This week, Amberly left after singing first. The previous week, it was Mark who sang first and left. And just before that, Sebastian sang first and was out of here.

The spot is CURSED.

Or is it that the producers put the person that they hate first?

Discuss.

Although Amberly irriated me less than some of the other contestants, I believe it was the channeling of Elvira that did her in yesterday.

Do a lot of Canadians suffer from ADD? That might explain it.

Amborely only gave one performance where she really got into it, the rest were just snore-inducing.

I think it's just coincidence. I've noticed that most voters in Canada who aren't voting regionally are quite fickle, and won't hold on to a favorite.

All three contestants started off reasonably strong in the beginning, and all three faltered towards the end of their respective tenures. People simply lost interest.

As opposed to Americans, who pick a favorite right off the bat and stay with that favorite, no matter what.

HEY! I resent that remark! How dare you label some Canadians with a disorder just because - OOH! A quarter!

Have to agree with Insane. They do seem pretty fickle. Take the Amberly Frau for instance. She hunts them all down not just one.

As for the first spot, It does seem to be a curse. Hopefully next week it will change so it's not predictable who leaves.

Maybe a lot are voting based on who they thought had the better performance of the night...

Who knows...as I've said before, not even one of the CI top 24 would make the top 50 of AI (er - I just remembered Titty and I have no idea how far she got in AI, so don't mind me. Carry on!)

I think by singing first you set the mark for comparison.

With the remaining grp .. it won't matter really ... Antoiletta

Well, considering the judges comments this week, I guess we'll know if
TPTB mean for it to be cursed if Drew goes first.

That's why Earl skipped over going first or second after getting the pimp spot and why Mookie always performs late in the show. The producers don't rig the votes, they're influencing the votes by performance order. Laugh

I predict that Drew goes first next week and gets the worst song. Drew is definitely not a Plant .

They love him about as much as Simon loved Sanjaya .

Just wait for this week, and we'll see. Honestly, 4 times in a row is too much for coincidence. Chile

Well, poor Earl got it tonight. Is it over for our favorite snowboarding backhoe stoner?

I think that Earl delivered a decent performance, along with Drew. All others are in trouble, but mostly:

Theo. He was decent last week, but I did not like this at all.

Mookie. Terrible vocal.

I wouldn't say Mookie has ever had a great vocal - but he's got a bit of charisma or something that fools people into believing they can understand his mumbling. Subliminal mumbling- 'Vote for me, Vote for me'. Chile

First spot is cursed..but not 100% of the time.
Thankfully Theo was boring. That could save Earl.

I think the producers had no choice but to put Earl first. He dodged the bullet by having the producers put him far from first last week.

I also think they are looking ahead to the next two weeks.
By giving Drew pimp spot they can stick him #1 next week. They are probably more concerned with who they can potentially sabotage the next twp weeks. Now they have Drew and Mitch to serve the next two death spots.

Consider yourself lucky. I got Smeg Neufeld, the most detestable CI contestant ever!
