I have messaged everyone on the list. IF by 12 tomorrow my time (cst) I still have not heard from people I am going to offer their spot up to others who have messaged me or want the spot because we have to have things set in motion by 7pm cst tomorrow for this to work.

If you know these chicks PLEASE let the know, I have messaged everyone atleast once.
Also, if you want their spot please message ALONG WITH about 6-9 of your picks if you are not going to be around.

If you notice I rotated the draft pick order by 4 for each round. Meaning the top 4 in the first round moves down, the bottom 4 move up to the top. In the third round the bottom 4 from round two move up to the top 4. The idea is so everyone gets to be in the top, middle, and bottom once a round.

[Tera, First Chick]

I am going to say if you want to message me your top 3 picks because you may or may not be out through the day do that and if they haven't been picked when it's your turn in the draft round I will plug those names in.

[Tera, First Chick]

pick the top 3 overall. I know they split them up into 3 groups to perform but for our purpose we are just considering the top 3 of the overall 36.
If you send me your top 3 when it comes to your turn in the first round I will plug that name in...if it's taken I will then go to your second pick... if thats taken to your third... if that's taken Ill message you to send me 3 more.
The reason I'm not going with from each group because I'm really not sure if they are going to do a wild card round like they did the last time there were 36 or if they are going to take 4 from each group. This way we kind of cover our bases.

So.... If I haven't made this insanely confusing and you want to get your pick for the first round in message me with your top 3 picks and I will try to plug them in as it comes to your turn in the first round.

Hey Patty... I was really hoping you were Shadowlady because thats what I was going by. To message me click on my name right by my message in this thread. In the shaded bar it says "message 1: by Tera" Click on my name and keep clicking it until you get to my profile page, under my profile click 'send message' and that should take you to a message screen that you can type your message and it will send it to my inbox.

Thanks,
T~

[Holli]

I totally get it now Tera....thanks! I read my TV guide and it says that Tuesday night the first 12 perform and then Wednesday night it says "in the results show...3 are picked and 9 are sent home." I do believe that means they are doing a wild card group too right? :)

I will message you my top 3..........

[Tera, First Chick]

Thats right Teri. Next round youre 5th to pick or if you are going to step away you can message me 3 more of your picks after this round for round 2

[Meg]

OK So teri has Anoop
I pick Adam Lambert

[KrisT]

Okay then I will take Danny Gokey for my first one.

[Tera, First Chick]

KrisT messaged me her picks and her first one was taken already but her second pick was Danny Gokey. So he is off the market now.
I'm next and I'm going with girl power! Jasmine Murray for me.

Holli is up next

[Tera, First Chick]

I just called Emily and she is going with Alexis Grace.

[Tera, First Chick]

once all 3 rounds are over then you will have your FINAL three draft picks. Whichever chick's contestant is the last one standing will get the Amazon.com GC.

[Tera, First Chick]

Okay I've updated the list. Marsha is up next.
To those who have emailed me a list of their next round picks you may want to pick more than 3 a lot of you have chosen the same ones which I imagine some might be begone with the remaining 4 picks tonight.

Marsha you may want to stay close by because you're also up 1st in the second round and I already have Thauna's and Ruth's picks so it will be you and Corinna finishing out the first round before we move on to the second round.

[Marsha]

Oooh, it' so hard to pick -- but I'm going with Scott MacIntyre.

[Tera, First Chick]

I'm checking back between Jack Bauer commercials... the following takes place during the commercial. ding ding ... ding ding

[Thauna]

my turn, my turn!!! I pick Michael Sarver.

[Tera, First Chick]

Corinna is up.. then shes up again

[Meg]

I am doing the same thing Tera, how funny!

[Holli]

Me too!! LOL

[Meg]

Why did Chloe dye her hair black? She was so cute as a blond.

[Tera, First Chick]

I love Tony Almeda but I think hes gonna end up being bad again.

[Meg]

I must say I am surprised at who went in the first round of our pool. Some of the people I didn't expect to see in the first round. Am I the only one?

