I voted for Clay a few times and even though Rueben is not my man, I voted for him once on the bond
I guess I'm looking at it from a biz perspective. Even Simon said on TV Guide that even if Rueben wins, Clay will make the most money from American Idol. Clay has great crossover appeal. Rueben has a good chance as well, but if they wait as long as they did with Kelly, his chance will diminish for that crossover appeal.
And another thing. This has to be the most racially charged A.I. I've ever seen. Trust that folks at Fox are worried(just a scoop) If Rueben wins, they face the "you let him win cause Tamarya lost" and worry about an "OJ" type reaction. and if Clay wins, they get Jesse Jackson at their front doorstep(XYZ's words, not mine). So best believe they are nervous.
