Here in L.A. and now that I know the unfortunate outcome I can skip the show and go straight to..... The Bachelor, After the Finale!!!!! My thoughts exactly. Watching Kirsten try to redeem herself before a national TV audience should be a lot more fun, anyway...ha ha! SHOOT! In CST, was going to flip back and forth. Let me know what happens - just saw the last couple shows, but would be curious if the Firestone guy really plans to marry Jen.

"Sounds like hown my Bush beat gore... Doesn't matter by how much..."
When one person can vote as many times as they can get through for weeks and weeks in a row, it does matter by how much. A thousand votes out of 24 millon votes is nothing under those circumstances Common sense tells me that 1000 votes does NOT prove Ruben is the better singer. It's a tie.

Come back in about 2 or 3 years and we'll revisit that statement. I am very good at math and I will be glad to debate who the winner is with you at that time.
To: ShadowDancer
Clay has the ability to make you think of Show Boat and avert your eyes. You do the math. That is the funniest thing I have read all day, and it was a new Onion today!

I think everyone here is a little too into AI...And yet you're on your computer and posting on and AI thread. What's the matter? Couldn't find anything stimulating on the Discovery Channel?
To: CarmelValleyite
Yes, had there not been cameras in the room, she might have stabbed Andrew! Kirsten has the Cruella de Vil role locked up if she decides to go to Hollywood. Jen is really great though - Andrew is a very lucky man. From what the people on the ABC message boards are saying, the show is going to be very entertaining!
To: Fawnn
Ruben's mother saying she was able to cast 100 votes when I think the most anyone here was able to cast for Clay was around 6 votesMost of us never got in at all. Especially here in Raleigh.

Hi, pbear, Howlin and all--
Haven't read the thread yet. I was disappointed severely that Clay did not win, but I think Ruben will make a good AI. Both will be great recording artists, although to somewhat different audiences. This may work out for the best for Clay, as he will be able to pursue his music without FOX pulling on him so much.
I am not among those who think the voting was rigged by FOX. It may have been screwed up, but that's a different story. In any event, it was a statistical tie and the world got introduced to two great singers.
To: Howlin
Clay is the real winner. The CD sales will prove it. BTW Ruben, nice puddle you left on Randy's jacket when he went up on stage to hug you. Sheesh!
To: Howlin; All
OK, I waited until I read this thread.
A BIG congratulations to my man, Ruben Studdard! The big guy made us Alabamians all proud!
Also, congratulations to Clay Aiken. A class guy who is also a winner in my book.
Now on another note. I'm VERY disappointed to see the bigoted comments about Ruben here on FR. Clay fans can be upset and letdown because he "lost" by a little over 1000 votes.
Neither one of these men are losers. They both are upstanding Americans that we ALL should be proud of. Both men love the Lord, both are involved in their communities, and both are shining examples for our youth to idolize. Both men have wonderful families and it is ecident that they have been raised right.
Freepers should be above posting bigoted and hateful comments about ANY of the contestants. Leave that to the losers on DU.
WAY TO GO RUBEN!

Did I hear that right on the broadcast -Reuben won by 1,300 votes out of 24 million cast?? That is a difference of 650 either way!

Our son is fortunate - it goes well as Clayton, or if he shortens it to Clay later on. It's not a name you hear in Pennsylvania, but my husband's family has deep roots in NC and TN, and I have fond memories of my time in VA. It all fits.
To: ARA
You opininion is racist at the core... it is sad for FR... Funny...I didn't mention race anywhere in my post...yet you somehow have this "gift" to discern that I am a "racist"? LOL
The fact is...since you consider any criticism of Reuben to be "racist"..not because the criticism says anything about his race...but simply because he is black..you are in fact the REAL racist.

You should, post more often, I mean. Unfortunately, I got hooked on this show last season, but am not so sure I'll continue watching. See you on the WI board. BTW, was Margaret Farrow your senator?
To: republicandiva; CarmelValleyite
Andrew and Jen are going to get married - bet on it. I heard that one of Andrew's sisters said that if he screws this up, they are going to kick him out of the family and keep Jen!
To: MomwithHope
Even the weatherman is singing tonight! Terrible voice....LOL
