In keeping with tradition, I’ll list off some contestants that didn’t make the cut.

• Evan and Jaron (American Inventor)
• Piers Morgan (Celebrity Apprentice UK)
• Will Young (Pop Idol)
• Jenny Jones (!) (Star Search – the original)
• Jordin Sparks (American Idol)

The first matchup is:

DURELL COLEMAN (Star Search – the original) – holds the all time record for wins in the Winner’s Circle, with a fifteen-win streak

vs.

THE PASSING ZONE (America’s Got Talent) – best.jugglers.evah

Vote for the first matchup at my board, in the links section.
