The Competition Committee has gone over everyone's entries, and we thought it would be fun to post some trends found in all your picks.
The first thing we did was average out all of the Idols' scores on all 51 of our sheets. This is how the Idols averaged out according to the 51 2007 American Idol Pool picks:
1. Melinda
2. LaKisha
3. Chris R.
4. Chris S.
5. Blake
6. Jordin
7. Stephanie
8. Sabrina (whoopsy)
9. Sundance (whoopsy)
10. Gina
11. Brandon
12. Phil
13. Jared
14. Antonella
15. Sanjaya (whoopsy)
16. Haley (whoopsy)
Going by the list above, here are the people in the pool who have each of these finalists the highest and the lowest...One key note here - there are only 3 people that everyone had in their top 12 (LaKisha, Chris R., and Chris S.). This means that there is a great amount of diversity in all the entries:
1. Melinda
35 people have her #1 (no winners pool payout if she wins). Chris Fitzgerald had her out of the top 12.
2. LaKisha
9 people (Chris F., Christy, Darby, Dina, Karen, Lisa W., Mark, Marsha, and Will) have her #1. Chris S. and Adele have her the lowest at #8.
3. Chris R.
Dave and Jen have him #1. Paul Fioretti has him at #12.
4. Chris S.
Matty and Brooke have him #1. Heather has him at #12.
5. Blake
Paul Peters and Jennie have him #1. 3 people (Chris Fitzgerald, Mark, and Suzanne) had him out of the top 12.
Yes, this means Chris Fitzgerald has neither the pool's #1 nor their #5 choice in his top 12.
6. Jordin
Chris Fitzgerald has Jordin the highest out of everyone at #2. Mike and Kendra had her out of the top 12.
7. Stephanie
Adele has Stephanie the highest at #2. 9 people had her out of their top 12.
8. Sabrina
Liz had Sabrina at #2, so that certainly hurts right out of the gate. 10 people had her out of the top 12 - great calls for you 10!
9. Sundance
Damian and Brooke had Sundance at #2 which hurts just as hard as Liz having Sabrina at #2. 6 people had the foresight to not include him in their top 12.
10. Gina
Meredith is the biggest Gina fan. She has her at #1. 10 people had her out of the top 12.
11. Brandon
Milly, the pool's youngest contestant this season, has Brandon the highest at #2. 9 people had him out of the top 12.
12. Phil
Mark has Phil higher than anyone else at #2. 26 people had him out. So, about 1/2 the pool was wrong on Phil.
13. Jared
Last year's #51, Peter B., had Jared the highest at #4. Unfortunately for Peter, Jared didn't make the top 12. 21 people had him out of the top 12.
14. Antonella
Mark had Antonella the highest at #6. She didn't make the cut, though, and 25 people called that correctly.
15. Sanjaya
Chris S. is the biggest fan of the little creepy freak Sanjaya. He has him at #7. 35 people, about 2/3 of the pool, had him out.
16. Haley
Only 4 people had Haley in the top 12 - Brooke, Chris F., Kendra, and Mark. No one has her higher than Brooke, who has her at #5. The remaining 47 people were dead wrong about Haley. Amazing.
Have any questions about peoples' picks? Post it here, and we'll address them.

Let me go on the record: It's not the most accurate phrasing to say that I'm the "biggest fan" of Sanjaya. Probably all 15 semifinalists were better -- and then some. I just think he's going to be this year's Scott Savol.
And yes, I know what you meant by "biggest fan." And yes, I'm defensive.
No one loves Sanjaya as much as Chris Serico.
Noooooo!
More "Idol" commentary here, peeps.
Re: Haley: Apparently most of us underestimated the power of the sorority girl/pageant wanna-be vote.
I know I'm monopolizing the comments section, but I had an idea of how to handle the Winners Pool Payout if (and when) Melinda wins:
I thought the charity concept was a great idea, so I think we should have the person with the highest score *of* those 35 people pick a charity. Assuming the organizing committee is OK with said charity, the money would go there. Yes?
I like Serico's idea here.....Can the Master please take notice of this thread?
