In this or on the show, because Jason's far from the top in this game.

On the actual show

It's so obvious that Simon wants Carly as the runner up , with the whole Kelly Clarkson comment and the fact that she was in the "bottom 3" so early on in the competition (This happened to Katherine McPhee too)

If Jason is anywhere near the top 2, I will buy everyone on DS a drink. Somehow, I think my money's safe.

Awww...I really like Jason. I think we're underestimating his popularity. I mean , he sang a song and it went straight to No.1 on Itunes afterwards!

Personally I doubt Carly will be in the top 3 either. Given that she ended up in the bottom three despite giving a fairly good performance I think America has taken a dislike to her and she will leave the show before she deserves to ...

I'd personally be wary of the "bottom 3" thing in American Idol

Plus the same thing happened with Katherine McPhee , when she ended up in the bottom 2 after a performance which the judges ravished praise upon.

I wasn't too sure about the whole bottom 3 thing either.

Maybe Kristy & Amanda WERE the bottom 2, (which wouldn't be particularly surprising) but the show/producers could easily manipulate the public and put a popular contestant in the bottom 3 to cause drama/shock/keep the viewers watching. I wouldn't be surprised if Carly was one of the contestants that received the highest votes - as long as they don't lie & kick her out despite having the highest amount of votes.

They can do whatever they want if they want to keep the entertainment factor of the show, it wouldn't be interesting if every week was so predictable.

The brains behind the show probably thought;
'Lets stick Carly in the bottom 3, nobody would be expecting that!'
- and look, it worked Everyone was so shocked! Would perhaps get people to vote for her even more.

I agree. The US public are as guilty as the UK public, if not more so, of thinking certain contestants are safe.

As you say, the same thing happened to Katharine. It also happened to Bo and Ruben.

If it is one of those weeks when the contestant who is eventually announced as having polled the least votes is left standing with just another randomly chosen contestant, then it doesn't mean that that other contestant polled the second lowest votes and they could have in fact polled the highest votes, but if they claim they are the bottom 3, they have to be the bottom 3 or they leave themselves open to claims of fraud and misleading the public. Don't imagine that there wouldn't be someone behind the scenes more than willing to whistle blow if the price was right.

It's so odd that people keep ranking KLC so poorly. She has this incredibly smooth voice that never goes out of pitch.

I agree with you - Ryan says clearly something like 'America voted and you are in the bottom three' - no way could this be interpreted as anything else and I don't believe for one moment that the producers would try to pull the wool over the eyes of the American public who are a lot less willing to put up with being bamboozled than we Brits are!

Actually I'm not sure if I agree with what I've just written there...it's really difficult! And who I would like to be in the top 5 is completely different to who I think will be in it... The only things I'm really sure of this year are that David and Brooke are in my top 3 (I'm not sure who the 3rd one is yet!!), and Kristy and Ramiele my bottom 3...

Everyone else is occupying neutral territory at the moment...

As for Carly being in the bottom 3, Ryan did say "America voted" etc etc, and honestly if it's true I think it may be because middle America doesn't like her tattoos I bet if she wears long sleeves this week she'll be safe, but that could also be because her fans decided to vote instead of assuming she'll get thru...

There is a 20 point lead at the top.

The bottom 2 are nailed on to stay there. It's rather close between 4 and 8 and any one of those singers could end up in any of those positions by the end of the week.
