The new winner!

That's BULLPUCKEY, people!!! Should have been Adam ALL THE WAY! He SO blows everyone out of the water! Did you see him with KISS?! Did ya?! Did ya?! How can you compare that to Kris with Keith Urban? So sad. Even Kris thought it was wrong....

"The underdog, the dark horse!" raved Seacrest after announcing Allen's surprise win. He asked Allen how it felt.

"It feels good, but Adam deserves this -- this is crazy," Allen said.

True dat. Should have been Adam. Sigh.

Well, here's how we did on this final week:

Ann: 0
Gail: 1
Kusno: 0
Lili: 1
Linda: 0
Michelle: 0
Peggy: 0
Scott: 1
Tara: 0
Terry: 0
Tracy: 0

For the final totals of: (*insert drum roll*)

Ann: 4
Gail: 5
Kusno: 7
Lili: 5
Linda: 6
Michelle: 4
Peggy: 5
Scott: 7
Tara: 4
Terry: 0
Tracy: 5

So that leaves Scott and Kusno tied in first (congratulations!!!) and me in second. But, as we did last year, that means Scott and Kusno will split the combo of 1st place and 2nd place ... and I'll take 3rd place kudos. Whoo hoo ... I'm rich, I'm rich!!!

With 50 kudos to split, that means:

1st = $25
2nd = $15
3rd = $10

So that's $40 to split between Kusno and Scott ($20 each) and me with $10. Whoo hoo! We're still missing some kudos (*hint hint, folks!*) but as soon as all are paid up ... kudos will be paid out! Scott, do you want me to send yours to you?

Until next season!

The Final Showdown!!!!

Some great performances last night. Well, one in particular from Adam! Absolutely loved his second song! I'd say both Kris and Adam massacred that final song but I'm pretty sure that song set itself up to fail! Kara, really? ... you were actually proud enough of that song that you admitted you co-wrote it?! UGH!

I still don't understand all the hoopla about Kris. Yeah, yeah ... he's kinda cute. And his voice is pleasant enough. But don't y'all get distracted by his giraffe jaw?? You know, how his jaw goes sideways on some notes? Plus ... B-O-R-I-N-G! I will not be happy if America crowns him the winner. But, I've been outvoted before .... I do believe I was the only one on a 12 man jury who voted CORRECTLY on a civil trial! (hee, hee ... I'm such a rebel!) But ANYWAY, I digress! ;)

Here's how we voted!

Ann: Adam
Gail: Kris
Kusno: Adam
Lili: Kris
Linda: Adam
Michelle: Adam
Peggy: Adam
Scott: Kris
Tara: Adam
Terry: ?
Tracy: ?

So, based on our votes, Kusno is assured first ... though if Kris wins then Kusno will have to share the 1st place title with Scott. However, if Adam wins, then Kusno has first, I have second, and Scott drops to third and has to share that position with Peggy! I, of course, am hoping for the latter! ;)

Guess we shall soon see! It's been fun! To those of you who have not paid ... show me the money!! (errr, kudos!!!)

L-out!

The Final Three Results

Well, that sucked! :) I so wanted Danny and Adam to be the final two. Ah well.

So I won't blather on in this post (you're welcome) as I'm just now getting this up and need to move on to this week's!

Ann: 0
Gail: 0
Kusno: 1
Lili: 1
Linda: 0
Michelle: 1
Peggy: 1
Scott: 1
Tara: 1
Terry: 0
Tracy: 1

Which gives us the totals of:

Ann: 4
Gail: 4
Kusno: 7
Lili: 4
Linda: 6
Michelle: 4
Peggy: 5
Scott: 6
Tara: 4
Terry: 0
Tracy: 5

Darn that Kusno! Okay, on to this week!!!

The Final THREE!

Okay, this is difficult!! I'm thinking that Adam is just blowing everyone else away so watching the others perform makes me cringe a bit ... even though both Danny and Kris are obviously very talented. However, I say it is a toss up between them tonight! I'm only voting Kris to go as I said at the beginning I wanted Danny and Adam in the final two. So I'm sticking with that ... and hope that's how it plays out!

