Tim Urban’s underdog persona and movie star good looks have many making the necessary votes to keep this American Idol contestant going.

You might remember Tim Urban as the American Idol top 24 contestant that was allowed to come back on the show after Chris Golightly was given the boot following complications with a possibly existing music contract.  Urban started off his return with a dreadful performance, yet has followed up with improvements for the most part.

The recent increase in potential has not stopped BoDog Sportsbook from making Tim Urban the season 9 long shot on the American Idol 2010 betting odds.  Urban is currently listed as a 70/1 underdog (a $100 bet will win $7000!), and he has a better chance than many think considering that 2009 American Idol winner Kris Allen was listed at 150/1 during the early stages of last season.

It actually helps out Tim Urban’s American Idol chances that popular website VoteForTheWorst.com has chosen him to receive as many votes as possible to keep him on the show.  The website, known for yearly trying to keep the worst American Idol performers around for another week (Sanjaya anyone?) has made Urban their pick out of the males this year. 

Urban sang “Come On Get Higher” during last week’s American Idol episode, and the voting process showed that the song was enough to keep Tim going for another week.  Ellen suggested he get into acting in films such as High School Musical, while Kara “liked the song choice”.  Simon actually said that he appreciates Urban’s work ethic and attitude.

Cast a vote for Tim Urban during tonight’s American Idol episode to ensure that the season 9 underdog keeps going so he can make us some HUGE money on the betting odds at BoDog Sportsbook.
