Any American Idol Fans up for PAR-TAY?

[Teresa]

It's very sad to my DH, but I'm hopelessly addicted to this show. Would anyone be interested in having a little Sweet Shoppe Pool for this season?

Here's how it would work:

1) After each show, come to the AI thread here and post who you'll think will be in the bottom 3 AND the person(s) you predict will be voted off.

2) All votes MUST BE CAST no later than 30 minutes before the results show STARTS on the EAST COAST (usually 8pm EST, so the votes will be due by 7:30 EST). I will document the votes cast at that time. Any changes made after that time WILL NOT COUNT (I want to be able to actually *watch* the show myself)

2) Points will be given as follows:
a) One point for each person in the bottom group that you identify correctly (if there is a "bottom 3" there will be 3 points up for grabs and so on)
b) Two points for correctly identifying the person(s) voted off. In the early rounds this will be up to 8 points per week (since there will be 2 men and 2 women voted off each week)
c) Five points will be given at the very end for correctly identifying the winner.

3) PLEASE don't try to "cheat" by editing your posts afterwards. I am going to do the best I can to get everyone's vote properly recorded prior to the show.

4) 3 Winners at the end. I'll donate $10 SSD bucks to 1st place, $5 to 2nd and $5 to 3rd place. Anyone else that wants to donate a prize can PM me.

Are you game??

Here's a sample of the format (what you would post each week to be counted). Guys/gals are separated until the top 12 are announced.

Guys Bottom 3- Guy A, Guy B, Guy C (in alphabetical order)
Bye Bye- Guy C

Girls Bottom 3- Girl A, Girl B, Girl C (in alphabetical order)
Bye Bye- Girl A

P.S. If it's totally uncool of me to start something like this here, just smack me! Just thought it'd be a fun thing to do in our cozy little community!
