Hollywood Week 2 results, Top 24 challenge
The season is now well underway, with the first live show airing tonight! You now have a few tasks before you, including picking your team for the remainder of the season. First, let’s get to the standings:
Hollywood Week 2 results
Congratulations to the Sizzling Singing Sussmans for getting ten of ten correct before the first show aired for a whopping 20 points! Jim also got all ten...
Fantasy Idol Week 3 results, Week 4 challenge
A pretty fun pair of audition shows this week, though I’m sure you’re now as ready as I am to trade the current contrivance for the next: the end of autistic parade for the start of the manufactured drama of Hollywood week.
Week 3 Results
If Joe Jonas lived in 1900s England, a doctor would have pronounced him an “imbicile” and committed him. Seriously that kid has a...
Fantasy Idol Week 2 results, Week 3 challenge
Week 2 Results
Last week’s challenge was to predict whether the first audition would be a Yes or a No. The first auditioner in Chicago, Katelyn Epperly, got 4 yeses - I think we’ll be seeing more of her. In Orlando, the sparkly-eyed Theo Glinton got a resouding “dreadful.” Congrats to all who guessed both correctly: Becky, Dale, Jeff, Kelly, and Tony!
Remember in Week...

Fantasy Idol Week 1 results, Week 2 challenge
Week 1 Results:
The challenges for week one were to predict which city would send more contestants to Hollywood, and to guess whether “A Change is Gonna Come” would be one of the songs used in an audition.
Counter to your collective intuition, Boston sent a few more to Hollywood than Atlanta (only Jim, Katie, and Kristen guessed right.) Most of you, however, correctly guessed that...

There are a few gotchas that are not addressed in the documentation. In your .isproj file, place your path overrides within an ItemGroup like so. The item must be named “InstallShieldPathVariableOverrides” and contain one “PathVariable” element.:

FANTASY IDOL WINNERS
Well, I have finally recovered enough from the shock of Kris Allen’s win to tally the results of our fantasy competition. This is my first time at this sort of thing, I had a fun time and I hope you all did too. Congratualations to Alex, he was the only competitor to guess that Kris would win it all! Most everyone’s strategy was geared toward a Glambert win, so not many of you picked...

Finale!
It’s here, the Season 8 finale! Tonight’s show should be one of the most compelling in Idol history, with the creative, kute (yet underpowered) Kris Allen facing the Adam Lambert performance machine. TOP 3 RESULTS Our standings have been updated with last week’s results. Several players earned points from Danny’s 3rd place finish. Sarah earned a Fantasy Idol-high 95 points...

Top 7 results, Top 5 preparation
Top 7 results: In the first top 7 show, nobody guessed that Matt would get the axe. Predictions were much better for the second show, with Julio/Maria, Alex, Kristen, and Sarah all guessing both eliminations. Jim was the only person to predict that Matt would get the save. This masterstroke puts him almost 100 points ahead of his nearest competitor. For the rest of the field, your best hope is...

Standings update
Hey everyone, we’ve had two elimination shows since the standings were updated. New point totals are now on the right. Lots of people guessed Michael three weeks ago when he squeaked past but only Becky, Kristen, Jenny, Sarah, and Sara stuck it out for the win. I’m sure we can all agree (except for maybe Andrea, who has lost a team member) that it was time for Megan to go. She was a trainwreck...

Top 11 results, new bonus challenge
It was a bit of a shock to lose Alexis this week, although I wasn’t surprised that the judges didn’t use their save. Speaking of the judges’ save, I’d like to introduce a parallel bonus challenge. Starting now, guess who the judges will save for major bonus points. You can only guess once, and you can never change your guess. You don’t have to guess right away, but...

Top 13 results, a request
Hey everybody, The top 13 performance show was big fun. There were some surprise highs and lows. A few teams have taken a hit already and things are getting tighter at the top - there’s a new #1 in town! The next few weeks will run the same as this past one did. Please submit your guess for who’s off before the elimination show airs. Remember you earn 4 points for guessing an...

Top 36 - round 2 results, round 3 reminder
I have to say I found last night’s performances a bit spotty.. I was surprised that a few of the singers made it as far as they did. I also was surprised that Scott still won’t let them do his hair. I mean, it might not bother him but seriously.. trust those of us with eyes dude. There were also some great performances, I think we got a look at some Idols who will be with us for a...

Top 36 round 1 results, round 2 challenge
Last week’s show held a few surprises, including one big one: the dark horse Michael Sarver. Nobody guessed that he would move on to the top 12. Many people (Alex, Kristen, Andrea, Tony, Jim, and Becky) all guessed that Alexis and Danny would win. For this week, the challenge is the same. The top guy, top girl, and next highest vote-getter will move on to the top 12. Your task is to predict...