[Tera, First Chick]

I am so glad it went that way though. I would have felt horribly if everyone wanted the same two and didn't get them. Im glad we are doing top 36

[Marsha]

Actually, most of them are people I would have picked early on.

[Thauna]

I've never watched this level of the competition (to tell the truth). Last season was the first one I watched since season 1...and both of those seasons I didn't watch until final 12.

[Patty]

Yes, but since I was #8 I didn't pick people who I figured would be picked earlier on so I kind of had some "less known" picks. And I may still be rooting for some of the top picks (even if they aren't my picks in this pool).

[Marsha]

Arianna Afsar.

[Tera, First Chick]

Ok chicks, we are getting down to it. Here are the names that are left.


Tatiana Nicole Del Toro
Jeanine Vailes



You may want to message me the list in order of what you want if you are lower down on the list and might be out.

[Marsha]

Mishavonna Henson

[Thauna]

Casey Carlson

[Marsha]

Thauna, I had a very hard time deciding between Casey and Mishavonna.

[Thauna]

LOL, that's funny that I would pick her next then. Great minds. ;o)

[Tera, First Chick]

Ruth is up next.
I have Corrina's pick after Ruth.
I have one possible name left on Teri's list if Ruth doesn't pick it.
Meg is after that.
I have a list from KrisT if no one picks her list.

[Meg]

I am still checking in!

[Ruth]

OK I will choose Ricky Braddy.

[Tera, First Chick]

Final THREE!

[KrisT]

Oh Meg who are you going to pick??? I don't know why no one wants two of those? I will check back.

[KrisT]

Tera are you biting your fingernails???

[Meg]

Alex Wagner-Trugman is my pick.

So what happens if they go with a wild card? Rumors are flowing that Jamar might be a wild card

[Meg]

it was a choice between alex and tatiana, but....I knew how much Tera wanted her

[Tera, First Chick]

I find how it's broken down to be so interesting. By no fault of the contestants for the most part those picked early were the ones that got the most air time. I think and hope there might be some great surprises from those that didn't get all the air time during hollywood week and have only talent and no story or drama. It is a bit difficult when they all have such unequal ammount of air time. We get attached to some of them without really hearing from a lot of them.

[KrisT]

Okay so it is Tatianna and Jeanne right?

[Tera, First Chick]

Yep and the suspense is killing me ;)

[KrisT]

Well I will take Tatianna because I think she can sing and I have not heard that other girl at all but if you really really want her you can have her.

or
flip a coin! ha

[Tera, First Chick]

LOL!
I seriously don't mind having Tatiana. She kinda cracks me up. Truly pick whichever one you want and I am super fine with the one that remains.

[KrisT]

okay if you are serious about really wanting her I will take unknown Jeanne. :P)

[Tera, First Chick]

LOL Ill take her and if by some MIRACLE she wins we will split the GC ;)

[Tera, First Chick]

Meg,
I did some investigation into the Jamar rumor. Rumor has it he is still in LA and something to do with Idol but its just rumor at this point. Someone suggested that the judges will be able to bring back anyone from the top 50 for wildcard week. If so we will deal with that when it comes.

The nice thing to remember is that even if your picks dont make it through in their first live round they may make it back for wildcard week.

Oh and I am SICK - cough and chills and muscle aches so I am going to bed asap but I'm glad to have the list up for everyone. I love to do live commentary on the show but I have a feeling ill be in bed for it. But cant wait to see it!

Good Luck Everyone!

[KrisT]

OH too funny! Well she can sing but that is small compared to her over - zealous personality.

[KrisT]

Oh no Tera, take some echinachea and Vit c and you will be ready for the show tonight!!!

Good luck to everyone!

[Meg]

Feel better Tera. What if Tatiana was just a wild act and she ditches the act and becames the #1 starlet. Weirder things have happened.

Can't wait for tonight. I don't know how many will sing tonight. Is it just the first 12 group? Or the 24 and then the last 12 tomorrow night? Gets confusing. But I sit with my laptop and pretend I am a reporter. This is too much fun!
