"I really wanted Tanya Harding to come out in a black leather skating outfit accompanied by George Thorogood's "Bad(t) To The Bone" during her famous Olympics appearance. That would have been good theater, much better than "my lace came untied".

ROFLMBO OMG that was the best laff I've had in days! Thanks for that!

OK, here is a spoiler for tonight - Ryan says - "It is going to be a shocker".
What? this is not a spoiler, he says this every week, like when Scott got voted off or when Anthony got voted off - shockers, all of them! - Not. Ratings mongers, teases, we will not be so easily fooled, Simon Fuller!

Only shocker for me is Bo getting voted off, but I don't see that happenning or Clive is in deep doodoo. He offers a contract to Bo on tha air (inappropriately), and says only the top 2 will be signed.

For anyone who cares, Pray For the Soul of Betty debuted at #129 on this week's album chart with sales of 7,467 copies. For comparative purposes, William Hung debuted at #34 with 37,600 sold on the same label (Koch).

Sadiesmom, (to carry on a theme from the Apprentice thread...)
The only way AI would be a shocker..., is if Paula came out and admitted on the results show,that she slept with Clive Davis to get her first recording contract, that Randy is her brother, and that she and Simon dress up in each others clothes and play "Idols in drag" after every live show!
Well, okay, maybe that's not that shocking either...
There is NOTHING shocking about this season, 'cept all the dirt rag mag's and gossip! LOL

Ha!, thanks for the laugh Dingy
I am waiting for there to be a shocking announcement, like Vonzell has been voted off, although someone with out a posting rep has published a spoiler that Bo goes. Sure.

If Bo does "She Bangs", it should be as a duet with Mr Hung.

"Poop on Ryan Seacrest's Star" Contest
May 18, 2005
It was a good day for Ryan Seacrest on April 20th. That's the day he got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, joining such showbiz immortals as Humphrey Bogart, Bob Hope and Bugs Bunny.

But not everybody is celebrating. An anonymous internet blogger who calls himself "Assistant Atlas" is running a contest to "Poop on Ryan Seacrest's Star." On his website, "Assistant Atlas" urges contestants to defecate on Seacrest's star for a prize of about $50.

"Assistant Atlas" phoned in to Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM on Monday, to promote the contest and explain the rules. "Homeless people, dogs, cats, not allowed," he said. "It's gotta be you. This is cosmic justice, people."

On his website, Assistant Atlas claims to be one of Hollywood's many anonymous assistants who make the calls, schedule the meetings and generally carry the weight of the world on their shoulders.

But there's a problem with the plan: defecating in public is illegal in Los Angeles. The City Council voted unanimously to pass the ordinance several years ago. Offenders can be fined up to $1000 and spend six months in jail.

On his website, Assistant Atlas suggests using a "getaway driver" and wearing a "ski mask" for pictures, which he promises to post on his website. And there's an escape clause for the squeamish. According to the website, you don't have to "do the deed" in public, you can merely dump a "bag of business" on Seacrest's star.

When "CJ" scoped out Ryan Seacrest's star on Hollywood Boulevard on Wednesday, it was clean: no sign of any official contest entry.

OMG, below is a news item from Britain's 'The Independent':

Britain's stars shine for Europe
By Jason Nisse 22 May 2005

Ten British-based business people have been named among the 25 Stars of Europe by American magazine BusinessWeek. However, only five of them are actually British, showing the international nature of the UK business community.

Among the more predictable names in the list are Sir Terry Leahy, chief executive of Tesco; BT boss Ben Verwaayen; and Nigel Newton, who signed JK Rowling for Bloomsbury Publishing. More surprising are Andrew Black and Ed Wray, the co-founders of Betfair.com; and Simon Fuller, the pop impresario whose American Idol TV competition was won this year by Carrie Underwood.

I was going to start a thread titled "Consipracy Theorists Unite" and then realized this had to go in the spoiler thread where only those that wanted to read would visit.

But really, it's hard to ignore...

Well lets just say for the sake of argument, that the show "is" rigged.
Since it's classified as a "reality show", then the FCC does not regulate it, right?

So, couldn't say a good lawyer, who represents clients of the hundreds of thousands of wireless customers who PAY to text their votes in, bring a lawsuit to AI? or cingular for that matter I guess.

If you truly believed Your vote selected the winner, and it in fact didn't, would you have a basis for a lawsuit? (based on deceptive sales practices?)

That way the lawyer could ask a judge for the voting records on all those numbers of text votes. Do you think they use those votes for record, since they are the one's that are released....and throw out the phone in free votes to make it come out like they want?

Just letting my mind wonder..sorry...it doesn't really matter..it's just a show. But some folks sure have a high bill, based on their accounts of all the votes they text in...and the charges! EEEPS!

Not only the viewers, but the contestants as well, who think they are in a valid compitition. Wouldn't this make their contracts void, due to it being say a "sham" from what it is publicized to be?

I'd think a lawyer would jump on that to make a few bucks and get some publicity on breaking the consipracy! ROFL
*head hurts now from thinking* I'm no legal expert, and I didn't use spell check and it's time for my nap....ROFL so maybe it's just a typo in this article!
See ya'll later!

It's an odd sort of mistake to make, but human error might have this journalist looking for work alongside the FOX graphic artist who couldn't get phone numbers right...

I think that the FCC said this is a reality show, but since there is a charge for voting with text messages, a valid law suit could be started for the people who text voted and were billed.

Interestingly enough, Cingular gave free texting to customers for a month during Idol.

Conspiracy? Maybe the news article was a hoax designed by a Bo fan wanting Carrie supporters to think she's won and NOT vote for her. It may have been a simple misprint, and a very stupid one!

It would be great if Bo won to dispell the doubt this sentence left with all who read it.

Both finalists will have an equal shot at a good career. Their success is up to them. Clive already told Bo he would do an album with him and Garth Brooks contacted Carrie to do the same. They are all set as far as a huge break is concerned.
