From the commissioner's sister- SPOILER ALERT!

SPOILER ALERT!
Melissa's in Las Vegas right now working an event


SPOILER ALERT! SCROLL DOWN TO READ





























SHOCKED! I have just informed Melissa of the results and she is SHOCKED! Her jaw dropped when I told her. Tonight we lost Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager (not a surprise), Robbie Carrico, and Alexandrea Lushington. Six teams have been eliminated from the pool. Melissa will do a full update tomorrow.

2.26.08 Boys Performance

Amazing performances by David Cook, David Hernandez, David Archuletta. Lucky name tonight. Archuletta's humble little squints bug me to hell- a little too "Doolittle-ish" for me- but I have to admit... fantastic. Personally I thought the judges are critiquing Robbie Carrico too hard on his "rocker" status. I liked the performance a lot. Not because we have him in our top 3-- I SWEAR. And, although I absolutely cannot stand Jason Yeager and completely agree he is beyond awkward, Simon was absolutely brutal to him. Thought Michael Johns was a bit of a disappointment (expected), thought Jason Castro is just HOT, and I liked Danny Noriega's sweater. That was about it from his performance. Oh... and Chikizee... NTB!

Everyone got very mouthy with Simon tonight. Simon no likey.

Paula's hair was a huge improvement from last week.

Signing off. Gotta go watch QUARTERLIFE! Our friend Dave Walton is on it.

TIE BREAKER

Both Shut Up, Fatso and TheChimp.net made a fourth selection:

Shut Up, Fatso: Michael Johns

2008 American Idol Pool

New players, welcome to the American Idol pool. Old players, welcome back. We have a record breaking number of contestants this year with 22 teams. At $20 per team, that brings the winning pot up to $440- highest pot to date. The draft will begin when the top 20 players remain. What does this mean? It means you should watch closely when the top 24 are selected on wednesday evening, because your winner is in that group. Below is the schedule from now until the time the pool begins.

Tuesday, Feb. 12 (8:00-10:00 PM) Hollywood Round, Part 1 (aired)

Wednesday, Feb. 13 (8:00-9:00 PM) Hollywood Round, Part 2 Top 24 Semifinalists Announced

Tuesday, Feb. 19 (8:00-10:00 PM) Top 12 Male Singers Perform

Wednesday, Feb. 20 (8:00-10:00 PM) Top 12 Female Singers Perform

Thursday, Feb. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM) First Results Show (ET live/PT tape-delayed) Two Male and Two Female Contestants Voted Off

The day after the top 20 are announced, the pool will begin with a draft (draft order will be selected at random and by a 3rd party). Each team will have 1 representative as the spokesperson to select your players. I will be setting up a spreadsheet on Google that each team member will be able to access and follow, so that as it becomes your turn, you will be able to fill in your selection yourself. I'm sure there will be questions, please just let me know who your team captain is and I will explain more thoroughly.

Each team will get 3 picks of Idol contestants- each contestant can be selected 4 times. Once "Lakisha" has been picked 4 times, "Lakisha" is no longer available. Understand? The draft will go in a snake formation, 1-22, 22-1 and 1-22 again.
