(Aired 2/9 and 2/10)
Season 9 is finally rolling, although we at Predict Idol feel that it REALLY starts with the top 24. But Hollywood week is definitely an essential part of the process.
However, since contestants aren’t being eliminated one by one, or even two by two, it’s almost impossible to make predictions that have any meaning. So for the time being, the Prognosticats are simply going to rate the judges for their performance as judges, and they will continue to do this throughout the season along with their regular predictions.
There will be somewhat of a format change here at Predict Idol. For the last couple of years, we have written fairly extensive reviews and commentary of the performances, making our human predictions and the cats making theirs (by having them “choose” at random from scraps of paper, each with a contestant’s name).
We have established that, as poor as we humans are at accurately predicting the outcome each week, the cats are even worse. So this year the cats will be pitted against one another in a fight to the death. Or to the tuna, in this case. (Whether their predictions continue to be random or influenced by the humans remains to be seen.)
So here’s how the judges fared this week using our 4-paw rating scale:

We'll see you again next week for more Hollywood hijinks!
