Good morning all...

FYI..here's a link to a NY POST AI blog "Anyone Else Thinking Idol is Rigged"

It's a good read. (BTW, some of the comments are a hoot!) The argument is subtler than the usual conspiracy theories. The take here is that Adam was put in thew bottom two, because the person who doesn't go home usually gets a significant "bump" in the number of votes the following week.

FWIW, I don't think AI is rigged..in that the producers will override t he voters, because there is no way to keep that a secret, and if it ever came out, the AI franchise would be destroyed, and it's far too valuable. However, I do think that they don't necessarily rank them in the exact order of votes received, nor, have they ever said they werw doing that.

I suggested that they left him in the bottom two to make sure his base was fired up for the all important top 4, where who gets a parade is decided.

Interesting. Allison/Judges don’t even hint she has competed
previously. All we have seen are some clips of her performing at what appear to be very local events.

It makes for great reaction shots. I think the producers are still want Allie Red and Glambert in the finals!