Shockingly, no-one voted for Adam tonight. What up?! Would have been a great way to make some headway in this race. Because a number of us are really, really close.

Remember, top three get to grab a piece of the pie! So ... there's a number of us who may get some "kudos" when all is said and done.

Here's how we voted:

Ann: Kris
Gail: Kris
Kusno: Danny
Lili: Danny
Linda: Kris
Michelle: Danny
Peggy: Danny
Scott: Danny
Tara: Danny
Terry: ?
Tracy: Danny

So, if either Danny or Kris go .... here's how things will shake up:

If Danny goes, Kusno will be in 1st, Scott and I will be tied for 2nd, and Tracy and Peggy will be in 3rd. If Kris goes, I will be in 1st (woot), Kusno will be in 2nd, and Scott will be in 3rd. (I think that's how it goes.) That will leave us one week to go!

Good stuff, folks ... good stuff! :)

Cheers!
Linda

Week #9 Results

Whoo hoooo! Man, I was SWEATIN' that one once it came down to Danny and Allison. I could see Danny going home just as easily, what with the craziness of the American voters (plus for the first time his performance really sucked!). WHEW!!!! He looked SCARED ...lol.

Anyway, so only Gail and I got it correct this week:

Ann: 0
Gail: 1
Kusno: 0
Lili: 0
Linda: 1
Michelle: 0
Peggy: 0
Scott: 0
Tara: 0
Terry: 0
Tracy: 0

And so the totals are now: (*insert drum roll*)

Ann: 4
Gail: 4
Kusno: 6
Lili: 3
Linda: 6
Michelle: 3
Peggy: 4
Scott: 5
Tara: 3
Terry: 0
Tracy: 4

I'd say it's anyone's game at this point, but the truth is we only have TWO votes left. It looks like first place will go to either ME ... or Kusno (or maybe Scott). Also in the running for some winnings are Ann, Gail, Peggy, and Tracy. Mathematically there are a few more who could place if the top runners miss the next two votes but ..... since everyone is probably going to guess Kris next week ....... getting ahead might not be so easy. But we shall see! :)

Week #9

Good golly ... Adam sure blew everyone out of the water last night, didn't he?? No-one else stood a chance after his solo performance! SHEESH! And his and Allison's duet rocked!

But ... I'm voting on past result's show so that's how I came up with my vote. Truly, Kris is my least favorite of the bunch and I thought his performances were the worst last night. But Allison always seems to get bottom three (except last week). So here's hoping this gamble pays off!

Pretty good mix this time! No-one foolish enough to vote for Adam this week, huh?? :)

Ann: Kris
Gail: Allison
Kusno: Kris
Lili: Kris
Linda: Allison
Michelle: Danny
Peggy: Kris
Scott: Kris
Tara: Kris
Terry: ?
Tracy: Danny

Boy, is this going to be interesting tonight!!!! Until then....

Week #8 Results

WOW!!! I did NOT see Adam in the Bottom 3 at ALL! Possibly even Bottom 2 (though I don't think Ryan said for certain one way or the other when he sent Kris back). What a shocker!!! You can bet your bottom dollar that he'll have huge numbers next week as everyone panics and calls in to ensure he stays!!

And Allison .... in the Top 2! YOUSA!!! That was a shocker too! This is a crazy season, I'll give you that!!!

Okay, so no-one gained on the leader (Kusno) so this week was practically a wash. Here's how it went:


Ann: 1
Gail: 0
Kusno: 1
Lili: 1
Linda: 1
Michelle: 0
Peggy: 1
Scott: 1
Tara: 1
Terry: 0
Tracy: 0

With the totals now being:

Ann: 4
Gail: 3
Kusno: 6
Lili: 3
Linda: 5
Michelle: 3
Peggy: 4
Scott: 5
Tara: 3
Terry: 0
Tracy: 4

Three votes left so everyone is still in it!

And boy, next week is going to be interesting! Guess we'll see who is TRULY favored .... Adam or Danny!!

Until then!
