An Idol Conspiracy? Vote for the Worst Thinks So

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Rumors, Spoilers,

In what is truly one of the cruelest headlines in the blogosphere, anti-American Idol site Vote for the Worst is crying conspiracy in Season 9. The site claims that Idol is so determined to get a female winner this year, the producers are purposefully stacking the Top 24 with male contestants who aren’t…shall we say, photogenic.

Pictures for the crop of Top 12 men are still pretty few and far between, and photos of every single one of them have not yet been obtained, which makes the conspiracy theory shaky at best. But more than that, American Idol has proven in past seasons that they don’t need to resort to a lot of contestant-stacking…not when they can go straight to the source and alter the votes themselves.

VFTW Gets Behind Speidi of The Hills

You may want to run for The Hills when you see Spencer and Heidi Pratt on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, which launches tonight on NBC. The show, which aired in 2003 (and was subsequently canceled shortly thereafter) has been re-introduced to the schedule, evidently because there aren’t enough good ideas for reality TV anymore. Vote For the Worst is already backing the couple in their usual tongue-in-cheek way, and their reports from the jungles of Costa Rica are the most interesting aspect of the entire show.

The anti-American Idol site has some connection to the series, as Season 6 Idol contender Sanjaya Malakar is among the cast. But it’s not Malakar - or his hair - that’s drawn quick attention from the site, even before a single minute of the new season has been aired. According to VFTW, “if we like it, we’ll start voting for the worst as always.” And while nothing is official, they’re already leaning strongly toward MTV’s most famous celebrity pair.

VFTW Scoops American Idol’s Top 3

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,

Vote For the Worst, the anti-American Idol site, revealed the results of the Top 3…before FOX even got the chance to do so.

How’s that possible? Apparently, much of the travel arrangements and the Idol schedules were already in place for the events which will be broadcast next week. Idol’s Top 3 always go back home to celebrate their reality TV accomplishments, and it seems that FOX had the foresight to plan these events well in advance.

The only trouble is, some of that information got leaked, and Idol’s Top 3 got a bit of an early reveal…or at least, a sneak peek. In a post dated May 6, 6:40 pm, VFTW revealed that Kris Allen and Danny Gokey were already in Idol’s Top 3. Somebody at Freemantle should run right out and re-check those gag orders.

VFTW Picks Their Champion: Tatiana Del Toro

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,

She’s bubbly, she’s attractive, she’s got a strong voice - and she annoys judge Simon Cowell to no end. She’s Tatiana Del Toro, one of the heavily-featured American Idol 8 contestants, and she’s got the might of Vote for the Worst behind her.

Del Toro emerged early as a favorite for the popular Idol-themed site, which prides itself in picking the “worst” contestants every season and encouraging viewers to vote. VFTW has previously sponsored contenders like Sanjaya Malakar, Taylor Hicks and Kristy Lee Cook. Generally, VFTW waits until the singing episodes of Idol start - but this year there’s just no need. Tatiana of the dramatic behavior, endlessly annoying giggle and strange fashion choices is their pick.

Will she be yours, too? Del Toro will be performing live tonight on the Idol stage - but will she really be bad enough to win the love of VFTW readers?
