American Idol: How many women in the top 12? In play

Settled as 5 Women

Although there was an extra person added to our top 12, this market was clearly asking about how many women would make it to the final round, which was 5. In addition, the 13th person was male, making the settlement straightforward.

Final membership: 8 men, 5 women.
Next week.. who can say? http://www.hubdub.com/m34704/American_Idol_Top_13__Which_gender_will_be_eliminated_first_

Background:

Background: So far the men have been dominating this season. Typically, the top 12 is engineered to be exactly 50/50, but of the confirmed 6 finalists, only two are women. We know at least one more woman will get in during the last round of semi-finals, but how many will the judges put through and what about that third spot the "top vote getter"? Check out the favorites and see who you think will make it!

Current Finalists:
Kris Allen
Danny Gokey
Alexis Grace (F)
Allison Iraheta (F)
Adam Lambert
Michael Sarver
