For my next trick (I'm blindfolded right now)... I will give you the finishing order of the final contestants on American Idol. Yes I know, I don't have to do this, but I want to help... I know the suspense is killing you.
6) Syesha Mercado -- Mercado gets drilled tonight by the judges. America listens and obeys.
5) Carly Smithson -- Carly may have a better future than most of this list, but she hasn't completely gelled yet on A.I.
4) Jason Castro -- The weeping girls of our nation carry him farther than he deserves.
3) Brooke White -- With Kristy Lee gone, Brooke's voting pool becomes stronger.
2) David Archuleta -- Archuleta fatigue sets in, and the early favorite finishes second. I'd push him third, but no one else is a threat.
1) David Cook -- Unless he gets too strange, he should win it all.
So I missed the first week, which means I'll get this next week wrong, too. At least I had Carly as #5 (when she ended up #6).

So how'd I do?
1) Cook -- check
2) Archuleta -- check
3) White -- no, was Syesha
4) Castro -- check
5) Smithson -- no, Brooke
6) Syesha -- no, Smithson
Not bad. In exact order I was 3 for 6.
