Blake Lewis to win, with Antonella Barba as runner up

[John]

That is, if the total post count on the AI message boards reflects
popularity and vote count. See http://myidol.americanidol.com/boards/.
Anyone can read posts, but writing one requires sign up. So, here
are the current counts (please excuse crappy formatting):

Blake Lewis 18,126
Antonella Barba 15,785
Chris Sligh 9,397
Sanjaya Malakar 7,856
Sundance Head 6,127
Melinda Doolittle 5,306
Lakisha Jones 4,798
Gina Glocksen 4,752
Chris Richardson 3,387
Jordin Sparks 2,570
Brandon Rogers 2,296
Phil Stacey 1,838
Sabrina Sloan 980
Haley Scarnato 915
Stephanie Edwards 737
Jared Cotter 658

Well, I don't really believe this will reflect future voting results,
but I do think the next 4 voted off will come from the bottom 6 here.
The only one of those I would not want to see go is Sabrina.

Antonella's high post count no doubt reflects a lot of negative posts,
but I just can't understand why Blake gets so many posts. He strikes
me as totally unremarkable in all respects. What gives?

Well, the idol boards are not a very good measure of who will win,
just who is being discussed the most. In season 4 Bo and Constantine
got many more posts than Carrie, who was barely a blip in the overall
count.

But you never know.

To be fair, half-naked photoshopped pictures on the web can generate quite a
bit of conversation. Especially when the overall talent on the show is way
off this season.

Hmm, then I must have missed the news about the half naked photos of
Blake Lewis :-)

Antonella has more buzz than the rest of this field put together.

It would be, in fact, surprising if A-Tone-lla hasn't been the top
vote getter both weeks, and probably would win a head-to-head with
about anybody until maybe about week 6 of the finals.

The Big Twist had better be something that either blows up the field
or blows up the process, at this rate...
