Oh, hell. I don't know know. I'm still thinking about Michael in a skin suit.
Hmm. Kim kicked all our asses last year and she's picking Ramiele as number two... that's very interesting.

Fair amount of guesswork involved...
Incidentally, my own annual pool starts tonight over on my Idol blog. I haven't posted this year's rules yet as I type this, but they'll be up by the time tonight's show ends, and they'll be essentially the same as last year's rules.
Shmuel, I've been checking in over the past couple of days! I'll definitely be playing this year. And interesting pick for #1--I tentatively have her as my runner up.
Heh, I have watched about two episodes this season. Here you go:
1. David Archuleta
2. Carly Smithson
3. Brook White
4. Michael Johns
5. David Cook
6. Jason Castro
7. Syesha Mercado
8. Ramiele Malubay
9. Amanda Overmyer
10. David Hernandez
11. Chikezie Eze
12. Kristy Lee Cook
After tonight's performances by Chikezie and David Cook - I wish I could revise my order. They totally blew me away. And Carly - Wow! I'm eager to see how the rest of the kids do!
My really long-winded rationale is below.
1. David Archuleta
2. Brooke White
3. David Cook
4. Carly Smithson
5. Jason Castro
6. Amanda Overmeyer
7. Michael Johns
8. Chickeze
9 Ramiele
10. Kristy Lee Cook
11. David Hernandez
12. Syesha
First of all, I think Archuleta takes it this season. I know he's the early favorite and they sometimes burn out, but he's got the vote of the tween segment and I think he's, like, the male version of Hannah Montana. Plus, he can actually sing. So all my other picks stem from this, my most confident pick: Archuleta wins.
As longtime readers will remember, I have a demographic theory. Quite simply, the runner-up is always of a different race or gender, or both. Kelly/Justin, Ruben/Clay, Fantasia/Diana, Carrie/Bo, Taylor/Kat, Jordin/Blake. Every single season for six seasons now. I do think that if this pattern is going to break, this is the season for it. There are at least two white guys other than Archuleta who seem very strong: David Cook and Jason Castro. That said, I think the pattern will hold, and I don't think David Hernandez or Chickeze has a chance. Which leaves me with the question of which girl to put in that spot.
I was going to say Carly, but here's where the "go against your instincts" thing comes into play. I loved Chris Daughtry and he got voted off, and I have a feeling Carly is another Daughtry. Which means I'm going to say Brooke White is in the finale with David. I'm taking a risk here, but... well, there it is. I think she's good, and I think she's got the momentum to go all the way to the finale and then... lose.
So that leaves us with Carly as this year's "shocking boot" ala LaToya and Tamyra and Melinda and Daughtry. That puts her probably in fourth place, with either David Cook or Jason Castro in third. (In previous seasons the shocking boots have finished 4, 5, 4, 4, 3. I'm skipping season four, becuase I don't think there was a shocker. That was a pretty weak season; the only one I liked was Bo, and now that Daughtry is on my radar, I could care less about him.)
Moving on, we have the polarizing person who overstays his or her welcome--the Sanjaya, if you will. This person often leaves in sixth place, although sometimes they hang on longer. This season I think it's Amanda Overmeyer, and I think she's gone in sixth, if not seventh place. I think from there, it just becomes a question of who is cannon fodder and who is going to hang on longer.
This is not what I want... but it is what I think it will be. Though this year I really wouldnt have a clue.

3. Carly Smithson
4. David Cook
5. Ramiele Malubay
6. Michael Johns
