Other theory is that of the top 50 or so..there are really only about 10-15 who have a chance of going all the way..so ther’e really nothing wrong with adding a few weirdos to the top 36....they’ll be cut fairly soon. Although we all bitch and moan about them..let’s be honest...we’ve all enjoyed and had fun with/at the expense of..Sanjaya, Wm Hung..and we’d never have Ashley Furl..and besides.. silent_jonny needs the material
The problem with that theiry is that we have already seen a supposed list of one of the 12 groups and there were a LOT of good people in there. A lot more than 3. So, we already know that some good people are going to lose out to the circus performers.
