Every year, we auction off the official VFTW caricatures on eBay with all of the money going to the artist, Laura Hawbaker. Laura does an outstanding job creating the artwork for this website and often does these drawings within a few hours' notice to make sure we have something great to put on the site. These are one of a kind items, no other copies exist anywhere, so you will own the only physical copy of these drawings. They come with a ceritificate of authenticity and they make a great gift... or something to just keep for yourself. So bid today on these items. They end Wednesday during Idol's finale, so we'll keep reminding you to bid and own a piece of VFTW history. Enjoy!

Kris Allen ? Tatiana Del Toro ? Kara DioGuardi ? Normund Gentle ? Matt Giraud ? Danny Gokey ? Megan Joy ? Scott MacIntyre ? Lil Rounds ? Ryan Seacrest

Oh hell no. Lil Rounds is gone, and the bottom 3 are the non-white contestants. AMERICA IS RACIST! And God said let there be light... skinned people. America puts on its KKK hood and eliminates the 2 darker skinned contestants. The judges save the white guy and let the others go home. Now we're stuck with 4 white dudes and a 40 year old red head. America, what have you done? Listen to the radio show at 10 PM Eastern and help us decide who's next.

Last night, after Lil Rounds performed and the judges ripped her apart, someone yelled something from the audience. Whitney Pastorek at EW wrote in her recap that it was someone from the Rounds clan yelling, "Karaoke don't sound like that!" We love the VFTW families, they're always sassing the judges and telling them off. First Megan's brother, then Lil's family. We love you, Lil's family. Also a big shoutout to Lil's mom. Her eye rolls and boisterous behavior last night were definitely a fitting response to the judges' stupid critiques. Lil's mom is awesome, and we can only hope we get to see her again next week if Lil survives.

The folks over at DialIdol predict who might go home each week based on busy signals for each contestant. A busy signal means a large number of people are calling, thus they are probably receiving more votes than others. This week some errors happened with Lil's voting, catapulting her into the #1 spot on DialIdol. But some adjustments were made due to the fact that some of Lil's voters seemed to get an incredibly high number of busy signals that wouldn't make much sense. That led to a revised chart (pictured: left) that now has Lil in the second position. Lil is still in danger of course due to margin of error, but we wanted to let you know that an adjustment had been made. Cross your fingers for Lil!
