Bye Bye Andrew and Katie!

I was impressed that the bottom two that I selected in my previous posting were actually the two that were eliminated. I had expected Andrew to be one of the two, but Katie's departure was definitely not as certain. I also received a message from HCD Research/Mediacurves giving their results from their Idol Democracy poll where every person can only have one vote. I decided to graph their trends over the five past weeks to visually see the numbers better than their chart of numbers. If you look at my graph above you will see that Aaron Kelly has consistently run at the bottom of their poll, but we know he is still around. He is definitely one who benefits from many multiple voters. Now that Andrew is gone he will be dwelling at the bottom of the vote graph alone. You can also note the two peaks Lee and Casey have enjoyed, Lee's two weeks ago and Casey's last week, but then they both fell down into the pack, with Mike having a slight peak this week. Siobhan has been in a slow descent from four weeks ago, until now she is nestled amongst the pack between 8 and 12 percentage points. And through it all the consistent winner for the poll has remained Crystal whose advantage has actually been increasing the past two weeks as the others fight for a few percentage points. Andrew and Katie accounted for about 15 percentage points between the two of them, and it will be interesting to see who gains from their departure.
