Top 9

It's Thursday going on Friday, and I've finally watched the tape of this week's episode. As I type this, I have not yet checked out the results online (due to a VCR snafu, I didn't tape the results show this time), but, honestly, if I weren't totally committed to this show, this might've been enough to put me off watching it ever again. That was just dreadful.

Okay, bottom of the pack this week were the usual suspects: John Stevens was totally the worst, followed by JPL, followed by Camile, followed by Diana. Jasmine was almost good, but had some really bad notes in there. Fantasia was Fantasia. And George, LaToya, and Jennifer weren't bad at all. (And, for the first time, I'm willing to grant that George has an outside shot at the top spot.)

Who should go... umm, that is, who should have gone: John.
Who I think probably did: Y'know, I'm inclined to stick with the prediction I made in the pool this week, based on the recap: Diana. Although I'd love to find out it was a member of the Terrible Three.

And now off to read the results show recap...

...hmm. Well, Diana did come in third-to-last... but Camile went home. Well, it's long past time.

Finally, one more procedural pool thing: the original rules had an 8 PM EST cutoff point. I've addressed this via e-mail to a couple of you, but for the record, I'm totally ignoring this. I know and trust all the participants, so, you're on your honor. As long as you honestly haven't heard a word about the results, go ahead and vote after that.

I've finally gotten around to making a big ol' Excel spreadsheet with everybody's predictions. The overwhelming majority of the points from the past few weeks are still up in the air, pending the results of the rest of the season, but for the record, at the moment, Annie and Mo have two points apiece, while Heather, TeKay, and Yours Truly each have one.

(All but one of those points came from correctly predicting, somewhere along the way, that Camile would depart this week. The exception was Annie's prediction the first week that Amy would go when she did.)
