    I swear to you, if this kid makes it through another week, I'm gonna start voting for him.

    There's obviously some sort of organized effort to push him through. I'm joining. 'Cause dammit, it would be absolutely freakin' hilarious to watch that non-singing shit standing on stage as the confetti falls.

    Then I hope it's way off again this week.

    One of the theories on Sanjaya is that Idol farms out its phone banks to India and they're rigging it because they're not satisfied with Kal Penn and the girl from ER as the only East Indian stars in the U.S.

    If Taylor Hicks can win as easily as he did last year, I think anything is possible...

    The reason dial idol has been so far off lately is because it can't count text messages, which is more and more becoming the way people vote...

    People text their votes in because tehy don\'t have to sit on the phone and wait for their turn to vote. They send the text and get a message a couple hours later than their vote was received.

    After the Ryan-Simon tete-a-tete last night, this video is amusing: http://gawker.com/news/ryan-seacrest/ryan-seacrest-his-straightest-moments-244139.php

    Maybe go behind Fox's back and go through the NFLPA. I've had success with them in the past getting numbers of retired players.

    yeah, i've got a call in. but i fear having a number won't make phillippi talk. seems like "a.i." has scared off everyone from talking without the go-ahead. bastids.

    Jordin just might surprise in this thing. Plus, she's becoming prettier each week. Actually, several are getting boosts that way. I like Brandon, but he needs to be penalized for trying to skate through each week.

    1. Kal Penn is awesome.
    2. If Sanjaya ends up winning, it can quite possibly be the end of American Idol.
