First year watcher main reason was Chris. I watched Last nights result show to see the Final 3 contestants go to their home town and a thought occurred while watching this.

Elliot had the best turn out of fans in his home town so how could AI let him be voted off last week and Keep Chris on considering Chris's home town McLeansville, NC, population 1,080, is located in North Carolina's Guilford county, about 7.8 miles from Greensboro and 32.7 miles from Winston-Salem. probably wouldnt have attracted what AI was looking for for good TV. CHris is the best of the rest but it appears that Elliots homecoming and his events could have out done Chris and that is in my opinion why the rigged it for Chris to go home they knew he would be fine and its all about marketing.

In my view of the three:
Soul patrol has a diversed audience-would have preferred Elliot over him since that was the choice left.

Katherine appeals to Teenny boppers and has a huge family whom she cares nothing about she is truly proving to me that she is a stuck up conceded only about herself explicit.-not that great of a turn out for a person expected to win next week IMHO.

Elliot had by far the best homecoming experience of the three and I have to agree with Paula for the three that remain he is the best... of the mediocre. You knew he was going home because he was delayed a week.

Think about that dial thing.com that someone posted had Chris second in the votes by the end Elliot was second and Chris was last. Katherine was in the bottom 2 but it was Elliot who was suppose to go hes been in the bottom all season. But based on this weeks performances he outdid both tayler and Kathrine but hes now gone. If katherine wins this thing you know its fixed because its all about the marketing and I dont understand how Taylor could be in the top 2 he in my opinion there are 5 other singers in the final 12 that were and are better than him.

DialIdol had Elliott in 2nd (behind Taylor) for the entire span of the voting windows. Katharine and Chris were listed in 3rd and 4th, swapping back and forth for a while but by the end of the east coast voting window Chris was in 4th slightly behind Katharine, and stayed that way for the central and west voting windows.

It was Zabasearch that kept swapping Chris and Elliott throughout Wednesday before the results show, and their AI page is nothing but a scam to generate visits to their web site. They don't have any information whatsoever about vote totals. They just lie and say they do.

If Chris was to win this thing no one would be saying this show was rigged.

No, then it would be the Taylor or Katharine or Elliott fans that would be saying it's rigged. Nobody wants to believe that their favorite could be outvoted, so they claim the whole thing is rigged.

The Tamyra Gray fans said it was rigged in Season 1.

The Clay Aiken Estrogen Brigade and the Claymates said it was all rigged in Season 2.

The LaToya London fans said the same thing in Season 3.

The Constantine and Bo Bice fans said the same thing in Season 4.

And now in Season 5 the Mandisa, Ace, Chris, and Elliott fans are saying it's rigged. Next week whoever loses (probably Katharine) fans will say it's rigged.

It's not rigged, folks. The voters are just idiots.

LMAO I love people like you.

And for the record, not all Bo Bice fans said it was rigged.




rgdc's claim to fame, Bo Bice's band played at her bday party a few years back. Oh okay, so my birthday party was held at the club they played at. Still, they sang happy birthday to me.

The way I see it, you're the idiot Bob....

Excuse me? What did I say that offended you?

Bob

Mayhap the truth?

I'm just confused because I would assume somebody with the name "chrisfan66" posting on a Chris fan site would agree that the voters this season are idiots (for the most part, anyway).

Bob

You see, that's your problem. You expect things out of people on a message board.

Live and Learn.

I guess because I voted non-stop for Chris this season, you were implying I was an idiot....sorry if I misunderstood your comment. Oh, and also the fact that you truly don't believe the show is rigged? C'mon...it's just entertainment.

rgdc are you from Madison county?

Shreyas01

No. But, close enough.

Ah... I see. A misunderstanding.

I'm saying that the reason Chris isn't on the show anymore is not because it's rigged... it's because the voters are idiots. (Implied: except for those who voted for Chris.)

Cheers,
Bob

Oh, why didn't you say that in the first place? My bad...

That's ok, I hate admitting it too LOL And your right that BO BICE fans didn't really put a fuss about the voting, however, if you ask me, He had the technially better voice, but that's ok, he went Platium and Carrie sold 3 million, so what do you say?

Shreyas01

Well, I sorta did... but the way I said it was intended to be humorous. Johnsonfam, SexiChris and rgdc caught my drift. I could have said it the way I did in my other post, but then it wouldn't have been as humorous.

It's never as funny after you explain it anyway...

Cheers,
Bob
