They showed Alison on one of the audition shows and more clips of her on the "Best of the Worst" show that is re-airing tonight. She sounded really good. I didn't see the other two girls. I think the producers are saying they want more girls in the top ten, but didnt like any of the remaining 32 except Kimberly C., Trenyce, and Nakesha.

I just posted about this in the other thread. Aliceyn Cooney was shown in the Best/Worst special show. The judges admitted she slipped through the cracks.

I have been scanning all my tapes, and so far, no sign at all of Olivia Mojica or Carmen Rasmesen. For some reason, their auditions before they went to the Hollywood round were never shown. (unless I missed them)

They have 9 people competing and 7 of them are girls. They are definitely shooting for a balance of boys and girls because right now we have 5 boys and 3 girls who got voted through to the top ten (top twelve now).

Yuruhu, don't feel bad, I don't remember any of the new ones either.

And 4 of the 9 will get spots!! Just in case someone hadn't heard that yet! They upped it to a final 12 instead of a final 10.

I guess that way it will carry themm all the way through May so they can win another sweeps month,

I wanted Kimberly Kelsey to get a wildcard spot of they were going to pull from those not in the top 32.

I guess they didn't ask me. Wonder why :)

I think they extended the wildcard to last through seeps, but also to get more girls in the finals without seeming like their stacking the deck. I think they definitely want Kimberly C. and Clay in, but that would make the M/F ratio 6/4. This also made way for Trenyce now, and one more girl.

Since they weren't really impressed by any of the others they had in the top 32, they went to get three others they passed on before. In case those 3 don't pan out, they'll take Nakesha. Mark my word...!

Unless they let America vote...

In that case, UNmark my word!

Yep, Aliceyn was the girl who sang "Angel" (not to be mixed up with the girl with the sexy mom - didn't she sing the same song?) and impressed the judges. We just saw her on the "Good, Bad and Ugly" episode.

Olivia is the girl who said (whined/cried) "I don't want to go back to school. I want to stay in L.A." when she got cut. We didn't see her singing at all.

Janine is the ex-girlfriend of a guy whose current girlfriend went with her to audition. Ryan tried to stir up trouble (jokingly) between them by claiming they were saying bad things about the other behind their back. Janine sang "At Last", but forgot the words after a line or two. She started over after getting a glare from Simon and was advanced on to Hollywood.

Carmen is the only one we haven't seen on AI2 yet.

The Fox site and TV Guide are now saying 2 finalists, one picked by America and one by the judges. Have they changed their minds again? And do we know how the voting is going to go? I would guess 2 by America, 2 by the judges, but maybe the judges want more control and will pick 3. Any rumors floating around?

I think that was how it was going to me, Opie, until they realised the finalists they had weren't the ones they wanted! Paula Abdul was on an Extra! type show last week and definitely confirmed that there will be four finalists from tonight's show. I think you're right with 2 voted in/2 picked by the judges.

Ooops, no, it's apparently 1 voted in/3 picked by judges!!
