TiVo American Idol Predictions?

That's right, TiVo can now predict who is going to be voted off American Idol each week.  Company insiders say they can predict who's not connecting by TiVo usage, according to TMZ.com.

In a sample of 20,000 users, TiVo monitors traffic -- which contestants get replayed (a sign of popularity) and which one's get fast-forwarded.

Apparently TiVo system has nailed who got booted four weeks in a row.

But here is the kicker.  So has DialIdol.com and that site is predicting that Carly Smithson will be voted off Thursday night's show.

TiVo say Syesha Mercado goes home.

Let's just hope it's not either David Cook or Michael Johns, two of the more original contestants in American Idol history.
