Last week we had to sit through two hours of performances and talk about donating money for the "Idol Gives Back" cause before we found out that none of our final six were going to be leaving the show. A relief? I'm not sure. Last night they all had the chance to perform again and to be fair, a lot of it was pretty average. At this point in the competition I was certainly expecting something better. Perhaps they all need some viagra slipped into their food in order to spice things up a little. In any case, someone is going home. No, in fact two people are. Hallelujah!

Hopefully this double elimination will shake things up enough that next weeks top four show will be phenomenal. Do you see me holding my breath?

Bon Jovi will be performing with the Top 6 tonight as well.

Ok, enough rambling. Let's check out what every one sang last night.

Phil Stacey sang Blaze of Glory
Jordin Sparks sang Livin' on a Prayer
Lakisha Jones sang This Aint a Love Song
Blake Lewis sang You Give Love a Bad Name
Chris Richardson sang Dead or Alive
Melinda Doolittle sang Have a Nice Day

Yep. It was pretty dismal last night with Melinda and Blake being the only two that really made any effort to keep their fans voting for them. Nigel Lithgoe is saying tonight's elimination wont be a surprize. Therefore it wont be Melinda or Blake. Any of the rest of them could be up for the chop.

Now, this weeks polls. How are things looking according to your votes on idolblog.com?

First we'll look at this weeks poll and then we'll combine the results with last weeks and see how the picture is looking.

In the "Who is everyone's favourite Idol" poll this week, Blake Lewis is on top with 41% of the vote. Jordin Sparks takes a huge hit, dropping from the number one spot down to third on 15% while Melinda Doolittle has second place sewn up on 23%.

The bottom two you want to see going home are Chris Richardson (40%) and Lakisha Jones (27%) while Phil Stacey is third on 20%.

Now, who are the bottom three as predicted by the polls?

Chris Richardson 3%, Lakisha Jones 9% and Phil Stacey 8% are the bottom three and it looks as though, despite Chris having perhaps his best week, his fans didn't appreciate his change in style - to one that perhaps he's better suited to.

When it comes to the DialIdol results, Lakisha Jones and Chris Richardson are the two unlucky punters. Strangely though, Jordin Sparks tops their results while Melinda is in third to last.

Now lets combine the last two week's results and see what that might tell us about tonights result.

Jordin Sparks comes out on top with 28%, Blake Lewis is second on 27% and Melinda Doolittle comes in in third place with 25%. Ladies and Gentlemen, I seriously think we have our top three right there.

And the bottom three?

Based on these results, I think it would be safe to assume that Chris Richardson will be going home tonight with 6% overall but when it comes to the second person it's pretty tight. Phil Stacey is second on 7% with only a gnats whisker between him and Lakisha Jones also on 7% (thanks to rounding.)

So who is it going to be? Let's find out:

Going home:
Phil Stacey
Chris Richardson

Bottom Three:
tba

Safe:
Melinda doolittle
Lakisha Jones
Jordin Sparks
Blake Lewis

Yet to be decided:

There you have it. All that voting was for nothing. Except raising all that money of course.
