Okay. So I guess that's why there were two different segments airing on all FOX affiliates last week, asking if Kellie is playing dumb? And why Seacrest asked her--on live TV--this past Tuesday, "are you playing dumb?"
Apparently enough people are asking that same question that both Idol and Pickler felt the need to respond.
Apparently the rest are voting for her, and they are in the majority.
