Default Re: I bet they only show bottom 2 Wensday

i don't think they will go to the bottom 3 unless sanjaya is in the bottom 3. They don't want to reveal who out of Jordin, Lakisha and Blake are in the bottom 3 because they want them to last longer then sanjaya.

Your basic premise is silly. AI management would have to be out of their minds to be plotting against Sanjaya.

American Idol is a business. Specifically they are in the television business where ratings and revenues are essentially the same thing. Sanjaya is very good for ratings and hence very good for business. Every week he survives is money in the bank. Protecting the other contestants from him is the last thing they should be doing.

With only seven contestants and an hour to fill, they are going to want to maximize drama opportunities. A repeat of the week-of-11 bottom two format seems very unlikely. That was a half hour show with too much stuff (most commercials [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) in it and the quick reduction to bottom two saved some time.
