PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the

"The PicklerLuvFactor rides again" |
There are a couple possible factors for Chris being in teh bottom three, but the one HUGE factor is what i like to call the mysterious PicklerLuvFactor. The fact that hordes of prepubescent boys and girls (and most likely a lot of postpubescent boys) are voting is definately skewing the bottom three. I still believe that people vote on a week-by-week basis. Given the fact that Chris' performance was NOT a blow-away performance like Elliot's and Kat's did contribute, but i think the PicklerLuvFactor pushed him over the edge and into the bottom three. From what we can see, she's definately on a ride into the final four. I get memories of Nikki McKibbin. This is definately not unprecedented.

The biggest factor for Chris being bottom three was singing first. The biggest factor for Elliott not being in the bottom three was Simon telling him he was in trouble. Kellie is attractive, she has a decent singing voice, she has a good backstory, and the producers have pimped her to the gills ever since the audition-phase, far more so than anyone other than Taylor. While she is definitely the poorest singer of the remaining six, she is in no way as bad as John Stevens, Scott Savol, Anthony Federov, Jasmine Trias, or any of a number of other singers who got this far and beat out better singers, and she has gotten pimped much more than any of those others.

LAST EDITED ON 04-20-06 AT 04:57 PM (EST)I agree, Kellie has more personality than Katharine...but that's not a good thing for me, not one bit. I, like others, find her annoying, and either dumb or (at least) partially faking the naivity trait. I prefer what we see of Kat's personality, which isn't that much (although people try to paint her otherwise, I don't see it), over Kellie's. Personally, give me the less personality based singer with the better voice any day.* I'm not going to bash anyone for liking her, I just don't understand it. She's untrained, lacks experience, and while she is cute and she isn't the worst singer to ever grace the stage, she has to be pretty close in the recent seasons (note: not named John Stephens). Of course, I was a big Scott fan and pretty much everyone thought he was horrible and I could see why, so maybe she's just the attractive, nice version of him, with a different voice... *(Major disclaimer: We do not know these people. For all I know, Kat could be a queen ##### while Kellie is genuinely nice and tries her best. I can only go by what I see, and that isn't much).

31. "RE: The PicklerLuvFactor rides again" |
I'm right there with you, PRE. BTW, I am 35, FEMALE and I think Kellie is a doll. I also think a lot of her fan base are my age & older as my older relatives, grandparents & a lot of their friends love sweet Kellie.As a blonde who has been the recipient of "quick judgments" of narrow minded people who assume that if you are blonde, with a happy-go-lucky, smiley, positive attitude, who has a decent figure and decent looking then you must be stupid, slutty, snobby and a whole host of negative things, I tend to get defensive over girls like Kellie, whom are being raked over the coals for no good reason than A.S.S.U.M.P.T.I.O.N.S. Kellie may not be the best singer up there, but she is pretty darn good & earned her spot. She is also the only contestant left not GROOMED to perform (Katharine/Paris & to some extent Elliot) & without years of experience (Chris & Taylor). Even though she messed up Tue, she still sounded pretty good & tried to recover & admitted she got lost on the timing. Her style won't suit everybody (I don't care for country, but I still like Kellie & her voice & would love to see her as a POP/country performer), but Kellie has held her own every week except for Stevie week and there were many others who also blew that week. Kellie always has a big smile on her face and has done nothing that I have seen to indicate that she is "fake" it's an "act" or that she is manipulative??? Seriously, she is a 19-year-old little girl from a small town, raised mostly by her grandparents, how manipulative could she be? Kellie is just a little girl in this BIG competition. The AI producers are the ones that initially saw that something special in Kellie and chose to showcase her the way they have and are. THEY are the ones who put her backstory on our screens for us to watch. THEY are the ones who have Ryan tease Kellie to see if she'll say something silly. THEY are the ones who tell the contestants where to stand/sit on that stage. THEY are the ones who edit the clips for us to see. If they like Kellie and they are the ones who have to bankroll the deal for the winner and want BIG returns why should Kellie be blamed or faulted? Good for her. I didn't intend to climb on this soap box, but I just think Kellie is getting a lot of hateful things thrown her way that are not justified or deserved. But I am sure her grandfather is there telling Kellie that it doesn't matter what people say about her, it's who she is in her heart that really matters and she should ignore it and just be who she is. She has nothing to be sorry for.

