The moment you've all been waiting for. I'm sorry I haven't been able to return all the phone calls and email. There are just too many. Here are the rules:
Rank the contestants in the order you think they will finish. You'll receive a point (points are bad) for each position away from your prediction that the contestant finishes. For example if you pick Haley to finish third and she finishes fourth, you get one point. The entrant with the fewest points wins. You will owe the winner 1 dollar for every point by which you exceed his points. For example, if you have 12 points and they have 9, you owe them 3 dollars. Maximum loss is 12 dollars. No second place. No last place. One winner only. If you can't afford the entry fee, a major pharmaceutical company may be able to pay for you. Deadline for entries is the start of the next show on Tuesday. Place your entries in comments to this post. The names of the Idol contestants are Chris Sligh, Chris Richardson, Sanjaya, Blake, Phil, Brandon, Stephanie, Haley, Gina, Lakisha, Melinda, and Jordin. Tell your friends. You might be able to win 12 dollars from them and the more the merrier.
Tiebreakers: Starting with the #1 position, the winner would be the one who picks that one correctly. If there is a tie, we'll go down the list from 1 to 12 until we come to an incorrect pick. for instance if I tie with Mom/Cassie, and we both pick the winner correctly, but she picks the runner-up correctly and I don't, she wins.
Make and enter your picks right here in the comment section. Picks may be revised up until the show on Tuesday night.

My list would be different, of course, if I were trying to choose the way it SHOULD turn out, rather than guessing at how it WILL turn out. For instance, Sabrina would still be on it, and Sanjaya and Haley would be gone, gone, gone.

Cassie-You're so right, Sabrina go t robbed! I remember watching this contest on the blog last year and thinking, Hmm these people need a life...what a difference a year makes. I hope the guys can get it together enough to make it worth watching. Oh God listen to me. I'm hooked.
Claire, I was like that once, too. This is much more fun.
Who needs a life when you have American Idol??
I'm a new player, too. All right for me. I don't get good reception with just a rooftop antenna, but I can hear it pretty good. Here goes:

Oh my God. I'm pitiful. I actually check back to the blog to see what other entries have been submitted. And I so get Cassie's comment about not needing a life if I have AI. This is just sick sick sick...
Claire, you said, " Sandra got Robbed." Get it? Robbed!
No, Claire, YOU got Robbed!
My picks in the am. Too tired from 24.
We're actually going to go skiing tomorrow evening and will have to wait to view AI from the DVR.
-WE- have a life.
Tomson, next year I will have a life too. But for now, this is my virgin AI year and I want to make the best of it, because I'll never be a virgin again. I want to be like you guys were last year, and my neighbors every year, and the rest of America. Skiing on an AI night? No way. My only disappointment is that Rob does not share nor understand my obsessive AI behavior. Robbed again.

I can't believe I got home from Town Board Mtg last night and found my husband (Scott, "a new player this year"), not with my dinner ready and warm, but watching AI -- what have you people done to him? So when I served dinner, I had to eat it while some guy with a nasal voice sang and pranced.
Blake.
BTW, Dad's got a meta-contest going over at the Magic Screen.
Lakisha. Awesome. Sweet. Pure. And great song choice.
James' comment refers to his dad, Scott, not the Murphy Dad of this blog.
Does that help, Arnie?
