Going On Record

I shoulda known.

We've reached the point where as far as the contest goes, they don't even need to bother with the singing - it's all about voter turnout.

The trend is clear and can be called out. Following this week's dismissal of Carly, we can expect Syesha to go next week, then the next two victims are Brooke and Jason, leaving the two Davids in the final.

The only thing that can change that is if Brooke completely and utterly melts down next week and her fans abandon her after three terrible weeks in a row.

I expect Carly's fans to move to David Cook's camp. Syesha's fans will probably stop voting entirely. Jason's fans will mostly move to Archuleta's base. Brooke's fans will mostly stop voting (males), but some will go to Archuleta (females who like the wholesome clean-cut thing). Archuleta wins American Idol.

That's how I'm calling it.
