And contestant #12 is gone.

Virgin-busting points to all who had Melissa McGhee

I get a point for having her at #11.

If I’d ranked them after last night’s performances, I would have had her at 12. She pretty much asked to be sent home.

Melissa McGhee is eliminated and finishes 12th, becoming American Idol’s sixth official Weasel:

2002: E.J. Day and Jim Verraros
2003: Vanessa Olivarez
2004: Leah Labelle
2005: Lindsey Cardinale
2006: Melissa McGhee

Getting the full 3 points: RickJay, Yellowval, Reloy3, vivalostwages, MsWhatsit, Liberal, RachelChristine, Millit the Frail, Mahaloth, Eleusis, vaderspal, jsgoddess, Only Mostly Dead, Happy Lendervetter, Diogenes the Cynic, scotandrsn, Biggirl, follsguinea. A number of others got the consolation point for picking her 11th.

Obviously, Melissa was by far the consensus lowest pick by the group.

This was a Goooooogle ad:
Kellie or Katharine?
What the %8*:% &#^^?

I “voted” for Katharine and was taken to this interesting page:

Kellie’s bar, representing FEWER VOTES (49% vs. Kathy’s 51%), is nine times as long as Katharine’s!

Edwart Tufte just shat himself.

bump for tonight’s scoring…

Dammit! I didn’t like the kid, but I wasn’t banking on him leaving for another three weeks!

Kevin Covais is eliminated 22/3/06, finishing 11th.

Picking Kevin 11th and thus getting the full 3 points: RickJay, yellowval, mswhatsit, Mahaloth, Eleusis, jsgoddess, vivalostwages, scotandrsn, Reloy3.

Many posters picked Kevin 10th or 12th and so get the consolation point.

I won’t post any standings until we get through four or five weeks, but so far with the full possible six points - and therefore in a position to get turkey points next week - are all the persons listed above, every one of whom correctly guessed Melissa would finish 12th.

Even worse for me. I had him leaving in two weeks. I can’t get the one-off pity point, but I was so close!

I picked Kevin too.

I’m doing about as well as I do in my football pools.

Sorry, I got thrown by your two lists when I was scanning the thread. MY spreadsheet caught it. You’re also one of the six-pointers, so you earn three plus the turkey point next week if Bucky gets his ticket.

So my husband is right and I do make things more difficult than they should be!

whee! I got a pity point! :dances:

So far I’m doing better than I usually do in these things…

Lisa Tucker is eliminated March 29, finishing 10th.

Correctly guessing Miss Tucker’s departure, and getting the full three;

Millit the Frail.

And that’s it. Nobody else picked Lisa 10th.

The leader is now jsgoddess, who picked Lisa 9th for the consolation point and now has 7 points. Nobody else who got the first two eliminations right got a consolation point.

Lisa is the first contestant eliminated who was picked to win in this thread.

If I win this thing, it will be both sad and the greatest accomplishment of my life! Woo! :smiley:

How could anyone know she’d give up?

Woohoo!

Now I have to get Bucky to leave next week, because that’s where I had Kevin. (Bucky was #11 on my list.) GO HOME BUCKY! (I’m sure you’re a very nice guy, but I need my points for all of the top eight!)
