Dave I like the plan, it's nice and simple like . Only unlike her, it just might work this year!

Have you been watching the show?

^ yes, actually. And are you suggesting that every single one of the other contestants are unarguably, significantly better than him?

I don't think this has been mentioned elsewhere. The latest newsstand copy of Entertainment Weekly lists the final 12 AI contestants thusly -

1. Crystal

2. Siobhan

3. Michael

4. Lee

5. Didi

6. Tim !!!

7. Aaron

8. Andrew

9. Casey

tied for last

10. Katie

10. Lacey

10. Paige

I seem to recall that Janay Castine didn't exactly have the worst voice in the contest either back in the day, but her utter lack of live performance ability and deer-in-the-headlights stare made her an obvious Vote for the Worst pick. If it all came down to who had the worst voice each week, the site would have to consider some of the judges' favorite contestants, which would defeat the purpose of the site.

That said, Tim Urban has an OK voice, no stage presence, and managed to brutally massacred a mediocre pop song his first week on the show. He hasn't done much better since. I support this pick more than any other since . Without the constant sass-back and nails-on-a-chalkboard speaking voice, Timmeh's going to hang around a few more weeks than she did, at least.

Genius! Of course, those with a wicked streak (like me) can read that first sentence a lot of different ways.

That scepter has nothing to do with fighting AIDs. It was the only thing of value the little kid owned and TIM just swindled him out of it by trading for that stupid green smiley sticker stuck to the kid's forehead. Tim is holding up his prize and grinning like a fool.

It's really gonna come down to Lee keeping Tmmeh out of the Final 4 slot.

Didi won't be a threat for too long since she has absolutely no stage presence and she's a one-trick pony singer. Same with Lee come to think of it, but the tweens will keep him in for awhile longer by looks alone.

If Timbo can knock the big guy down, the two "untouchables" may be in trouble. Right Simon?....

< "That said, thank GAWD this is my last bloody season!"

I would argue this, but I can't remember the non-boring contestants.

Shiboing is flaky, does that = interesting? Plus she's too good for VFTW.

Then there's the sick girl who sings last every night, interesting? Not for me.

There are still 10 left right? (thinking ...) Not supporting the drunk driving blond guy that Kara drooled on.

Nope, I'm good with eye popping (when he keeps getting advanced, not his nakid pics) fundie kid. Maybe he'll sing a church hymn.

Well, you guys are pulling out all the stops for Tim Urban and I applaud the efforts! Victory indeed for VFTW. And to those nefarious ones trying to mock the site for backing a Christian, we all know the devil works in mysterious ways, you hell spawn! God is on our side! (sarcasm)
