MY PICKS

Rock night didn't turn out nearly as badly as I expected. The show's highlight was without a doubt Blake's risky 16 measures of beat-boxing, which finally seemed to resuscitate a season that without Sanjaya was temporarily devoid of surprises. Given the obvious limitations, everyone seemed to reach their potential. With the exception of Jordin, who disappointingly seemed resigned to the fact that this week wouldn't be her strongest.
Jordin has a slim chance of going home, though. Especially since this is a double elimination week in which this week's votes will combine with last week's.
Which makes it difficult to pinpoint elimination choices. Let's not forget that last week supposedly brought in one-time voters who weren't necessarily hardcore fans of the show.
That said, I'm following the pack and predicting that Chris and LaKisha will go home. The only exception? If LaKisha's strong showing tonight earns her some fans who would normally vote for Jordin. That scenario would likely send Phil home. But LaKisha would have to earn enough votes to compensate for last week's poor showing, which is unlikely.
So I'm still going with Chris and LaKisha.
Thoughts?

Great minds think alike. I'm also picking Chrissy and LaKisha. Perhaps Jordin, as well.

Had no idea that the votes for the last two weeks were being combined. That could scramble things up.

To the extent the winner is part of the American Franchise, two of them are people I'm sure the producers simply don't want to win.

Jordin because she's too young.
LaKisha because she's unattractive and a former welfare-mother.
