JoesPlace has released 18 of the top 24 and also named 5 people who were cut (the site seems to be overloaded with traffic!). Jessica Cunningham and Eryn Kelly were cut (no shock, we haven't seen them), Hoillie Cavanagh was cut (boring), and John Wayne Schulz was cut (haha, frauen) but the big news is that Chris Medina was cut. This was brilliant on the producers' part. Chris would've gotten to the end of the show without even trying based on the pimping of his handicapped fiancee, so kicking him out now saved us months of agony and boredom. Nice call, Nigel!

The contestants who have made it to the top 24 so far are:

1. Ashthon Jones
2. Brett Loewenstern
3. Casey Abrams
4. Clint Jun Gamboa
5. Jacee Badeaux
6. James Durbin
7. Jordan Dorsey
8. Jovany Barreto
9. Julie Zorrilla
10. Karen Rodriguez
11. Kendra Chantelle
12. Lauren Alaina
13. Lauren Turner
14. Naima Adedapo
15. Pia Toascano
16. Rachel Zevita
17. Robbie Rosen
18. Scott McCreery

There are still 6 more contestants to figure out. If you know who made it, send us a letter at mail@votefortheworst.com. Anonymity guaranteed.

Just after the top 20 was decided for American Idol 10, potential semifinalist Jordan Dorsey tweeted this picture of some happy looking Idol contestants. They look a bit too happy to have just been cut, so we think they've made it to the top 20. The picture includes from left to right: Jessica Cunningham (not sure if it's her), Jordan Dorsey, Naima Adedapo, Tim Halperin, and Casey Abrams.

Also, Brett Loewenstern's sister posted a message on Jordan's Facebook saying, "Take care of Brett." So we think he made the top 20 as well. Jordan's Facebook is now private.

Looks like JoesPlace has figured out even more of the American Idol top 40 for season 10. Remember, the top 20 are the contestants we get to vote on. So half of the contestants on this list were probably sent home. Here are the top 40 contestants that we know as of 1/14. If you have any information about these contestants, post in their message board threads here or send an email to mail@votefortheworst.com. Anonymity guaranteed.
