Haley Reinhart is #1 - Ranking the American Idol 10 Top 9
Haley Reinhart was the most popular contestant on Rickey.org this week! B-B-B-BENNAY! Haley was #1 in terms of US Unique Pageviews and improves her season average to #7 (tied with Lauren Alaina and Stefano Langone).
Casey Abrams was at #2 - making a strong comeback from last week's near elimination. He improves his season average to #2.
Lauren Alaina climbs to #3 from #10 last week - out of nowhere! Woohoo! Her season average improves to #7 (tied with Haley and Stefano).
Pia Toscano was at #4 (same as last week). Pia remains the front-runner to win American Idol Season 10 as she retains her #1 season average for five weeks in a row. Wow. She has not placed lower than #4 each week.
Thia Megia was at #5 and was eliminated from the competition getting the lowest votes along with Naima.
Paul McDonald was at #6 down from #3 last week. His season average slips to #3.
James Durbin was at #7 down from #2 last week. His season average stays at #4.
Scotty McCreery was at #8 down from #7 last week. His season average stays at #6.
Jacob Lusk drops to #9 from #1 last week. His season average slips to #5.
Stefano Langone was at #10 up from #11 last week. His season average improves to #7 (tied with Lauren and Haley).
Naima Adedapo was at #11 down from #6 last week, and was eliminated from the competition getting the lowest votes along with Thia.
Notes
I'm just happy we were able to save Stefano Langone this week. I am sure it was very close, so thank you. I didn't think Paul McDonald would drop to Bottom 3, but maybe his fans got lazy knowing Vote for the Worst is voting for him. Notice how our #2 and #3 in the season average (Casey and Paul) were at the brink of elimination for the last two weeks. This means something I know it, LOL.
Finally, now that Thia Megia has been voted off, I can stop all this filtering. Without Thia, the US Uniques and the Total Uniques are more in sync with just some minor deviations. For example, if I take Thia out of the chart this week, the rankings for US and Total are virtually the same with just Jacob and Scott switching places. I will let you guys know if there's a big difference between the two numbers next week.
The irony in all this is Thia is actually popular in US Uniques. Her fans just didn't bother to vote for her. She was in the Bottom 3 last week -- why didn't they rally? Were they that over-confident? You have to vote for your favorites guys.
