So...? They are both gonna be big anyway

I think whoever wins next week doesn't really matter. I think both Guy and Shannon have thier own terrific talents but sadly we are not voting all on talent. In both American Idols both the winner and runner up have done well. Sure, the person who wins will get the title 'Australian Idol' but that doesn't mean that the runner up will not be successful and won't be guranteed a good future and plus I doubt that title will last long anyway.

Too true. And in the U.K the runner up is doing better than the winner.
In some ways it may be better to be the runner up.
