IDOL LIVE predix: Top 7 Results

After a less-than-stellar showing last night, the Top 7 should eagerly await the opportunity to cut one of its own loose to whittle down the competition. Tonight should see another unsurprising exit unless the judges act out of character and decide to use their save power.

At this point, the next four results shows will most likely be giant wastes of time ahead of the inevitable final three contestants, so things look to be boring till then.

Here are my predictions for the Top 8 results:

Bottom 3
>Anoop, Kris, Matt

Bottom 2
>Kris, Matt

Eliminated
>Matt

Matt has been barely coasting these past few weeks and his time will run out tonight. It's not that he's unlikable, because he is. It's just that he comes across as boring and bland in comparison to the rest of the pack, and his performances have been inconsistent from week to week, which also happens to be Kara's main complaint.

Kris will land in the Bottom 2 because there aren't many options at this point that would not cause a major shock, so even though he actually did very well he will have to grin and bear it. Plus, it helps his fans wake up and pull double duty next week. And Anoop will be there as the third member of the Bottom 3 just because he always is.

Now, tonight Ryan will most likely divide six of the Top 7 into two groups, most likely pairing Anoop, Kris and Matt and Allison, Danny and Lil. Then he will ask Adam to choose which group he thinks got the higher votes, and for him to join that group. Adam will then sit or stand in the center of the stage and refuse to pick a group, although it would show he has guts if he were to actually choose one.

In my original predictions, I had Matt going home, which would be my first correct original prediction this season among the Top 13. Good news for me but obviously not for Matt and friends.
