Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which one of the finalists is a mom?

Answer: Nikki McKibbin

She's got a son, Tristan, and is from Grand Prairie, TX. This finalist is the "wild child" of the group. Simon says: "You look like you've had a daytime TV makeover."

2. Which one has deaf parents?

Answer: Jim Verraros

For his Pasadena performance, he signed while he sang, so his parents would understand. Simon says: "If you win this competition, we [the judges] will have failed."

3. Which one has 9 siblings?

Answer: AJ Gil

He says he wants to win for his mom and his brothers, who live in Tacoma, WA. Simon says: "I think you're a boring performer. I think you've blown it."

4. Which one changed his/her name after the first week without explanation?

Answer: Ryan Starr

She hails from Sunland, CA, originally with the name of Tiffany Montgomery. Simon says: "The song was terrible, but I understand why people voted."

5. Which one attends Victory Church?

Answer: Tamyra Gray

She's from Maryland. Simon says-- only nice things! "This girl goes past the X Factor. She has Zed factor."

6. Which one was NOT originally part of the final 30?

Answer: EJay Day

When one of the finalists was discovered to be lying about his age, they called in one of the runner-ups, EJay Day (who's from Georgia). Simon says: "Good, yes. American Idol, no." Also-- "You're not winning any points for that awful hat."

7. Which one makes Paula [one of the judges] swoon?

Answer: Justin Guarini

Justin's the one with the curly blonde afro and is from Doylestown, PA. Simon says another nice thing: "We were asked what the X Factor is. It's very simple. It's you."

8. Which one was born in Brooklyn, NY but hails from Florida?

Answer: Christina Christian

She's a very straightforward, honest performer. Though her auditions can be hit or miss, she won Simon over by singing "Isn't he lovely?" right at him the first audition she had. So, he says: "I think I've got a crush."

9. Which finalist was the "Wild-Card" (the last one to be chosen)?

Answer: RJ Helton

He's the one that Simon and Randy got in a fight over. He returned to compete in the Wild-Card show and proved himself worthy of the final round. Simon says: "You've got to raise the game...mechanical."

10. Which one is from Burleson, Texas?

Answer: Kelly Clarkson

She's the adorable one. Simon says: "I don't know what to say. I don't actually remember you from the previous round."

11. Who's the cranky British judge?

Answer: simon

He's the one providing all the nasty comments; he's blunt, but honest, so I just love him.

12. Who's the African American producer judge?

Answer: randy

Randy Jackson is the one who almost got into physical fighting with Simon. He should pick on someone his own size-- might be tough finding somebody like that, though.

13. Which judge is a former singer/dancer?

Answer: paula

She was once pretty famous-- now, she's a judge on a reality TV show. Don't feel too bad, though, she's been mean to Simon.

14. Name one of the hosts.

Answer: ryan

Ryan Seacrest and Brian Dunkleman are the two hosts. Ryan's the one with no fashion taste, Brian's the one trying to act funny. Both of them are mean to Simon!

15. For the show where all 10 finalists performed a song, what was the theme?

Answer: Motown

It put some of the finalists at a disadvantage, because Motown wasn't really their best genre to perform in. Nikki, Jim, and AJ all had trouble with their songs. Thanks for playing, and don't forget to keep watching!
