Sanjaya looked like a "My Little Pony". I wanted to tie ribbons in his hair.
Oh his singing?.... I'm speechless. 
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

Did anybody see the 60 Minutes feature on Simon Cowell last week? Pretty interesting, he owns a piece of every version of 'Idol", and his company has exclusive rights to everybody's contracts, every single time any one of those kids sells a cd, it's money in his pocket, he's a pretty smart businessman, and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

There are quite a number of ways they can rig votes.
One easy way is to change the number of phone lines a contestant gets.
Say for example, Sanjaya has 100 phone lines open for 3 hours and Phil has 75 phone lines for 2 hours, 45 minutes.
Plus, there is the huge reverse-psychology that goes on in the voting, sympathy votes, and my favorite, the Vote For the Worst crew.
