Self-anointed celebrity: Perez Hilton?
Another recent reality-type contest: Miss USA?

How to Upset the Outcome of a Reality Show

BlindGossip - Which reality show outcome may be pinned on the actions of someone completely unaffiliated with the contest? The producers were well aware of the controversy generated by a certain self-anointed celebrity on another recent reality-type contest. They were concerned that if the same celebrity got too vocal about one of their finalists, it might actually result in a public backlash against their favorite. The producers even spent a few minutes of a meeting discussing strategies as to how to incentivize the celebrity to keep quiet in the final weeks of the contest. They eventually decided that they were better off not adding any more fuel to the egoist’s fire.

I don’t know if anyone else saw an “after broadcast” interview with Adam last night, but he went into the speech patterns and cadance of the openly gay guy. A little lispy, etc. He had never allowed himself to talk that way on TV during the tapings. He seemed to be outing himself.

Perhaps. Altho I’ve encountered the same speech patterns with those who may not be gay - they may just hang out with gays.

But he made the choice to AVOID that speech pattern during the competition, I noticed.

america is not babylon yet.
we do not have a drag queen american idol

I’ll take whatever victory I can get now. And a huge LOL! at the Obama-ites of American Idol who tried to engineer this for Adam from the beginning. A Christian beat your drag queen. Choke on that :)

Wow.

How very Christian of you!

I agree. Bikini Girl looked totally stunned, then pissed. It was the best part of the night for me. LOL. I gained respect for Kara after that.

I was talking to my Florida doctor yesterday and got a surprise. Anoop Desai is his nephew. He said Anoop is a very nice, hardworking kid who is studying for a doctorate in philosophy. I've never watched Idol, so I went to YouTube to hear Anoop sing. He has a very fine voice.

Without a doubt, the funniest bit of the night. Loved Ryan's comment about "what's new" and LOVED Kara doing her thing. Nice abs...

Thanks for having me sir!

[silent_jonny]

Are you kidding...can't you hear the drive-bys tomorrow? Did the anti-gay Christian vote oust the superstar Adam???

Pfft. I would say to them, If he's such a superstar then why does he have to win American Idol?