She is eye candy, like Ace. Why is it OK for a woman to make it on her looks alone, & not a man? They both have about the same amount of talent.

In my experience, teen age girls could teach politicians, lawyers, & advertising execs. a few tricks.
I do want to thank you for your post...I have been wondering who the Pickle fans are. I may not agree, but I appreciate having my eyes opened to another point of view.

the only contestant left not GROOMED to perform
Maybe not by her family, but she's groomed herself. She's a karaoke beauty queen if ever there was one. She's been singing and practicing long before she ever got on AI. Her style won't suit everybody
AMEN to that. I listen to country radio and the thought of having to listen to her over and over makes my skin crawl. She sets country music back 20 years with her bimbo act. I can't imagine hearing her in an interview. It will be worse than nails on a chalkboard. Kellie is just a little girl in this BIG competition.
Oh, spare me. Did you see her wink? Have you seen her clothes? Her makeup? Her dance? She's no more a little girl than you or I? She's no one's fool and is playing millions of people FOR the fool if they think she's some backwoods hick who doesn't know what she's doing up there on stage. Kellie has held her own every week except for Stevie week and there were many others who also blew that week.
She was terrible last week--couldn't keep up with her music, was all over the place vocally and should have been gone if it were based strictly on performance.  Miscellaneous Ramblings
--she's no minx..she's a fox as in crazy like one and she's going to ride this dumb blonde thing as far as she can.

What I cannot stand about her is her complete fake act...it's fake fake fake fake fake fake (in my best Elaine voice) I just want to punch her blond head every time I see it. I am rooting for Elliott to win the whole thing now. Taylor is a SPAZ..thanks gizmo and Dweeze I agree get him off the stage now!! Chris..I don't want him to win or even get to F2...I hope he completely rocks out opera next week and says UP YOURS SIMON!!

ETA: I was thinking last nite, bc this is not the 1st time they've done this lame gimmick...I think the producers looked at the 4 safe ones, and chose Taylor knowing the baffoon would do it and told him about this beforehand...and he agreed, but that's just a feeling I got...they may have even told him to do the hand shake...I just did not like it at all. I could be totally off base, this does happens often.... But besides that Taylor has become a parody of himself...which show spoofed him SNL or MadTV I don't watch em

Well, at least there better be no freakin way she wins! I will admit that it is worse than nails on a chalkboard when she talks (for me anyway). But I will also admit that singing-wise she isn't TOO terrible. That said...she is certainly VERY far from being the best singer and choice for AI. I would break up with the show if that happened.

>But she's from the south and
>she sings country music.
>That makes her stupid, right?
>*rolls eyes* No, that doesn't make her stupid. SHE makes herself stupid. I absolutely love Dolly Parton, even with all of the plastic surgery, because she is a consummate artist and one hell of a businesswoman. She was an excellent artist as a young woman. No one can say that of The Pickle. Plus, she appears to be doing a very poor imitation of Dolly Parton and other great women country singers (Coal Miner's Daughter springs to my mind.) Those ladies can write music, sing music, run businesses, and help people. I admire them as much as I admire Tina Turner, another great lady from the Deep South who sings another genre of music. None of these ladies are dumb, and they were not dumb as young artists, even if some of them had rocky relationships and made questionable choices about staying in them. The Pickle focuses on sounding like a dumb idiot everytime the camera is on her. Her age has nothing to do with her dumbness. She's a walking caricature of all that is bad about Southern musical culture. And besides that, she cannot sing her way out of a brown paper bag. Taylor, Paris, and Kat are legions ahead of her stylistically and technically. The same is true of Chris and Elliot. I would pick ANY of this lot over The Pickle, because quite simply, they can sing. The Pickle cannot. --Singer

I also think Chris did very well on both Country night and this week.Chris has a very versatile voice, which is beautiful when singing more mellow songs and ballads, but at the same time it is also a great rock voice when singing the belters. He obviously has great control of his voice compared to Constantine who seemed to lose control when belting out teh rock songs. Where Chris has been 'bad' has been in some of his song selections. Choosing "What If" by Creed was a bad choice because the song was boring and repetitive and didn't ahve a the 'wow' factor. I also agree that his Queen selection was bad in terms of audience response. He sang it very well, and i was impressed, but i admit i was hoping he would do a better known song like "Under Pressure" and 'have a moment' like Simon said. Next week should be interesting for Chris. I'd love to see the list of song possibilities that they provided to the contestants. geekboy

