He hasn't been in the bottom three at all during the whole competition. He's been sticking to who he is no matter how many stars tell him to change, and that may take him all the way to the final two according to sportsbook.com. The website says Phillip has about a 9 to 4 shot at winning.
According to sources, his family is having to spend $3,000 to fly from Leesburg To LA. That can add up especially since his been in the competition for weeks.
