Idol Ramblings

Anwar went home. Spanky is still a contender, although we still don't know who the hell is voting for him. At least the 3 bottom dwellers were the ones who deserved to be there. I did like Anwar but he wasn't final 3 material.

I predict Bo to be the winner with either Carrie or Vonzell and Constantine making up the final 3. I can't decide between Carrie and Vonzell right now. They both blow me away. I hate Constantine and he totally creeps me out with those nasty eyes and ugly double chin and now weirdly hi-lited hair. However, many others like Big C, so it stands to reason he'll hang around 'til the end. Sucks, but that's how it will go.

And in other news.....

Just in time for May sweeps, ABC News' "Primetime Live" is working on a potentially explosive expose on the Fox phenom "American Idol." Exact details of the report are still in flux, since Alphabet staffers are still in the process of reporting the story and vetting details. It's believed, however, that the report -- in the works for several months now -- will take a hard look at the relationship between "Idol" judges and contestants.

Insiders confirm that Fox and "Idol's" producers have been contacted by ABC News reps, who've said the net is working on a story about the show. ABC hasn't asked Fox or the producers to respond to any allegations, the insiders said. Though it may seem odd that an ABC newsmag would devote serious resources to a competing net's crown jewel, the huge ratings for "Idol" have made it fodder for numerous newsmag stories on other nets over the years. Indeed, in past seasons, "Primetime" has devoted entire hours to very flattering portraits of "Idol" contestants.