I very much want Kellie to leave mostly because I don't like country music. Honestly I find myself cursing when she's singing it well because I know she'll hang on another week.My favorites are Elliott and Chris. At first it was Chris because I'd be thrilled for an Alternative rocker to win. I like the genre. It's contemporary. I like to hear it. That man can sing it well. As he was strongly encouraged to drift away from it I grew to appreciate Elliot more and more. As other people were still in the race I've been voting to keep him around. My constant dream is for Kelly to go next but it's not going to happen. Carrie Underwood is doing amazingly well in the C&W world and I'm sure Kellie is getting a huge following from there alone. It's a very large market all over the US. Kellie will stick around for awhile even though she wrecked that song I love "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered". I thought I was going to have to like her for singing it. But she killed it, killed it I say. I suspect she'll outlast Paris, Elliott, and Katharine - at least.

64. "RE: The PicklerLuvFactor rides again" |
New to the AI board, hello all.After reading through this thread, I felt compelled to give my own 2 cents. It seems there's a general consensus on this board that Pickler is ACTING dumb. I'm not quite sure where this comes from. Has there been some news I'm not aware of that states that she's really smart, but just acting? I am NEVER surprised at how stupid people can be...I see it every day, so I would not be one bit surprised if Kellie was that stupid. And if that's how she's getting votes, that's even worse. What, do people sit on their couch at home and think..."Awwww, honey, look at how amazingly dumb she is, we should vote for her."? And to the poster that mentioned that women who are blond and attractive are automatically thought of as stupid...neither the fact that Kellie is blond or attractive (to some I guess), has ever made me think that she was stupid. It's the words that come out of her mouth. Actually, it might not have been anything she's ever said, it was the week after she had first mentioned her eyelashes were like tarantulas, that Ryan asked her something (what are you up to? something really general), and Kellie just stared, the most blank stare I've ever seen, and then mentioned how her eyelashes weren't like tarantulas this week. I love AI, it's almost always entertaining, and I look forward to everyone's performance, except hers. She drives me nuts, and I don't understand why she is still in the competition. I really hope she doesn't outlast any of my favorites, or even, god-forbid , actually win the competition. If that happens, I'll never watch the show again. Not trying to be inflammatory, just how I feel
Nice to meet you all

I love Kellie. She reminds me of my niece, which while not dumb per se, she's what one would call booksmart, yet we have to explain movie plots and she never quite gets the punchline of a joke. Kellie's kind of like that. So what that she pronounced salmon with the L, I've mispronounced plenty of words in my time. And they shouldn't have put that stupid silent L in there anyway. And while not a country music fan I could see me watching a Pickle video on CMT someday. I'd like a Pickle/Hicks final 2.

Don't dismiss that idea so easily. Who hasn't yet been in the bottom 3? Pickler and Hicks. May change this week, but ya never know.

76. "Kellie's home town on local newsreport" |
NPR station here during the local news did a short story on Kellie's hometown.Apparently they close the main street down to traffic, have a street party for the show and then hand out cell phones for people to text message for free (to them, I know someone is picking up the tab, maybe local cell phone company?) I didn't catch how many text messages they said they sent from the party but it was quite a few. I know all home towns rally behind an idol, but this is more than I usually hear about.

82. "RE: It's Time For Kellie To Go " |
After last night's abomination, I am convinced that Kellie wants to go. She knows she is out of her league and I think her "fans" should just let her go and not continue to let her embarass herself on national television.
Two weeks in a row she bastardized the song and then stood there like, "Golly, I just don't know what happened". I swear, I think this type of pathetic display is an Idol first! I feel like I'm watching a high school cabaret contest!

I am actually starting to feel sorry for her. Every season somebody gets hung out to dry because people keep voting for them even though they are not in the same league as the other contestants who are left. This year it's Kellie.
It's painful to watch because they can't just walk away at the point that it starts to get very uncomfortable.

Sorry, can't agree with that.If VFTW had so much impact to make a person who was going home into a person that hasn't seen the B3 once, then Kevin Covais, and Brenna Geathers, and Scott Savol/John Stephens would have lasted even longer. Well, at least the first two. They may have the impact to keep a person from going home, but from there to safe every week? People like Janay Castine and her ilk would have lasted longer. They likely help, but they can't be blamed solely for keeping her on. And perhaps the cute little girl isn't ready for this kind of scene if she is crying over being kept on the most popular show on television by, mostly, legitimate fans. Maybe she simply isn't emotionally mature enough. Of course, that hasn't stopped Paula Abdul for hosting the show for five years, but...

