Is it just me, or does anyone else think it’s interesting that the American Idol vote-offs go in orderly boy-girl-boy-girl order, always leaving an equal number of boys and girls on the remaining roster? I’m not sure, but I think it was the same last time too. I guess I can understand starting with an equal number of each sex, as they did both times. But the orderliness of the ousters seems to strain probability a little.

No, no, it’s all completely random and not fixed in any way whatsoever to suit the overall ‘entertainment’ value of the product. Didn’t you know: it’s an actual contest, not a TV show with a strong interest in future product endorsement. Really!

I go now.
You’re saying it’s rigged??? No! Say it isn’t so! It’s the last bastion of decency and goodness we have! Must you take this from us too? You bastards!
Aren’t the most marketable singers, by definition, the ones who… get the most votes?
The whole show is like a focus group. Maybe I’m being thick-headed, but I don’t see why they would rig it.
