Before tonight's American Idol elimination episode, Bodog.com has posted updated odds on who will win the full competition as well as who will be eliminated tonight. After the performances last night, the big loser appears to be Jacob Luck, possibly more with his "look in the mirror" comment than with his actual performance. His odds of winning have slipped from 10/1 to 14/1 moving him to 7th position behind Haley Reinhart who is now in 6th position. Haley's odds continue to improve as they shifted from 16/1 to 12/1. Last night also Scotty moved back into lone 2nd place since he improved from 7/2 to 3/1, while James Durbin slipped from 7/2 to 9/2 to be alone in 3rd. They are still close but Scotty has a slight edge. The bottom two long shots, Paul and Stefano have also shifted. On April 1 they were both at 25/1, but Paul has improved to 16/1 while Stefano has fallen back to 35/1.
As for who will be eliminated tonight the odds on favorite is currently Stefano Langone with 3/2 elimination odds. Paul and Jacob are tied for second with 3/1 odds with Haley right behind them at 4/1. Even the favorites have seen there elimination chances increasing with Lauren dropping from 14/1 to 10/1, James moving from 16/1 to 10/1, and even Pia seeing her long shot odds dropping from 50/1 to 30/1 for elimination.
Another interesting poll of "experts" has tried to guess who is going home tonight on zap2it.com. With 29 people casting votes the most selected contestant is Stefano with 13 picks, followed by Jacob with 7 and Paul with 4. There are also 2 vote each for Haley and James and one for Casey.
Of course, we all know who really should have been eliminated from last night's show -- Gwen Stefani for dressing the ladies. Ugh!
