The girl's got pipes, but she may be the next to go.

This is the word coming out of our own Idol prediction poll, which puts Syesha Mercado at the bottom of the pile with 2.1 percent as of press time (and Jason Castro in the lead!), and also a fascinating new survey our good friends at TiVo just released.

For the past four weeks, TiVo has been monitoring the second-by-second audience numbers to determine which Idol contestants had the biggest viewership—including the incidences of replay and fast-forward for each performance. So far, the contestant with the lowest viewership has been the one to get the boot.

And this week? The contestant with the lowest viewership is Miss Syesha Mercado.

That said, if Syesha doesn't get the boot tonight, it'd be one of the biggest surprises of the season so far.

What do you all think? Is it right for Syesha to be the one to go? Does this mark the start of an official upswing for Kristy Lee Cook? Comment below!
