On to official business.
The standings that I posted yesterday did not reflect the loss of points for those individuals who had the misfortune to have thier American Idol winner Didi Benami voted out on Wednesday. Therefore, I am updating the standings to reflect the loss of the points they wagered on Didi to become the winner.
Current Standings (with who we picked to go home)
Eric -- 11 (Didi)
Yolanda -- 8 (Tim)
Scott -- 7 (Katie)
Emily -- 7 (Katie)
Betty -- 7 (Didi)
Kristen -- 6 (Tim)
Mary M. -- 6 (Tim)
Lois -- 6 (Tim)
April -- 6 (Didi)
Jeff -- 5 (Didi)
David -- 4 (Katie) (Selected Didi as the winner so he loses the 4 points he wagered)
Jon -- 4 (Tim)
Shannon -- 2 (Tim)
Margret -- 0 (No Vote)
Mary W. -- Negative1 (Tim) (Selected Didi as the winner so she loses the 5 points she wagered)
As you can see, David and Mary W. took a beating after Wednesday's vote and will have to work extra hard to get back into the contest. But I know they are up to the challenge and since there is a lot of contest left, anything can happen.

Things aren't smelling roses for Chikieze. "American Idol" reject Chikezie Eze owes Bank of America more than $17,000 ... which in Neiman Marcus terms is 28 bottles of cologne. You'll recall Mr. Eze was charged last Friday with attempting to buy 2 bottles of really, really expensive cologne at Neiman's using fraudulent credit cards. Neiman's, which charges more than $1,200 for the two bottles of cologne has not been charged with highway robbery -- so far. In the B of A civil lawsuit, the bank claims Eze overdrew funds from his account and owes $17,433.63.
