Sundance Head Appears to Be American Idol Male Favorite

With 10 to 1 odds of becoming the next American Idol, Sundance Head is by far one of the best value picks in the land.  His odds were likely to be shortened by week's end at Sportsbook.com (see website here)

DialIdol.com, which monitors voting busy signals in determining which contestants are most likely to be eliminated, had Sundance Head receiving the most votes Tuesday night.

Chris Sleigh came in with the second largest number of votes.

As predicted by Gambling911.com's own genie of American Idol, Carrie Stroup, Jared Cotter's "Let's Get it On" performance no doubt had a lot of people entertained.  Nobody seemed more entertained perhaps than judge Paula Abdul, who could not get her words out.  Jared was also listed with 10-1 odds of becoming the next American Idol.

Phil Stacey and Blake Lewis also appeared safe based on DialIdol data.

Sanjaya Malakar may be losing steam but he too appeared safe after Tuesday night based on similar data.  His performance was the most heavily panned by judges.

Chris Richardson, a favorite to win among the men, received much fewer votes and appears to be in the danger zone along with AJ Tabaldo.  But it is Brandon Rogers and Nicholas Pedro who appeared to be in the most trouble following Tuesday night's performances.
