Spoiler Alert

The biggest upset on last night’s American Idol wasn’t that Aussie hottie Michael Johns was sent home, but that TiVo, which claimed to be able to predict who would go home, got it wrong. By analyzing which performances are replayed or skipped over by a sample of 20,000 subscribers, the DVR service has accurately predicted the ejections for the last four consecutive weeks. This week, they fingered Syesha would go home. Obviously, they got it wrong; she was only in the bottom three.
