American Idol Top 6 Numbers
Now that we are down to 6 contestants we can see how the Las Vegas line has changed. Since Pia was eliminated, their odds have been quite accurate in who would be eliminated, first with Paul and then with Stefano. If they continue on their streak Jacob Lusk should be next to depart. However, Jacob's odds to win have actually improved from before elimination day from 25/1 to 18/1, but he remains the long shot to win. As for the favorites, they keep switching positions. On Thursday morning James Durbin had moved ahead of Scotty McCreery as the favorite, but since Scotty was able to not fall in the bottom 3 after his lackluster performance on Wednesday, his odds have actually improved from 9/4 to 2/1. James Durbin saw his odds shift behind Scotty's from 3/2 to 9/4. Lauren Alaina saw her odds improve slightly from 3/1 to 5/2 as did Casey Abrams who moved from 10/1 to 15/2. With her bottom 3 appearance Haley skidded backwards from 12/1 to 15/1, putting her in the 5th slot, only in front of Jacob. If we check the WhatNotToSing.com scores, we see Haley came out on top but still landed in the bottom 3.
What does Haley have to do to not end up in the bottom 3? It seems that she may be one to depart after Jacob's probable departure next week. It seems it does not matter how well she performs, she always ends up in the bottom 3. And Scotty can perform horribly and still end up safe.
