I think this is the toughest prediction yet. Carrie and Bo have huge fan bases who will vote for them no matter how lackluster they perform. Anthony has come on strong and was really great last night. Vonzelle has been the most consistant throughout the shows, but hasn't had that huge base from the start. Will her tears save her? We'll know in a few hours.

Hobbs, that's a great Ryan show promo: "Will her tears save her? We'll know in a few hours..."

My theory on why they aren't doing a revote is because neither Carrie or Bo are in danger tonight. Not saying one of them couldn't be in the bottom 2, but it's either Vonzelle or Anthony going home. Had either of their numbers been shown for all 4 contestants, not Carrie's and as a result Carrie "lost" votes and was in danger of elimination, a revote would have been announced first thing this morning.

So some of Anthony's votes went to Bo. They have reviewed the results and have determined that the numbers are consistant with past weeks I presume so will leave it. So what does this mean? It must mean Anthony is not going home tonight. How could they claim this mix up did not effect the outcome otherwise? OR Anthony's numbers were so far below the others that they figured the number of votes he possibly lost would never make up the difference.

I woulda voted for Vonzel last night, I really would have, except that I was so ticked off about the treatment of Anthony that I spent the entire time voting for him. Not a pity vote, as I truly liked Anthony the most, but I would have supported both of them if I thought Anthony wasn't so much at risk versus Carrie and Bo. I'm afraid Vonzel will go tonight because it sounds like a lot of people voted like I did Not anti-Vonzell, but anti-Bo/Carrie and trying to keep Anthony in.

Supposedly tonight is going to be another bombshell, according to a guy who has supposedly seen the results. (Mel from idolforums.com, the guy usually has the numbers.)

I don't usually watch Idol too much, and haven't really read this thread since last night's show, but I just needed to say that I thought Carrie's performances were big stinkers last night. I was quite surprised. (Why I needed to say that, i don't know, but this thread has been calling my name all day LOL)

Some of Bo and Anthony's votes on the East Coast could have gone to Carrie, as I read it. If either Carrie or Vonzell go, the error would not have made a difference. If Bo or Anthony go the error will cause a stink. Realistically though, very very few votes would be influenced by this error. The number of people using closed caption to get the numbers who would not realize it was incorrect has got to be miniscule. Unless Bo goes out, then it is a gross injustice and I'll be writing to Senator Frist to rush through the Bo Back In Bill.

Rabbit, you are right in that the votes it would affect are miniscule at best; however, AI would have to deal with the hearing-impaired audience that would complain that their votes aren't taken seriously and they were discriminated against.

The CC numbers are not for the hearing impaired. It is easier to memorize a number if you see it rather than just hearing it. They want to make it easy for you to vote and this helps. The hearing impaired watch the entire show with their CC on. I doubt this is a very popular show for them. I do not ascribe to conspiracy theories but it seems obvious to me that Vonzell is gone tonight. I think they would do a revote if either Carrie or Bo were in danger. They would grab the chance at another outcome. God, I sound like Ewing. I better go take a nap.

"Shocking" is a relative term, though; meaning, it's usually shocking to what they expected the outcome to be. When Jennifer was a "shocking" boot, I was not "shocked". When Constantine was booted, I was not "shocked" as much as I was surprised that they didn't cheat to keep him in (unless they had determined splitting the rocker vote would hurt their Bo). I think it'll be Carrie-not shocking to me, but shocking because they've been priming her all along. If it's Carrie, the voting problem wouldn't be an issue, either. Well, I can hope, anyway. Only a few hours left to speculate. Anyone else wanna jump in with guesses?

I'd be happy if either Carrie or Bo went. I'm all about the Vonz, and Anthony can sing to me anytime he wants to!

Where has the shocking word been used? On one of the entertainment shows I won't see until later?

Ellen tapes a few days before it's shown. We get it here in the east at 10am and there's no way she'd be doing a show at 7am live for us!

Allisons used the word "bombshell" above (~1:29pm). That's what I was referring to. I can't imagine the idea of Anthony being booted being anywhere near a *bombshell", so that gives me hope

I am so sick of them and their "shockers" and "bombshells" and then it turns out to be exactly who you would think it would be.

i am confused at the 'cheat to keep him in' comment on contstantine. IMHO, he should still be there! i think the 'vote for the worst. com' kept scott in way past his time!

Tabby - That site VoteForTheWorst had picked Constantine early on, then switched to Scott and then Anthony. It apparently didn't do all that much good since none of them are there anymore.
