    No doubt, Carrie is my favorite too!

    Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

    From what I am reading....they won't sing again, they will just re-cap last nights performances with maybe some interviews or something. They will open the phone line again for 2 hours and have the results show tomorrow.

    What I don't get is, the performance shows are supposedly taped on Monday, I can't believe SOMEONE didn't pick up on the numbers being off before last night.

    Public Relations ploy maybe???

    Everybody get ready to call me "cynical", but I have a theory about all "reality" shows. This segment of the entertainment market has become so huge, that I don't think that the producers of these shows leave anything to "chance". I think the producers manipulate the scenarios and the outcomes of all of these shows based on intense market and psychological research to achieve maximum audience viewing and reaction. I think they go so far as to "coach" participants on what reactions they want and "script" them accordingly for maximum impact. I don't think the voting of AI is even considered, I think the producers determine the outcomes dictated by maximum viewing share tendencies. This started years ago with the "$64,000 Question" quiz show scandals.

    I read also that alot of Paula's and Simon's "bickering and fighting" is scripted. I guess to draw more interest to the show. BTW,some trivia for ya. Remember the first season of AI,they had two hosts,Ryan Seacrest and one other person. Can anyone name him?
