So Long Funding

For American Idol this year, 13 of us paid $20 to draw one contestant's name from a hat so we could play along at home. And each week, we gather on Tuesdays to watch the live performance show. Luckily, I was the last to draw a name as I pulled Adam from the almost empty hat. With Adam performing so strongly throughout the season, I had hopes of spending our winnings on the light fixture featured (and forever making note of its American Idol history), but now that Kris is in the finale, my idea of winning has faded.

I'm concerned Adam peaked too soon. Besides that, his screeching maybe alienating some. And to top it off, Danny's supporters most likely will roll their vote to Kris. So if there truly was only a separation of one million votes this past week, Adam most likely will be runner-up. In other words, there goes funding for my Parisian inspired light fixture for the front entry hall.
