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.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. "RE: they could avoid the Sanjaya phenomenon" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-20-07 AT 09:01 PM (EST)A few problems there Vote totals plummet due to having the comprehend two steps equalling less ability to brag about voting numbers They'll need several numbers to call to keep up with the crowds as lines get jammed as is with one step Morons who can't follow two steps won't under stand when their vote for contestant number 10 was taken as contestant number 1, and then they will cause a stink Additionally, you have to figure somebody would make a program capable of pushing two more numbers after a three second delay. P.S. They could have avoided the Sanjaya phenomenon by not putting Sanjaya on the show

Certainly with the number of people that apply they could actually put up 24 people who could sing AND perform on stage. Part of why VFTW and others got going is it is obvious that they put the bad singers/performers in there purposefully. If they don't want America to vote for bad singers/bad performers, Do.Not.Put.Them.Through.Fixing the voting however they choose to fix it does nothing if they don't have decent talent to start with, IMO. Besides, they are too addicted to the high vote totals. I also think that for driving ratings (which is more important, again IMO, to them that getting someone that can have a real career) the way the vote now is done works really well. They seem to have upped the capacity this year, the amount of busy signals seems way down from last year, but if they want to have even higher vote totals, you gotta have ever increasing capacity. Thanks to Scarlett O Hara for the memorial sig pic.

Jinx. But yeah, I forgot to mention that there are far less busy signals this year. I think this week was the first in which Dialidol was spot on in order, even without MOE. That's probably a signal of more centralized voting. And I agree that they put in people they consider cannon fodder or who appeal to (supposedly) very narrow groups. For instance, did anyone think Amy Krebs, Nicole Tranquillo, or even Leslie Hunt had a shot in hell at making Top 10? How about Jared Cotter, Paul Kim, and A.J. Tabaldo? All six were pretty much fodder so if a Lakisha or Chris Richardson had a bad performance, they could still skate by. The problem with that is that, once in a while, that kind of fodder catches fire with voters. Usually it'll get them to Top 10 or 8 (like Haley and Sanjaya this year). Then there's quasi-fodder, meaning people who the judges know can't or shouldn't win, but who will be solid competition to make it legit for a true winner. That backfired horribly last year when Taylor won, and I think Lakisha and Scott Savol and Anthony Federov fell into that category.

I think they should adopt a Dancing With The Stars voting system where the judges votes count for half and the votes are limited per phone line, I think this helps to weed out the bad dancers on the show and it could help weed out the bad singers in the show as well.
