FINAL THREE “AMERICAN IDOL” CONTESTANTS EACH TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL PHONE NUMBER FOR VOTING THIS TUESDAY, MAY 17, ON FOX This week America will be watching – and voting – to determine who will be the Final 2 contestants on AMERICAN IDOL. Throughout the season, each contestant has been assigned a single phone number for voting purposes. Now fans of Bo Bice, Vonzell Solomon and Carrie Underwood will have an expanded opportunity to cast their votes after Tuesday’s performance show, because each contestant will be assigned two phone numbers instead of one on AMERICAN IDOL Tuesday, May 17 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. Immediately after the show, the phone lines will open and AMERICAN IDOL viewers can vote for their favorite singer by calling either of two toll-free numbers assigned to that contestant. “With the volume of calls this season already exceeding last year’s, we felt it was important to give fans additional phone numbers in an attempt to reduce congestion,” stated executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz of FremantleMedia. AMERICAN IDOL – TUESDAY ranks as the No. 1 program of the season among Adults 18-49 and Total Viewers. Eight-time Emmy-nominated AMERICAN IDOL is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, founder of 19 Entertainment; and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, Chief Operating Officer, Production, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.; Nigel Lythgoe, President, 19 Television; and Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.

Did they say if one of Vonzell and Bo's lines will really be counted as votes for Carrie?

LOL - Snoops! Maybe we should just make this the official "conspiracy theory" thread. I think this press release is an attempt to deflect attention from last week's phone "issues". But seriously , it's too soon to know what phone "screw-up" or scandal will dominate the week!

NEWSFLASH: I have obtained a secret and exclusive photo of the American Idol Call Center. Up to 40 million calls can be received here in a single evening. The tabulators are also located in a private onsite vault.
