There are some people on this list that I'm feeling one of these feelings about: Shocked, Confused, Not surprised, Enraged, Glad, VICTORY!, I want to punch Pacitti, and Constipation.
Also, SADNESS, Cody didn't make it! I would have loved to see what antics he could cook up, and personally, he's a better decision than Tatiana, in my opinion. But, he can always try again.

Found proof that one contestant is definitely in final 36. Idol camera crews were in his hometown today.

if tantrum is right about 3 groups of 12 with only 3 going through, then we need to be very strategic about our choices. we need to start seriously honing in on our favorite vftw picks. i believe that they are trying to confuse us so that none of our favorites go through this year (which would be a shame b/c this season could be "one of the best evar!").

If the list is correct, then Nick/Norman and Tatiana should be picks b/c Nick is obviously a worster who is being put through to take simon's smart ass comments and tatiana is a train wreck. after the show, von will be on rosie's cruise ships singing show tunes so he is obviously a pick. after that, adam? jackie? lil? i like adam from the start but since he already has a semi-career, perhaps he's not the best pick. jackie seems like a train wreck and i appreciate that. lil rounds is one of the worst singers i've seen on the show.

anyway, PLEASE! we need guidance. please start the vftw voting based on the top 36 after the wed show and we should go with the top 4 votes.

anyone else have a favorite that's not on my radar? i can't believe Alexander Wagner-Trugman got through...he's prolly a nice guy but he SEEMS SO BORING!

I'm thinking they might put all the VFTW possibilities in the same group of 12, thus completely limiting who can make it numbers-wise. I agree we should try to get as many potential VFTW picks through however. I'll have all my phones charged and ready to go...just awaiting my orders! ;)

Same here, just waiting for worster pick. Whatever they do, there's always some stealth worster potential (Adam will make it to top 5 for sure).

We won't know for sure who our pick is for the first group of 12 until we see tham all perform. The same with the next 2 groups. Check back here at the end of the shows to see who we're voting for that night.

like seriously i don't pay attention to names much because everyone on this season are HORRIBLE. i only recognize a few names but the rest like seriously who the hell are they??? they all suck anyways so it doesn't matter. all i care about is getting joanna "failed career" paccitti out of the competition!!! she doesn't deserve to be on AI... i would so love it if she was one of the first few to be voted off AI!

You just know that cheater Pacitter is going to blow up a storm when even the Canadian TV media are picking up on the story.
