Even though I was a little surprised that Casey Abrams was eliminated tonight instead of Jacob Lusk, I knew Casey only had one or two weeks before it was his time anyway. The bigger question to me is who in the world is actually voting for Jacob Lusk? There must be some people out there who like the way he performs and are voting for him passionately. Tonight's results are quite interesting especially how Ryan kept announcing how the order he was sending people to safety was random. I think everybody knew that Scotty was actually safe, especially Casey himself when it was down to the two of them. It would be interesting to know who were the other bottom 3 besides Casey. In any case, the latest Vegas odds are already out with just the Top 5 now. James has again popped in front of Scotty, but just barely with James at 3/2 (1.5) and Scotty at 7/4 (1.75) odds. Lauren continues to trail them at 7/2 (3.5) and her lack of confidence continues to show when she talks. Haley is next at 16/1 and Jacob is still the long shot, now at 30/1. Almost everybody had picked Jacob as being the one to leave tonight, but Casey was the number two pick in most polls. The Idol experts at Zap2It had selected Jacob Lusk by a wide margin of 19 versus 5 for Casey and one each for Haley, Lauren and Scotty. Jacob must have some very powerful text messaging friends voting for him somewhere!
