Blake wins the toss, but let's Jordin choose...

So to fairly determine who gets to sing first on finale night, they flip a coin after the results show and allow the winner of the toss to pick whether they want to go first or second.

Conventional wisdom says that you want to go last so you’ll make the final impression on the viewers.

But then, Blake Lewis has never been a conventional contestant…

Blake won the toss and then said he’d let the producers decide. When Ryan insisted he had to choose, Blake asked Jordin if she wanted to go first. When she said no, Blake said he would go first.

So either Blake doesn’t know the proper Idol strategy since he never watched the show before, he doesn’t care, or he really is a super-nice guy…

Whichever it is, we will now see Blake first on the stage at the Kodak Theater on Tuesday…
