User blog:ArtDraw12/TD Theories: What if "if you don't sing, you're out" rule was taken seriously?

Art here with new theory blog I came up with long time ago. We all know and possibly got annoyed by the fact that "if you don't sing, you're out" rule in TDWT wasn't taken seriously. Literally the only time when songs affected someone's elimination was Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, but it's only because Duncan quit due to not wanting to sing a reprise. Speaking of which, after second episode concept of reprises was never heard of again.

However, I kinda can understand why this rule wasn't taken seriously. It was really weird because:
 * In one case five contestants didn't sing. Five way elimination? Not to mention Slap Slap Revolution where four contestant didn't sing and regular elimination also would've happened anyway. Which leads me to a question - if someone didn't sing, would someone be eliminated in regular way as well? If five contestants didn't sing, would all of them be eliminated?
 * If one of finalists didn't sing, would they really be eliminated for such stupid reason?
 * Would having spoken lines spare you from elimination because at least you contributed to the song in some way?

So let's do this in two versions. One is hardcore version where EVERYONE who doesn't sing is out and contestants eliminated regularly are also out. For easier version, if more than one contestants don't sing they won't be eliminated (but Chris won't reveal this because otherwise no one would want to sing). Also, for this version people who at least had spoken lines will be forgiven.

See this blog to see a list of contestants who didn't sing in songs in which they were supposed to sing.

Note: Some events could be changed, but I'm going to count that everyone who was eliminated in regular version was eliminated anyway, no matter if changed plot wouldn't let it happen. However, if a person who was regularly eliminated was eliminated due to not singing earlier, I'm going to ignore regular elimination.

Ok, so in real version this was supposed to be a song only for Cody and Sierra (Noah and Owen happened to sing as well). Here targeted singers are already out, so I think the song will be for everyone. And since I have no idea who out of remaining ones would sing, we can do two versions here. A) count that only Noah sang because only he did in real version. B) count that everyone sang because the song was for everyone here and it'd be harder for them to avoid singing.

Harder version (A)

 * Eliminated: Gwen, Heather, and Lindsay
 * Winner: Noah

Easier version (B)

 * Eliminated: Lindsay
 * Remaining: Gwen, Heather, and Noah

Easier version (B)

 * Eliminated: Noah
 * Remaining: Gwen and Heather

Easier version (B)
I skipped other episodes because the song was meant only for Owen and Gwen in Jamaica Me Sweat (I guess she'd still be injured and the song would be only for her), both girls sang in I See London... (in which Duncan gets to return by the way), and the song in Greece's Pieces was meant only for Duncan.
 * Eliminated: Gwen
 * Remaining: Duncan and Heather

Easier version (B)
I skipped previous episodes because the song in Picnic at Hanging Dork was meant only for Team Amazon (meaning only for Heather here) and both of them sang in Sweden Sour and Niagara Brawls (in which Blaineley debuts by the way).
 * Eliminated: Blaineley
 * Remaining: Duncan and Heather

Easier version (B)

 * Eliminated: Duncan
 * Winner: Heather

Rankings (version A):
 * 1st - Noah
 * 2nd - Gwen, Heather, and Lindsay
 * 3rd - Courtney
 * 4th - Leshawna and Sierra
 * 5th - Alejandro, DJ, Izzy, and Tyler
 * 6th - Bridgette and Cody
 * 7th - Harold
 * 8th - Ezekiel
 * 9th - Duncan and Owen

Rankings (version B):
 * 1st - Heather
 * 2nd - Duncan
 * 3rd - Blaineley
 * 4th - Gwen
 * 5th - Noah
 * 6th - Lindsay
 * 7th - Courtney
 * 8th - Leshawna and Lindsay
 * 9th - Alejandro, DJ, Izzy, and Tyler
 * 10th - Bridgette and Cody
 * 11th - Harold
 * 12th - Ezekiel
 * 13th - Owen

Ok, I know both versions look weird, but version A is how it'd look like if the rule was taken seriously (too seriously in fact) and version B follows the rules of my blog. I know that in fact there would be some regular elimination of someone who wasn't eliminated in actual version (meaning Duncan wouldn't even get to return while Blaineley wouldn't get to debut).

Since Sierra's still here, it can be assumed the song would be still meant only for her (I guess she'd sing about missing Cody).
 * Eliminated: Lindsay
 * Remaining: Alejandro, DJ, Gwen, Heather, Izzy, Noah, Owen, Sierra, and Tyler

Newf Kids on the Rock

 * Eliminated: Noah
 * Remaining: Alejandro, DJ, Gwen, Heather, Izzy, Owen, Sierra, and Tyler

Note: I assume Alejandro would be forgiven (it's easier version for a reason) because he was captured by Ezekiel before the song.
 * Eliminated: Tyler
 * Remaining: Alejandro, Duncan, Gwen, Heather, Owen, and Sierra

The EX-Files
Note: Sierra at least had spoken parts in the song.
 * Eliminated: Gwen
 * Remaining: Alejandro, Duncan, Heather, Owen, and Sierra

 * 11th - Lindsay
 * 12th - Courtney

So the final three is basically like in version B of hardcore version.
