Last year, we had fun predicting who would win right after the initial auditions were done and before Hollywood week. This year, since we missed a couple cities, we wouldn't have been able to make a fully educated guess, so we decided to wait until the top 36 were revealed. It won't be as impressive a guess if one of us is right, but it will still provide plenty of bragging rights
Bunny: Having chosen Robbie Carrico to win last year, I know my credibility, if I had any, is shot. (Remember, it was right after the original auditions!) However, this year I think my pick will stand up better. I'm going with Megan Corkrey. So, Burke, whaddaya think?
Burke: I chose Brooke White last year, which means I'm crazy good at this. Fifth place ain't bad. This year, I say Michael Sarver goes all the way.
Prognosticats: We don't care about the singing. We don't care about the pitiful and/or inspiring stories. We don't care about the drama. We are still waiting for the tuna. However, if forced, we would have to choose Alexis Grace for the win.
See you next week for the first performance show, where 12 hopefuls sing and 3 advance to the next round!

Hello Bunny & Burke,
welcome to yet another season of AI, where the drama continues:
1) Danny Geeky (wife died, sympathy votes, best male singer of Group 1 on 2-17)
2) Alexis Grace (daddy needs heart transplant, hasn’t been used by AI producers but they are “saving” this little tidbit for when they need it)
3) Tatiana Del Toro (Vote For The Worst’s first pick of Group 1)
