Idol: Two performances each, and the themes are....

Scotty in final 3.. possible.

What is he worth though then? 3-5?

I think this is reverse Simon psychology. He knew saying that she was going to go would rally her support. So by saying she was bad and rallying her support for her he was hoping to lull them into a false sense of security and establish the fact that she wasnt that good.

I disagree with most of these posts about Bo's real value.
Right now his sell value is 33, not 40.
He will hit a sell value of 40 before this competition is over. For those of us that own at least 100 Bo's thats an easy 700 to give up on.

All lines busy right now... I wonder how fair the voting system is also. Is the phone system an accurate way of determining popularity? With my doubts I don't mess around too much on tiny edges.

well thats $100 bucks that could have fed 50 starving families in a third world country but will instead line the pockets of WSEX this week.

Scott has been on the bubble for the last month and its about to burst tommorow night. Vonzell may go first, but thats just wishful thinking on my part.

I have to respectfully disagree here.

The reason granny is giving this advice is because it's unlikely Bo will get much higher than this range (the mid-30's) or at least not until the bitter end. While it's possible he could go higher if Carrie has a bad night, that is about the only thing that can help him and there are a lot of things that could hurt him (if he has a bad performance, the upcoming Primetime live special, etc)...so right now is an ideal time to reduce your risk by cashing out your initial stake and freerolling whatever you have left.

FWIW, before I even read granny's advice I had already decided I was going to cashout my initial stake if Bo hit the mid-30's this week. I got a partial fill at 35 and was able to cashout the bulk of my initial investment, I still have a couple hundred left in there, but that is inconsequential at this point. I'm thrilled at my position and I think granny's advice is solid for anyone who is holding Bo.

Anthony will be going home tomorrow. Although I feel it was somewhat unnecessary, Simon's comment that Vonzell is in danger will prevent her elimination.

funny thing is that he top 3'd when simon said to pack bags. this was first week that he was nice so now he probably will go. oye

btw, it is $150. i lost $50 on him already with a buy/sell

IDOLS 3,4,5 tough to get through

IDOLS 1,2 (Anthony and Scott) can get through easily. I voted for Scott only twice to test things out.

3,4,5- Only about 20% of the time.

It appears to me Vonzell is safe this week.
