And on to our top 13!

#11 (TIE) Nick Mitchell

Average: 5.76/10
Mode: 6
Stdev: Very High (3.09)
Notes:
Second highest standard deviation of all contestants. Recieved five 1s and five 10s.

#11 (TIE) Ju'Not Joyner

Average: 5.76/10
Mode: 8
Stdev: Medium (2.21)
Notes:
Despite having a high average and high mode, no one felt Ju'Not was worthy of a 10.

#11 (TIE) Felicia Barton

Average: 5.76/10
Mode: 7, 8
Stdev: High (2.47)
Notes:
Again, no one felt Felicia deserved a 10. Felicia/Ju'Not were nearly tied for the entire time, with 60% giving them scores within 1 point of each other.

#10 Alexis Grace

Average: 5.83/10
Mode: 7
Stdev: High (2.47)
Notes:
Received ten 7s (or 34.5% of the total), the next most frequent scores for her were 3, 6, and 8 all with 10% representation.

#9 Kristen McNamara

Average: 6.03/10
Mode: 5, 8
Stdev: Medium (2.31)
Notes:
Was another one of those rare few to receive every score from 1-10.

Top 8:
Adam Lambert
Allison Iraheta
Anoop Desai
Jesse Langseth
Kris Allen
Matt Giraud
Ricky Braddy
Tatiana Del Toro

Interesting to note:
Our top 8 is entirely composed of groups 1 and 2. Allison/Jesse/Matt/Kris/Adam from group 2, Ricky/Tatiana/Anoop from group 1. Five of Sucks' Top 8 overlaps with the actual top 8. It's interesting to note that the other two are the two who just got phone interviews on Idolatry. Maybe Slezak stuffed the voting box?

Any bets on the order?

Releasing the next batch of contestants because I can (and because I don't particularly care about these two).

Starting with the contestant where battle lines will clearly be drawn...
#7 (TIE) Tatiana Del Toro

Average: 6.14/10
Mode: 10
Stdev: Very High (3.19)
Notes:
Highest standard deviation of any contestant, unsurprisingly. Got seven 10s, five 5s and four 1s. The crazy bitch who actually had a voice definitely divided us.

#7 (TIE) Jesse Langseth

Average: 6.14/10
Mode: 6
Stdev: Medium (2.26)
Notes:
Getting arrested didn't hurt her ratings apparently. Pretty much everyone found her to be an above average contestant (only 20% rated her below a 5).

Top 6!
Adam Lambert
Allison Iraheta
Anoop Desai
Kris Allen
Matt Giraud
Ricky Braddy

This clearly was the year of the men, with 5/6 being guys. Another interesting note... if we credit Lil with 7th place and Anoop with 6th place, then this is almost identical to the show's actual Top 6. The only difference is the substitution of Ricky for Danny. So, I guess, when all is said and done, Sucks seems to largely agree with how things played out in the endgame. Strange, considering how many people were bitching.

For the record, this would be pretty damn close to my top 6 (I'd probably replace Ricky with Felicia, but we got to see so little of her I'm not positive about that).

Top 6! ZOMG!

#6 Matt Giraud

Average: 6.28/10
Mode: 8
Stdev: High (2.55)
Notes:
I didn't realize Matt was so popular 'round these parts. All but 5 people thought he was above average. Of the five people who thought he was below average, four gave him a 1 (hence the high standard deviation).

#5 Ricky Braddy

Average: 6.48/10
Mode: 8
Stdev: High (2.56)
Notes:
Down goes the last remaining semi-finalist!


And who just narrowly misses the top 3?

#4 Anoop Desai

Average: 6.97/10
Mode: 7
Stdev: Medium (1.88)
Notes:
Anoop was the ONLY contestant to receive NO 1s. He fell into the 6-10 category 83% of the time. Sucks loves themselves some Anoop.

Of course, that means we have our predictable top 3 of Adam/Kris/Allison. Oh, how I wish that was the case in reality...

Ricky Braddy being in the Top 5 is retarded. He sang 2 songs.

Most overrated contestant of AI8 next to Alexis.

Agree on both accounts. Ricky never really popped out for me and I thought Alexis got really shouty and wavered with pitch problems when she attempted to belt (which was all the time).
