Melinda’s fanbase may be large, but they don’t seem particularly active or organized.

I noticed in the homecoming shots that Melinda's home base was much less than Jordin's and Blake's. That also lessened my surprise that she was voted off the show. I could see that she wasn't getting a lot of home support. Of course, home being Nashville, that wasn't too surprising. I mean, Nashville is used to it's true music stars, and an AI singer doesn't rank there.

Last night? With his dad? Sweetest AI moment, ever. Giving his flowers to Melinda and bowing to her, well, that’s the kind of guy he is.

Oh, my God! I know! That was such a class act right there. He's really a good person and you can see that.

So, shenaningans on the votes this week? If you believe DialIdol’s results, then yes, obviously.

Wha?? I'm out of the loop on this. DialIdol predicted a Melinda/Blake finale? I didn't realize that. They're almost always right.

I think that Simon quite obviously knew that Melinda was going home and was pouting over it from the beginning of the show.

That made me so sad for her! She really deserved more support. :(

I knew Blake's homecoming was bigger than big because I watched the videos of it online all weekend, but I was surprised it was that much bigger than Melinda's.

Absolutely! If I had a daughter I'd sit her down and make her watch various Blake clips and tell her, "See, that right there. That's the kind of guy you want to marry."

They predicted a Melinda/Jordin final. (Heh ... That look all kinds of wrong to me!) They had Jordin and Blake very, very close in the B2 though.

Oh, he did. He had his bitchface on from the beginning of the show, and Ryan kept pushing his buttons. That whole exchange, when he had his arms crossed over his chest and Ryan asked him something and he said he was, "cold." Yikes! I felt really bad for him.

Good call there! I was wondering what was up with his demeanor.

Responding to this again because a resident of Nashville posted over a TWoP with some very logical explanations as to why Melinda's crowds were so small this weekend. WRT her college visit, last weekend was graduation and there were simply very few people there:

Post No. 508 in the middle of the page, here:
To some degree that's true, but as Nashville residents my hubby and I were surprised we missed all news of her homecoming this weekend.

"As for Belmont's poor turnout... Graduation was this weekend... Friday night (grad students) and Saturday morning (undergrad). This probably had something to do with the low numbers of fans as students usually have to be moved out of campus housing by Sunday of graduation weekend and might have been preoccupied with attending graduation parties or getting their crap outta the dorms."
