I have my moments where I like Big Mike (I did enjoy "This Woman's Work" last night, and he does seem like a nice enough guy), but the majority of the time I'm not even paying attention to him. And Lee is just ... oh, man, that poor boy STILL looks like a deer in headlights every damn week, but there's a bit of potential there, so I do have a slight soft spot for him.
Crystal (and possibly Siobhan as well) is too good for this show. The only reason I hold off on saying Siobhan is above AI is that given the right songs I think she'd make a perfect winner for the show, whereas with Crystal no matter how many times the judges tell her they adore her just the way she is I just feel like when she wins they'll be switching things up all over the damn place on her, and I get the impression she knows it. (It's a lot like the way I felt about Adam last year -- I love the boy and he is talented as hell, but I cannot see him as the AI winner, but Kris fit it to a T.)
