I don't know whether this has been pointed out or not, as I haven't read the 79 comments that preceded me to this thread (yes, I do have a life outside of A.I.; sorry).

But the competiton was not "Tatiana vs. Danny" as predictably hyped by the show's producers. That was 100% fake drama. Danny placed either first or second in the voting, whereas Tatiana could have placed no better than fifth, as Ryan let out of the bag when pretty boy pipe-fitter dude and "Anoop Dawg" were brought out for their minute of reckoning.

Ryan stated at that time there was only a difference of 20K votes between the two, implying that Anoop finished just behind Michael but out of the money, ergo fourth place. That makes Danny and Jailbait Barbie either 1-2, or 2-1.

I'm thinking Tatiana may have finished even lower than fifth, as I don't see a constituency for her outside of VFTW and she isn't nearly as entertaining now that she's back on her meds, as I pointed out in my earlier post.

Come on guys - get behind Alexis. If she'd put on the catholic schoolgirl outfit and sing, "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" I'd vote for her myself.

According to DialIdol, she was the number 2 female vote getter, but I did not see a comprehensive ranking of all 12. I think she was closer than you think :)

Well, fifth would be the "number two female", behind Jailbait Barbie and three dudes. So, fifth it is.

Is it just me or does Tatiana turn her accent on and off at will? Just wondering....

I posted this somewhere else by accident, but does anyone else notice that whenever Danny tries to use his dead wife to get votes, he always uses the same picture. Were they not together long enough for him to have more than one picture or is he saving those for the montage that will play as he sings in the finals? Just wondering.

Maybe it's like the Seinfeld ep where George pretends the picture of Jerry's girlfriend is his dead finacee to get into the nightspot in the meat-packing district.

Maybe Danny Gokey (would Ned Flanders call him Gokily-Dokily?) was never married. Which makes you wonder where Jamar really fits in.

That's one heck of a theory! This was his last year to try out, right? Age-wise I mean. So if he didn't make the most of it this year he wouldn't have another opportunity.

I have to say I am pretty upset over her not making it. I was even more upset she didn't jump on Fanny Danny and beat him to a pulp. Man that would have been funny. She was looking at him like " You stole my dream."

This new voting thing is real confusing too. I mean when are they going to pick the wild card or cards? Are they going to put the top of every group for one more sing off? Is there one than one wild card spot? AI need to lay the rules out again so we are not lost.

Next candidates

MPD - Norman

Drama Queen - Nick

LiL Clay - nerd boy who sang in his closet and got sick

I think the folks here at VFTW have lost their focus. Remember, the name of the website is “Vote for the WORST.” Yet just about everybody here keeps going on &; on about how good Tatiana was, so much better than all the others, she was cheated, etc. She most obviously WASN’T the WORST, so why had she become the darling of VFTW? The answer is simple – VFTW was exploiting Tatiana for the exact same reasons AI was – her serious mental health issues made her “more interesting” (in a pathetic kind of way). AI has always exploited folks with mental health issues before, but it’s always been during the try-outs. Sooner or later, they were bound to come across somebody who was both seriously disturbed and seriously talented.

I’m just sorry to see that VFTW has been sucked into a trap set for them by AI. I thought you guys were smarter than that.

I bet she'll be back as a Wild Card pick. She better be *shakes fist*.
