Is It Down to David Cook and David Archuleta on American Idol?

Though most American Idol watchers in our unscientific survey agree that the American Idol winner will be "one of the two Davids," a popular prediction site suggests that long shot Syesho Mercado may beat the betting odds.

DialIdol.com's often accurate software indicates that Syesha Mercado at 50/1 is gaining momentum and could stun co-favorites David Archuleta and David Cook, both who are now 20/21. The other finalist, Jason Castro checks in at 25/1.

Another popular reality show has sports handicappers intrigued. ABC's Dancing With the Stars has narrowed down the field and like American Idol, the initial favorite is holding strong. Kristi Yamaguchi is still the overwhelming choice according to the sportsbooks at 4/11.

Former Miami Dolphin Jason Taylor is 2/1, Mario is 10/1 (no word on Luigi) while the long shots are Cristian de la Fuente and Marissa Jaret Winokur at 40/1.

NewBodog offers odds on whether George Clooney will reprise his role in the 15th season of 'ER'. No is -130 with yes at -110.

The betting line is also heating up for Hell's Kitchen as Christina remains the choice at 5/6. Louross at 4/1 and Jen at 7/1 are place and show favorites.
