Will Twitter Give Away Season 10 of American Idol?

For "The Remix" season this year, contestants on Season 10's American Idol each have their own Twitter page fans can follow them on throughout the journey. While at first, I hadn't given this much thought, after catching part of The View this morning (I'm sorry. I watch it sometimes. I'm ashamed.), they brought up an interesting point. Can the amount of followers each contestant has on Twitter predict when they will go home?

Last week, Ashthon Jones was sent home, and she had the least amount of followers. Tonight, however, Karen Rodriguez was sent home, and the person with the least amount of followers was actually Naima Adedapo.

If you're weird like me and wonder if something like this could actually work, here are the follower counts as of...about 30 minutes ago:

1. Casey Abrams: 34,215
2. Scotty McCreery: 34,077
3. Paul McDonald: 27,972
4. Lauren Alaina: 24,278
5. Pia Toscano: 23,419
6. Thia Megia: 23,299
7. James Durbin: 22,281
8. Stefano Langone: 20,295
9. Jacob Lusk: 13,892
10. Karen Rodriquez: 12,160
11. Haley Reinhart: 12,143
12. Naima Adedapo: 10,931

This seems relatively accurate, but we just saw Karen go home tonight and go against the "system." I just want a place to monitor this concept throughout the season and see where things go!
