How far did John Stevens get? Was Jasmine a vote for the worst? she should have been. I really hope that VFTW doesnt have the numbers... five is still really far for someone bad. Kellie does not deserve that spot for sure. I feel like shes begining to think shes invinsible in the competition.. the rest of the contestants are so talented.. it would be a shame for her to take one of their spots. Have you heard about the recent text messaging kellie scandle?

I think Steven was a 5 or 6. I didn't care for Jasmine either. I think she got to 3 which is further than I would have placed her. LaToya was much better in my opinion. It is unfortunate that VFTW might help some less talented contestants get further than more talented ones.

I've heard something about Pickles and text messaging, but I don't recall what it was now.

"A store in Albermarle, NC (owned by CT Communications) has set up a text messaging phone bank where people can vote for Kellie for free. This company (CT Communications) is a telephone provider in west-central North Carolina. Their cellular stores are RESELLERS for Cingular, like Best Buy and other stores.

Cingular does not control them. They do not control Cingular. The store where the Kellie Pickler voting is taking place is owned by CT Communications and no one else.

There is no conflict of interest, just a retailer using this to drum up business and support their hometown idol."

i also heard they were giving out gifts to ppl that texted for kellie
