Ryan asks who's leaving Idol this week
On twitter:
ryanseacrest: havent seen idol results yet, but I have a feeling its gonna be close. Any guesses?…who do u thinks going home? – ryan
Following a quick question to my MSN contacts I got three votes for Alexis Grace, two for Megan Joy, and one each for Scott MacIntyre and Allison Iraheta.
Results
We’ve just run a ‘quick and dirty’ analysis on the responses in the first couple of hours, and this is what we’re seeing:
- Michael Sarver (187)
- Megan Joy (97)
- Adam Lambert (96)
- Alexis Grace (93)
- Scott MacIntyre (84)
- Lil Rounds (48)
- Anoop Desai (29)
- Allison Iraheta (26)
- Matt Giraud (15)
- Kris Allen (15)
- Danny Gokey (13)
How we got the results
We ran a text analysis on the replies to get a count of each mention of the contestants’ names, including variations on spelling and descriptives (‘blind guy’, ‘pink streaks’), adjusted for duplicate names in the same tweet, then ran a sentiment analysis to adjust for those who’d replied saying which contestant they liked rather than which they thought would be eliminated.
