  1. We consider the last nine eliminations. In the table we report the date of the elimination, the contestant eliminated, whether the data indicators correctly single out the elimination (✓), it is wrong (×) or provide a too close to call (CC). In the last column we compare the data indications for the bottom three (two) contestants announced during the first seven eliminations. We report when within error bars the signal identifies the bottom three contestants (✓), two out of three (2/3) or one out of three (1/3) contestants.
