American Idol – Conspiracy Against Kellie Pickler?

Who’s next? Well VFTW posted this:

American Idol lets many contestants into the top 24 who have no chance to win. These people are placed in the competition for ratings, and when they start to perform poorly, the viewing audience laughs and generally votes them out. But VFTW sees keeping these contestants around as a golden opportunity to make a more amusing show. American Idol producers don't like this though, because they already know who they want to win. They pimp certain contestants from the get-go, and it's usually incredibly obvious who stands a chance of winning (this year it's Chris Daughtry with an outside chance on Taylor or Elliott) and who doesn't (everyone else). We find it boring that the producers have turned this into a 12 week "promote the pre-selected winner" contest, so we want to turn the show on its side to promote someone different.

What do you think? Does VFTW actually have some pull?

Wow.. I had heard of these types of things happening but it seems WAY bigger than I thought. I think that kind of sucks...

...that they don't have as much pull as they claim, and that they have changed who they "support" if the one they want off does too much winning.

I don't know, I'm more concerned about the guy who has designed an autodialer program that you can download to your phone to auto dial a particular contestant.

Don't you think that all this can ruin the fun. I wish everyone could get one vote and thats it. I have another post for tomorrow that I wrote that claims that the entire voting process is a scam. I even have the math to prove it!
I just hope the information (although it makes perfect scense) is not accurate.

Since no one ever sees official totals, at least not that I know of, unless you work for the show or the company that "counts" the votes, who knows?

American Idol is strangely like American Democracy these days.

thanks for commenting on my article over at blogcritics btw.
