In MY opinion, they should not have even been allowed past security!! I thought the rules were you couldn't even apply if you had a prior felony. Isn't that why they weren't allowed to participate LAST season?? SO, what changed??

That's ridiculous!!

I thought the main problem was telling the producers you did not have a record when you do have one.

I'm not sure what the crimes you can have and crimes you can't have ever been stated publicly, so I don't know that these two would automatically not be allowed.

That's correct -- I'm guessing there are some crimes that would probably cause them to excerise some fine print right to exclude you, but the way it's worked is that you only need to be upfront about your criminal record, not that you can't have one.

Several Idol finalists have had things come out over the years, and "they'd already told us about it before the show started so it's not a big deal" has basically been the show's answer. Bo Bice and Scott Savol immediatley come to mind.

UPDATE:

A statement issued by Fox, the network that airs American Idol, stated that "Scott Savol was forthcoming to the American Idol producers and the network regarding his misdemeanor. After reviewing the facts, in which the charges were reduced to disorderly conduct, we felt that considering Scott's honesty and his remorse, the situation did not warrant his disqualification."

I don't want to see them again. I didn't like their attitudes the last time we saw them. It was like they thought they were 'entitled' or something. Let's hope Nigel keeps them off the air this year.

Yep, they bother me as well. I wouldn't buy any music they do put out just because I really don't like them as people.

What happened to them? Did anyone else notice that they didn't make an appearance like we thought they would?

Never mind I just read the article again and must have misunderstood it the first time. So I know what happened sorry about the "fake" post.
