...Clay Aiken. Period, end of story.
I was waiting to see if OLY might consider raising the limit on the prop before posting this, but it doesn't look like it.
My usual thing is the fight game, but I've had some VERY good luck playing non-BO gross movie/TV props in the past year.
I'm on Aiken at +105 for the following reasons:
#1. I don't want to get into racist rationale, but the fact is, Aiken best resembles Middle America. There was some controversy last year over an African-American contestant being ousted before her time, and rumblings that pro-whites were "stuffing" the phone ballots. Now, this is obviously a disgusting component of the contest, but facts are facts. I don't have to agree with it, but I had better recognize it.
#2: Ruben was in the bottom two a few weeks back. IMO, this could have been a stunt to rejuvenate interest in the show, since many believed that he had things sealed. More likely, Ruben was the victim of "everyone else is voting for him" syndrome. Kind of like recycling...everyone does it, so don't bother.
Even so, Clay has yet to find himself in that position after things were narrowed down to the final 12.
#3: The man has talent. Goofier than heck to look at, but obviously, this won't be decided on looks.
#4: Simon Cowell picks Clay, "by a hair." Hey, isn't that how many wagers are won?
But most importantly...
Clay Aiken's CD single is currently #1 on Amazon's list. Ruben's? #386. The AOL poll is interesting, but this fact represents people actually plunking down the cash.
Gambling is gambling, but unless Clay really chokes tonight, it's his to lose. Took the max limit of $500 to win $525. G/l to all.
