Here is the Facebook Fan graph I just compiled with the latest fan numbers this morning. Since I now have the numbers from April 1 and 6 to go along with today, we can see some interesting trends. The most noticeable change in the past 9 days is how Lee's count (now 24,208) had started near Siobhan's count (now 18,301), then it came up to Katie's (currently 20,687) and passed it and is now approaching Aaron's (26,204). In fact Lee has the highest increase of anybody except Crystal who just keeps on gaining more and more FB fans (now at 52,439). Andrew (41,970) and Casey (31,105) are also still gaining new fans, but not as quickly as Crystal or Lee. I was curious what would happen to Mike in the past couple days after his near departure on Wednesday night, but his number (5,044) still trails even Tim (12,834) substantially. My guess is he will not last much longer on the show, which again shows that vocal talent and popularity are not necessarily correlated. However, since Andrew was in the bottom two this week, Facebook fan count obviously does not match the total voting counts on the show. This week's HCD Poll results also does not correlate well with the Facebook fan numbers, even if it did pick, two of the bottom three correctly this week (Aaron and Andrew). The HCD results, however, put Big Mike safely in the middle of the contestants, which definitely proves he does not receive as many repeat votes as contestants like Aaron and Andrew. It was also interesting to note that the number of respondents to the HCD poll continues to fall, from the 7,397 they reported two weeks ago, to 3,418 last week and 3,305 this week. I guess people are getting tired of the poll. even if it only takes 10 seconds to do it.