Disagree. VFTW combined with actual fanbase makes made a big difference. She would have never made it this far without them. I don't believe they kept her in there on their own. They're not that powerful. She has a huge fanbase all by herself. She didn't really even need them to make it farther than she should have but they certainly assisted her in getting to 6th (going by our top 12, that was 5 places too many). I have no comment about emotional stability because I lack it. Oh, you said maturity. There's a difference. I'm not sure which category Kellie falls into but I'm guessing it's stability not maturity. One must assume what the "Idols" go through is very stressful and stress takes a big toll on emotions. (I won't even bring up her family.) Not everybody can take being kicked with a smile. You have to be quite confident and quite sure of yourself to be able to smile through that kind of criticism in front of millions of people. {/shameless Bucky plug} And I think we can all agree that she knew she was out of her league at this point. Back to VFTW - I'm not a supporter of Kellie's. I never even considered voting for her. I guess I see no need to put anybody in a position to be made a fool of. I'd like to see Idol suffer for their stupid addictive little show but not at one person's, especially a likeable person's, expense. I'm glad she got to go this week. 
You're using Scott Savol as a comparison? How much farther could Scott Savol have possibly made it? LOL. yeesh.

91. "RE: It's Time For Kellie To Go " |
Reasonable minds can differ on the maturity/stability. I don't think arguing that anymore would do good, I see your point on it. I still say emotional maturity has some factor in being able to take it. I'm emotionally stable, but I likely couldn't handle the VFTW kind of thing. Of course, I'm not auditioning for American Idol and signing a contract for a show to exploit me like the AI people do.Although, Kellie was only not affected by Vote For the Worst for a total of four weeks. For the Top 24 and Top 20 weeks, the female choice was Brenna Gethers. For the Top 12 and Top 11 weeks, the choice was Kevin Covais. For Top 16, and Top 10-Top 6, the choice was Pickler. The only source for any outside voting predictions is dialidol, so here are Pickler's numbers. 24: Pickler was 1st among females, 2nd overall
20: Pickler was 1st among females, 1st overall
(VFTW takes support)
16: Pickler was 1st among females, 3rd overall (note: Kevin Covais' support was taken this week, he was 1st/1st)
(VFTW removes support, females/males merged)
12: Pickler was 2nd overall
11: Pickler was 1st-4th overall, placed 2nd
(VFTW resumes support)
10: Pickler was 2nd overall
9: Pickler was 2nd-4th overall, placed 3rd.
8: Pickler was 2nd-3rd overall, placed 2nd
7: Pickler was 2nd-6th overall, placed 4th
6: Pickler was 4th-6th overall, placed 6th (voted off) I just cannot see a huge corrolation there. The big note was Kevin, who experienced a ridiculous jump in the week he was placed as VFTW's favorite. Also, Kellie got a moderate boost from her choice week, but that could be coincidence. The rest stayed pretty level from what we can see, considering that scores go down weekly. VFTW certainly has impact, and I personally love what they do, but I cannot imagine it was that big to make a difference between a constant Top 2-3 contestant and a boot in any given week. As for Scott Savol, he wouldn't have made it farther anyway, I was just throwing in any successful Dialidol. It is one year to the day where Constantine got voted out over Scott after all. I think he could have made it to 4th, I actually preferred the blob to Anthony Fedorov.

Kevin got booted 11th, right? So that means Kellie should have gone out 10th. (really they should have gone 12th and 11th because Melissa was better than both of them <-- my opinion, of course) So I guess that's 4 places too many instead of 5. But yeah, I see your point too, FC, I do. VFTW doesn't make that big a difference but it does make some and at this stage in the game, I just think it's mean. I just got all sad and stuff when she teared up. I went into protective mode probably. That's just another side effect of my emotional instability. And right now I'm just very paranoid about who they're going to pick up next (Taylor, who doesn't need extra votes, Katharine, who would be very upset if she found out which she most likely will and that will put me into protective rant mode again, or Paris, who, well, I have nothing really to say about).
Not to mention Pickler outlasted my boyfriend and I am very bitter about that.
