I think top 12 has to be 6 guys and 6 girls in this format.

Probably trying to avoid the sausage fest that happens as a lot of the voters tend to vote for the guys more than the girls. So at least at 12 you have to be 50:50. Wasn't our top 12 last year much more guys than girls?

With the 7 above average girls I'm thinking we will lose one of the quirky unique girls so we can have Katie.

So filling the roles.

Diva: Michelle
Cute/Young: Katie
Cute/Blond: Either Katelyn or Didi
Soulful: Crystal
Quirky: Lilly or Siobhan.

I'm thinking out of that 7 we will lose Didi or Katelyn.

With the guys

Cute Guy: Casey
Black Soulful/Teddy Bear: Michael
Young Cute: Aaron
Blue Eyed Soul: Led
Acoustic version guy: Andrew

Of the remaining I could see Either
Todrick as Diva Guy or John as Crooner/Anoop type of guy.

ETA: We will probably get a better feel for who may be favored/not favored if we get any "That was what we put you in the top 24 to do" from the people near the bottom of the pack or a "what happened to the person we loved last week" type of response and/or a "you are a one trick pony based on two songs" type of thing.
