How'd you calculate the results This is how I would do the math: If you have excel, put each contestant at the top of a column, and below them put their scores from each person. Except you'll make two of them - one for public votes, one for judge votes. Do this for everyone who votes. Then highlight all of it and click "average" and it should give you the average score for each person. Add the averages of the judges and the public, and then the highest number is the person with the highest votes, the lowest score is the person with the lowest vote. I hope that helps and makes sense! Let me know if you need any clarification. If you want, I could set it up myself in an excel document and email it to you if that would help. Unless you already have your own way to do it - then ignore this message haha This came from a PM, this is how I did it.

Did I fuck up by picking a song that literally NO ONE (but cm7com) heard, or was it just because I had a sore throat that day?
I lived another day, like Jack Bauer did. But he won't be sold to the Russians this ti

TBH that's just silly. Why have voting if it's not going to amount to anything?
I mean, isn't it always the case in real Idol that you never have two weeks with the top X? We have a top 13, there wouldn't be two weeks of top 13 before people start getting eliminated. The person who came last this week should be eliminated now.

If you're gonna do something, do it properly or don't do it at all. I actually don't watch American Idol so I don't know how it works And I think it's up to icant with how the game works I guess

Not if you have a better-received performance and place higher in the ranking. Suitability can make a HUGE difference if you're not the best technical singer, because if a song works well with the voice you have then it can be a really good performance.

I wouldn't exactly go so far as to say you went 'wrong', GB. It just so happens that there are some quality singers in the mix this season, and someone is unfortunately going to get a lower ranking than they otherwise should have because there's simply not enough room for everyone to rank well. For the record I ranked you higher than the final results put you.
Plus it really does come down to how well performances are received. I was never the best singer in S1 (that was easily then-Will-now-Ava). Week 1, I got trashed and week 2 I apparently was a standout of that round. All I can say is don't dwell on not placing too well this week, because regardless of whether there's an elimination or not you're still here for week 2. You have a chance to turn things around.

It's up to you - I didn't know every song performed this week (and of course nobody would be familiar with an original song, like in Pete's case). IDK what the theme for Week 2 is, you may be doing a more well-known song by necessity.

I'm not going to send Trashynavy home yet only because I've already mentioned that there is no eliminations this week.
Next week will be a Double Elimination.
surfy picklerclarkson Wavey✨️ Juanca carrieidol1 Peterawr nightshade trashynavy @jules Green Baron neally johnm1120 cockiness
This week's theme will be.... U.S./U.K. Billboard #1's You can pick any song that reached #1 from either chart (there's still plenty of variety of what songs you can pick). The deadline is at Wednesday August 13th at 6:00 PM MST, if you submit late, you will receive a penalty (point deduction), and if you do not submit, you will be eliminated.
