People often refer to Toronto as a single city of 2.5 million people - 5 million if you include the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). However, ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s really a concentrated grouping of many communities (including mine), each with populations in the hundreds of thousands. But being in such close proximity to each other and to downtown Toronto, I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think there is as great a sense of local community as there may be in more outlying towns and cities. Thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s more going on in Toronto, more distractions and competing entertainment options, hence why CI is not at the top of local TV ratings. Also, being surrounded by millions of other people could make you think that lots of other folks must be voting for the local kid(s) so you donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t need to bother. While I would rank Mookie in my top 4, he's not my top pick or even second pick. I'm sure many in the GTA would feel the same. For some folks, Drew is their top choice. I actually voted for him in one of the earlier voting rounds but I would rank him 5th now behind Theo, Amberly, Earl and Mookie. It's kind of amusing to read comments about Drew's home town support as being the reason he has avoided the bottom 3 so far. Drew's home town is Collingwood which has a population just over 17,000. I suppose if every person in town able to use a phone were to power-vote for him... but even so, communities have only so many outgoing phone lines and that limitation tends to reduce the effect of power-voting. Mitch does not have the same support base that Mark does, if you're trying to lump their local support together. Regional support decreases the more distant and tenuous the relationship between viewer and competitor is. Mitch and Mark have totally different musical styles. Just because they both come from Maritime provinces doesn't mean their respective fan bases would automatically transfer support after one of them is eliminated. Maritimers have the same wide range of music tastes as the rest of Canada. They have their share of Hedley and Simple Plan fans as well as folks who appreciate Jason Mraz or flock to concerts for U2, Coldplay, Anne Murray and Nickelback. maryannaflapjack, CI viewership in Toronto is down compared to last year (although it has rebounded a bit from the start of this season) but there are still a lot of people who watch in this region and they do cast votes.

Mark's gone, and all good there. A couple of people who were in danger of overconfidence got a wake-up call. Their fans did too. What's that leave us? A little drama as we come down to the wire, and that's cool. I don't think Mookie has inherited Sebastian's cute-vote. Remember, they're both Toronto boys. Maybe there are a few Torontonians who watch and vote after all. Mitch has the same Maritimer support that Mark did. Will they transfer to him? If so, things look bleak! I don't think he'll pick up a huge percentage of the east coast though. I can see Mookie appealing to the kinda idiosyncratic maritimer, y'know? (I can hope.)

Earl, not so much. I have only liked his "sitting with guitar" performances. And this week seemed to be worse than all of his other "standing without guitar" performances. Theo needed to do something different to get out the Archuleta box. But maybe he should have waited until he gets two songs in one week. Then he could still do the wheelhouse song but also do a riskier number. Anyway, I'm glad that Theo is sticking around and hopefully from this point on, fans will pick a favorite because the further you get into the competion, you really need to pick your absolute favorite and not assume that that person will be safe. This week kind of proved that for me. Hmm, I am surprized to see Theo in the B3. Earl, not so much. I have only liked his “sitting with guitar” performances.

Obviously it takes more than that to continue to last (or win), but if you have rabid hometown/area voting combined with other fans you are golden.

And Theo and Earl got a big wake up call to shake off any thoughts of inevitability. I am especially disappointed in Theo's presence in the bottom as I thought he was the strongest of the night and I felt left the most on the stage. Are people not interested in seeing the contestants branch out? I know I am grateful for it. The judges and a good part of the listeners believe the Top 4 should be Earl, Theo, Mookie and Amberly. So why do Mitch and Drew continue to do so well? It's a huge mystery to me. One possible explanation is that people like some combination of that group of 4 so split their votes between them. And its likely that Mitch and Drew fans are only voting for them. So in the end, they get a larger portion of the votes. If it was Mitch, Drew and one vote for the 4, I'm sure the 4 would dominate. I guess that means that people voting for the 4 need to either spend more time voting or choose a favorite and take your chances. I'm in a US border town and can't vote. Sure wish I could.

I do think that Mitch deserved the boot after that assault on our ears however. I don't understand who is voting for him, I just don't get this show. I'm frustrated that I ever started watching, it was so great until all my favs disappeared and now I have no interest in who wins, no fun! I'm somewhat pleased that Mookie wasn't in the bottom though. Big Wup, Mark should have been gone 6 weeks ago. I do think that Mitch deserved the boot after that assault on our ears however.
