Rate & Predict American Idol

In the week that they were eliminated, the contestant has performed either at the beginning or toward the middle of the show.  This definitely suggests that performance order matters in how people vote.

You only have 2 hours to vote right after the show, and it’s so much easier to remember the those who performed last than those who performed first.

Also note that the bottom 3 this week was Anoop (performed 1st), Megan (2nd), and Allison (4th).

Here were the performance orders of eliminated contestants during the week they got booted.

• Jasmine Murray (5th of 13)
• Jorge Nunez (9th of 13)
• Alexis Grace (7th of 11)
• Michael Sarver (6th of 10)
• Megan Joy (Corkrey) (2nd of 9)
