Did you think it was strange that Carrie had no conversation with the judges?
Also, did you notice that Ryan asked each of the 4 eliminated, if they wanted to say something to the viewers and the judges, and all 4 of them only thanked America or their families. None of them made any comments to or about the judges.
To me, that stood out. It looked rude to me that they didn't thank the judges. Maybe they know something we don't.
Very strange. She even walked towards the end of the stage, like she used to do as a contestant, presumably as a joke. Some of the other girls were pointing it out. Maybe they were up against the clock and couldn't take it any further comments from the judges. But it seemed awkward.
Also awkward was when Seacrest laughed out loud at one of Carrie's "jokes" at the beginning of her appearance, and the room was silent.
