3 remaining guys (B/C/S):

" you know you are not the top three...
....but you know you are not the bottom three...
You are safe, blah blah blah"

So by inference he told the divas they were top three (by telling the boys they were middle three).

my question is was he supposed to? bc it was not known to us until he said that that the 3 divas were top 3. Most likely it was scripted but I thought maybe Ryan made a gaffe and then just went with it...

thanks zazzy for typing that up.

I was trying to remember how it was said, and this is the first season in years I haven't been taping.

do you all think it's true?

I have a hard time believing lakisha was top 3.

83. "Additional VoteFair Predictions:"
LAST EDITED ON 04-11-07 AT 03:41 AM (EST)

<quote>
Predictions: Based on recent results in this VoteFair poll, and if there are no more mistakes, here are predictions for the elimination sequence:


  • The next three elminations will be Phil, Haley, and Chris (Richardson), in no yet-predictable order, except that eliminations tend to alternate between males and females.
  • Then (or possibly sooner) Lakisha is likely to be eliminated — for the same reason Mandisa in Season 5 was a surprise elimination: they lack first-choice popularity, and that's all that counts in the official results.
  • After Lakisha is eliminated, Sanjaya will be eliminated (assuming he doesn't make a mistake before then). He continues to be promoted on websites and radio shows as "the worst", and therefore worthy of votes, supposedly to make the show more entertaining.
  • The final three contestants are likely to be Blake Lewis, Jordin Sparks, and Melinda Doolittle.
  • Because of vote-splitting between Jordin and Melinda, the top-two finale will include Blake. Jordin could be the other contestant if she picks up votes from the supporters of similar eliminated contestants.

That's really close to what I'd predict, although it looks like Lakisha's numbers put her in the bottom tier with the other three. There just isn't enough room for 3 divas at this stage.

Melinda's support is mostly East of the Mississippi Blake usually just gets high support from the North West, but this time it was all over the place.

86. "RE: Top 8 Average Ranking "
Averaged the DI score/% Busy/VF/AOL-am results/W-L states

It does give the DI a 3 slots, but they look at the data different so here are the straight average

Ave
Melinda.....2.00
Blake.......2.40
Jordin......4.50
Sanjaya.....4.70
Haley.......4.80
Phil........5.30
Chris.......5.80
Lakisha.....7.10

I did another calculation where I gave the 3 DI numbers the same weight as AOL and VF and that kept the order the same.

87. "RE: Top 8 Average Ranking "
Thanks you two for providing this data! Could Haley be safe this week? Will Lakisha definately be in the bottom 3?

--------

Back to last week for a second--there was a post on idol forums from Ricky that gave a different vote order list and said it was the real vote order than the one that Ryan implied.

It said Sanj was in the top 3, Blake was 4th and Lakisha was much lower--the gist was that Ryan only implied the order but by not telling the divas that they were top 3 showed that they separated them for dramatic purposes. And when he went to the three guys, he said "we know you are not the top 3" which was true because if only Sanj was a top 3...

Anyway, no way to know if Ricky's list was real or not. It does make you think about how Ryan separated them out and what he did not say--he did not tell M/J/L that they were the top 3.


So, watching for Ryan's words tonight.

Yep, how Ryan said it last week could leave a fair amount of ambiguity. It would be really nice to get the real vote orders, but I do think they don't do that because they don't want people assuming the leaders are so safe they don't need to be voted for.

They fixed the bug in the GeoPredictions

That and it's probably more accurate looking at the colors rather than scrolling over each state.

We don't know the adding procedure done by AI for this, and not all the polls did it the same way, but we will see what we see.

My first take looking at the numbers is that this week didn't change much other than move Blake up a bit and maybe make last week's bottom 2 on the averages even more strongly in the bottom two. That is a first impression, not a solid analysis :}

LAST EDITED ON 05-09-07 AT 03:39 PM (EST)

This leaves a very good possibility that Melinda gets Daughtry'd, which makes this F4 a very good comparison to last season where

Blake = Taylor (both male, exciting performers with lacking vocal skills for this point but with a flair that makes them exciting)

Jordin = Katharine (most attractive female left with a booming voice who survived an early DI scare or two)

Lakisha = Elliot (inexplicably makes the F3 spot after many voting scares, a lack of attractiveness (is that a word?), and a good voice that can be boring)

Melinda = Daughtry (uber-pimped vocalist who does not care to try songs out of his/her range, even if he/she can)

But since the VFTW pick is Lakisha, she'll probably go, depriving us of the shocker.

And by very good possibility, I mean more than 0%
