Holy Crap...Final 13?!

Did you all hear me scream "Holy Crap!" Leave it to Idol to throw a twist at us! If you didn't see it, we have a Final 13; not Final 12!

Personally, I'm thankful for this since I had staked my Poolmaster status on Anoop getting into the Final 12, and was just about to eat crow when they announced that he would be in the Final 13! I just about had milk come out my nose, and I wasn't even drinking milk!

For the returning Poolies, you know the drill. For the new members, I'll explain.
Attached is your pick sheet with the Final 13. (if you can't open the attachment, please let me know, or you can just email your picks to me freeform) Please rank them in the order that you believe/hope/pray that they will be kicked out, with #1 being the person that you believe/hope/pray will win it all.

From there, each week, someone is kicked out. If your #1 pick is kicked out the first week, you rack up 12 points. YOU DO NOT WANT POINTS!

Each week after the results show, I will email out a recap of the show and list of how many points each Poolie has. This will also be posted on my blog. This can be quite amusing!

At the end of it all, the person with the LEAST amount of points will be crowned the new King/Queen of the Idol Pool, not to mention, win a 1st place prize chosen especially for them! Seriously, last year 1st place paid $150. I also had 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place prizes.. Amounts will be determined after I know how many Poolies I have.

After I have received all the pick sheets, I will compile a sheet with everyone's picks and email it to everyone so you can all see how everybody ranked the Final 13, and to keep it honest. This also is quite amusing!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... get your picks and $5 to me by showtime on Tuesday, March 10. If you are State Farm and not in my building, you can inner office the money to me, and yes I take checks (if they're good). If you loose your pick sheet, just email your picks to me, ranked as stated previously. For those of you who have "prepaid", God Bless You!

So without further ado, select your picks, get your sheet/$5 to me ASAP, have fun with it, and GOOD LUCK!

Your Poolmaster,
Norma

I missed all this week - what did I miss? It does not matter, I'll finish in the $$$$! If not, as long as I finish in front of High that will be my victory!!
