So are you suggesting that they'll rig the results? Scandalous!

Hold on, Sanjaya! Don't let 'em pressure you! Fight the power! Fuck off, Simon Cowell.

Anything that gets that piece of shit show off the air makes me happy. Maybe I should figure out how to vote, you do vote for the winner right.

Most if not all seasons have had someone in the top 12 who stayed long after they should have been worn out. It's not a new phenomenon at all. Sanjaya may make it to top 5, but he won't go to the end, and there won't need to be any rigging involved.

The producers have rejected a lot of people over the years who were great singers but who lacked personality. They don't really have any reason to be pissed that the masses are voting for someone with lots of personality and not a ton of singing ability. And if they really want to curtail the mass voting for Sanjaya (or John Stevens back in season 2 or 3, who was a similar case - but not as fun), they could have made it so that only one vote can be made per phone number.

As much as the judges bitch about SanjayaGate, it's focusing a ton of attention on the show. It won't kill the AI behemoth, no worries.

Giffy...why would you care so much about a show on TV that you spend any time wishing it weren't on the air? That seems very juvenile, to me. We live in a media-rich time, and there's more than adequate content for any and all tastes. If you don't like it, fine. Don't watch it. But, the hipster viewpoint that this show must somehow be stopped is ridiculous.

I awoke yesterday to hear John Carlson use his "political minute" or whatever on KIRO radio to urge Sanjaya to step down for the sake of all things American. Seriously, this show has gotten out of hand.

Giffy: If you wanna help keep Sanjaya on and thus destroy the show, you can get the # to call to vote with \out having to watch that dreadful shit. HowardStern.com puts it up and I also post it in the comments on the "It's on TV" post.

Why Giffy, why would you care so much about random snarky post that you spend any time responding? That seems very juvenile, to me.

i love how all the complaints on the votefortheworst.com involve idiots complaining that they're talking to their lawyers... true to form, he's seattle's redemption for being the butt of probably the most annoying and least entertaining show on television... which is why i only watch the daily show.

Why is it that the post with the most comments today is about American Idol rather than something that matters

I like sanjaya but I didn't think he was the best singer the last few week and the women you went out were better then him. They should not cheat by keeping in if he was not the best/ I understand it's the nathion who votes but I would like to see the voting scores when you announce they are safe. I feel there keeping him because of that website saying he is the worst singer.
