Is DialIdol an accurate predictor? Does Vote for the Worst have any impact?
DialIdol is accurate sometimes. The program, which can be downloaded for free and which dials “American Idol” voting phone numbers for you, doesn’t measure votes — it measures how often it receives a busy signal and uses that data to predict who will go home. As for Vote for the Worst, the site gathers lots of media attention for its witty and fun commentary. But no one they’ve ever selected has lasted the whole season and won the competition, and the site ends up choosing a new “worst” contestant every time their selection gets voted off.
