The minute that Ryan told George to go to the "highest vote group" without telling him which side, I was totally worried, because I could see how it was going to go down.
But it makes sense, in a sad sort of way:
Hawaii is voting their asses off for Jasmine.
JPL fans are probably voting for Jon.
Dianabot fans are voting for Diana.
Women who like cute guys who can sing are voting for George.
People who thought that the three "divas" were great (and they were all three *amazing* the past two weeks!) either a) thought they were safe and voted for George to "save" him, and/or b) they were voting for all three and thus could only call in 1/3 of the votes for each woman.
If you can make, say, 100 calls in your two hours, and they all go to Jon, he gets 100 votes. But if you're voting for Jennifer and Fantasia and Latoya, they'll only get 33-34 votes each from you. Jon wins easily. And if you're throwing George a few votes too, then maybe you're only giving each of them 25 votes.
The powerhouses are splitting the vote, because they're all that damn good. Jennifer's vote will now likely be split between Fantasia (I still don't like her, but she can sing well in a style that I don't always appreciate...), Latoya (seems wonderful), and maybe George (because he's running a bit hot and cold right now, and he'll either deserve the vote or get "save him" votes).
I hope that Jennifer gets a record contract. Like Kim, she showed growth during the competition and has been developing her own style. (I have no doubt at all that Fantasia and Latoya will get record contracts of some sort or another, but I don't know whether Jennifer will have the same ease in getting one... no reasons, just an odd hunch...)
