Pie chart of DialIdol.com Raw Voting Numbers

Now that each contestant has two phone numbers to call, it makes reviewing the DialIdol data a bit tougher to read. For example, using raw numbers of votes last night, Lee's phone numbers ended up in third and fifth place, but Casey's ended up in second and sixth place. So I decided to just add them up and find a percentage to get a better picture of how the total DialIdol votes added all together:

1) Crystal: 19,237 + 13,571 = 32,808 votes (32.8%)
2) Lee: 13,410 + 11,735 = 25,145 votes (25.1%)
3) Casey: 14,067 + 8,936 = 23,003 votes (23.0%)
4) Aaron: 6,715 + 5,341 = 12,056 votes (12.1%)
5) Mike: 4,433 + 2,538 = 6,971 votes (7.0%)

There were a total of 99,983 votes which made the percentages very easy to calculate! I noticed the total number of DialIdol votes has been going down the last few weeks having been over 110,000 last week and over 126,000 the week before. I wonder if some people are no longer voting now that their favorites are gone (i.e. Siobhan and Tim). We can also pull the raw numbers from last week as a comparison:

1) Lee: 14,088+13,001 = 27,089 (24.3%)
2) Siobhan: 13,296 + 10,166 = 23,462 (21.2%)
3) Crystal: 12,591 + 9,075 = 21,666 (19.6%)
4) Casey: 11,294 + 7,946 = 19,240 (17.4%)
5) Aaron: 7,264 + 4,756 = 12,020 (10.9%)
6) Mike: 3,874 + 3,185 = 7,059 (6.4%)

There are some interesting changes from last week to this week. Lee's total DialIdol count actually went down from 27,089 to 25,145, probably because his fans now think he is safe. Crystal's numbers, however, went way up from 21,666 to 32,808 for probably the exact opposite reason with her fans afraid she might fall to the bottom three. And Siobhan's good showing last week demonstrates how atypical the DialIdol using population must be since she was eliminated while placing in second place. Mike and Aaron show very consistent DialIdol numbers from week to week and they obviously have a lot more voters in real life than are represented in DialIdol. It will be interesting to see tonight's results to see who is in the bottom three. My guess is still Mike, Aaron and Casey in the bottom three with Casey going home.
