Our family has been watching American Idol for a couple years now. We've enjoyed the show. To mix it up a little last year we held our first idol competition. We took turns picking from the group until all the idols were "drafted". The winner of the competition was the person that picked the winner of the idol show. Well, last years game ended like this; Wesley 1st place, Jessica 2nd, Jaye 3rd and I had come in 4th. That set this years draft, Wes picked 1st, Jess 2nd.....and so on.
Last night the show had already started before we got a chance to pick (pizza party, we didn't get back early enough: Bekah hope you made it home in time) so we were rushed. The first guy was gone before we started picking....so he was out. I don't think any of us wanted him anyway. We hurried through our drafts and here is how they came out. Just to let you know we like to pick nick-names for each contestant. We assign them as the show goes on but some have already earned them.
Wesley's picks: Amy Jean Davis-kicked out last night, Michael Johns, David Hernandez, Kristy Lee Cook, Kady Malloy and Colton Berry="Nathan" (he looks like a guy that used to go to our church)
Jessica picks: Chikezie ="mustard" because of that horrible suit he had on, Danny Noriega = "he/she", I think Danny and Ramiele Malubay are the same person. Jessica also picked her. David Archuleta. We all like this kid. We hope he goes far, he is really lovable. Alexandrea Lushington="suspenders" and Jason Yeager.
Jaye's picks: Brooke White (I wanted her but Jaye got her before I could) Jason Castro=smiley "dreadlock" boy, Robbie Carrico, Joanne Borgella- kicked off the show last night and Asia'h Epperson.
Brian's picks: I think I have the strongest team :) Syesha Mercado, Carly Smithson="tatoo", David Cook, Alaina Whitaker, Amanda Overmyer= "rocker girl" or "skunk girl" and Luke Menard.
This year is going to be different as far as how we pick the winner. What we've done is assign a point value to each person. The first person kicked off is worth one point, the next 2 points all the way up to 24 points. That way the people (me) that have a good team that might not go to number one still has a chance of winning. What do you think? Any ideas that might help the Holland Idol tournament? We'd be glad to consider changing the rules, as long as they help me win.

Interesting competition . . . I'm still not sure how the point system works, but sounds like you guys are going to have fun!
So far, my favorites are Brooke White and David Archuleta.
