LAST EDITED ON 06-17-04 AT 00:08 AM (EST)I.E. They are just there to attract people and have NOTHING to do with who is selected.
I just got done watching and I felt bad for Drew and Brett. I'd hate to be used as a face to attract ratings like that. :/ LCS should've been straight up with them all when they asked them onto the show instead of letting it slide by that their votes weren't the deciding votes.
Then there was that one part where Drew was talking with one of the producers(?) and he asked 'Do the folks at home know we're not the only ones voting?' and the producer said yes.
I don't know about anyone else but I didn't know anyone else was voting. Who is it? If we're supposed to know, why haven't these mystery people been introduced to us, the audience members at home?
I know Mr Carey probably won't ever see this but I'd like to say that the producer lied, Drew - not all of us at home knew you guys weren't the only voters. We do NOW but still...
As an aside I don't necessarily disagree with all the choices but I think that's pretty messed up. I'll keep watching but I can say that the whole celebrity panel of judges thing really doesn't matter to me anymore. I'll just be watching to see the comic acts and take it for granted that the producers, in their infinite wisdom, have already decided what the last show's outcome will be.
