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 complete guidelines.

"Calling for an audit"
According to The Drudge Report's headline, critics are calling for an audit of AI. Drudge has the quote "I think we are looking at a modern day version of the $64,000 question!"

There is yet to be a linked article to Drudge's headline, so stay tuned for more developments.

1. "RE: Calling for an audit"
I agree something needs to be done...I posted this on the spoiler thread but this is what confuses me.....

I think the whole voting thing is bogus....they keep saying 24 million people voted but thats not right because you can vote more than once. Either there was 24 million VOTERS...which would mean more than that many actually VOTES...or there were 24 million VOTES...which means a million people could have voted 24 times!

Dawg,

Thanks for posting this. Have you read Newsweek this week? It has some Simon Quotes that lead me to beleive Ruben would win, even back to last weeks show when Kim was still in the running.

He says to Paula, Ruben has given a horrible practice, but Kim just gave the practice of her life, and Ruben has to make the F2.

The whole thing seems fishy to me.

If you catch someone named "SurvivinDawg" arguing with you about this, shoot him. It ain't me!

Not only that, Ruben has been painted as the poor kid who has worked his way up to glory. I don't have any problem with Ruben; I wish him well. But it's pretty obvious how it was meant to go down.

Here's a link to that Newsweek article: http://www.msnbc.com/news/914098.asp

Relevant passage:
SIMON’S NEVER BEEN much for chitchat, but he’s particularly on edge now because of something strange occurring onstage. Kimberley Locke, who most everyone believes is a long shot to make it to the finals, is singing the pants off Ruben Studdard. Clay Aiken isn’t at his best, but Studdard is really off. His rendition of Peabo Bryson’s “If Ever I’m in Your Arms Again” is so obviously uninspired that the judges are clearly worried. They even tell him to take off his distracting hat and sing again, even though the judges almost never comment on performers before the show. “We have a problem,” Cowell is overheard carping outside the soundstage later. “I want Ruben to be in the final two, and Kimberley just had a great rehearsal.”

Here's an odd one.

We have two phones, a cell phone and a regular wired phone. Tuesday evening, I had them both out so my daughter and I could vote for Clay numerous times. After the show, for about 75 minutes, we could not get through on either phone. (I had dialed the number and hit "redial".) Finally we got through on the wired phone. Thereafter, we were able to vote numerous times (about 20-25) on the wired house phone, with usually about 1 busy signal between successful votes.

Meanwhile, we could never get through on the cell phone. We switched off between ourselves, and we reentered the number numerous times just to make sure it was correct. Nothing worked. We never got through once on the cell phone.

This is just too odd. Cannot be a coincidence.

LAST EDITED ON 05-22-03 AT 03:41 PM (EST)

I think THIS is the key line, and the hole in the conspiracy theory:

"Listen, I've been around Hollywood for a long, long time, and this reeks of a contrived, phony ending," a top executive from a rival network charged Thursday morning. "No one here believes for one second the votes landed just 1,300 apart. It's a disgrace... in fact, I think we are looking at a modern day version of the $64,000 question!"

the numbers snafu makes them look guilty of nothing more than stupidity, sorry folks

This whole conspiracy thing is actually being created and promoted by secret Fox operatives on all boards because if there was a conspiracy and they used various technological and psychological techniques to get the result they wanted they look clever.

Otherwise they just look like another group of clueless network bozos.
