After watching the youtube performances earlier today, I can't say there was anything much to be impressed with. I thought that from worst to best performance my rating would be: Jason, Syesha, Brooke, David A., Carly, David C.
A lot of confusion in the "to be eliminated tonight" wagering today. I put some bids out in the exchanges earlier today and was pleasently surprised at what low odds people were willing to pay, i.e. +200 for Syesha, +200 for Jason, +200 for Carly and +150 for Brooke. If you add that up, that means for every $140 I took in, I'll have to pay out $100 to the backer of the correct eliminated person, and keep $40 for myself, no risk invloved. Unless David A. or David C. get eliminated, in which case everything stays in my account (if they gotta go, why not tonight!?).
Any one of those 4 has good reason to leave tonight. Jason (currently around +350 to be eliminated tonight, now that the market has settled) was just totally off last night. Syesha (+500 to leave) looked great and showed some life on stage for a change, but she has been in the bottom 3 a lot and after two weeks of surprise eliminations she can't be feeling that safe. Carly (+200 to leave) is at the bottom of dialidol, but I thought she did a good job and she's been at the bottom before, and Brooke (+150 to leave) her performance was so-so, neglecting the song re-start, but she is the new poster child of VFTW so that may help her a bit.
Very very tough to call on the elimination tonight, can't say there's much value in any of them, maybe with Syesha if you can get +600 or better, IMHO.
Nice job again you guys.
