Greetings Fellow Idol Watchers! The new season of Idol has been underway for quite some time now and we’re finally down to the final 12, so I decided that this year we’d have some fun and add friendly competition to the mix! I haven’t figured out the grand prize yet, but bragging rights are a definite!! I’ll DEFINITELY throw in a bigger prize, here’s how it works:
TO PLAY: list the order you believe the contestants will leave the show. Points are earned for contestants picked to stay at a value equal to the round. Confusing enough? Let me try to help.
For example, if Crystal “There’s no such thing as toothpaste” Bowersox were to make the final twelve, you may be inclined to pick her to be the first to leave. If you are correct, you would earn one point apiece for the contestants not chosen to leave. That equals 11 points. If someone other than Crystal “Dirty hair is how I roll” Bowersox were to leave, you would have only earned 10 points. Round 2 is scored the same at two points per remaining contestant. You do not earn points for people you had previously picked to depart the show. The total number of points which can be earned from start to finish is 286.
Still confused? I thought so. Just fill out the entry sheet, e-mail it to idolpool@sound-savvy.com and I’ll take care of the math and provide weekly updates here on Sound-Savvy. If you have trouble downloading the form (It’s a Google Doc) send an email to idolpool@sound-savvy.com and I’ll email you the form! Your entries will go into a spreadsheet that will be updated weekly as well so you can see how much you’re beating the competition — and talk junk on Twitter!
