If it was rigged someone would have heard something by now. Someone always talks....

That's the same reason I think Kellie's "dumb blonde" routine was genuine.

I remember a few weeks ago, someone on this board posted a missive by a soon-to-be-former AI employee who said the fix was in. Of course, noone believed it...Do you have any idea what kind of contract someone must have to sign who works for that show? I bet it's full of secrecy clauses.

There have been rumors (nothing more proven) of insiders saying similar things of showrigging. Also, the George Huff family has gone on record talking of AI shenanigans. And don't forget the Clintonesque whitewashing of the Paula sex scandal.

All in all, it's only TV, so any real scandal would be rather confined anyhow. But I for one don't like the manipulation, and it's not really just about Taylor Hicks.

I guess I fell for the whole innocence and pure-Americana thing, but the more I see, the more the veil is lifted.
