WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? THIS IS THE ONE GUY I DIDN'T WANT TO WIN IN THE ENTIRE COMPETITION. Thanks to YOU American Idol could potentially be ruined FOREVER. 3 white guys with fucking guitars in a fucking row. Congratufuckinglations. But still, seriouslee, LEE? HE WAS THE FUCKING CHOSEN ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
-Wilky

So which one of you are going to put yourself out there next season and appear on American Idol?  Which one of you has a skin or dental problem but decide that a little self humiliation may just be a dues to pay on the way.  Sure these people put themselves out there.  You could say that they deserve what they get.  I get it.  I just want to know when YOU will put yourself out there in the hopes that your dreary life might change and you can bring some happiness to the people who care about you.  Worsters talk the talk but can they walk a walk?
-Deborah

What is the point of your group ruining the true vote of the true voters? WHy do you hate? Why do you want people to vote for the worst? Is it some childhood issue you can't deal with? Did you not get pampered by your parents and are lashing out? You're all a bunch of whiney, spoiled brat, people hating losers.
-Stan

TYou losers are playing games with someones lofe. I bet you were bullies and don't care about anything but you warped sense of fun. Well its someones LIFE you Aholes!
-KAC

you guys are assholes. may your computers crash, your houses fall down,, and your kids get beat up at school.
-Marty

I think you guys are un nice and unfair! You're just like the rel world, oops, I guess the world is that way too!
-Aria

I can't believe you are happy to take something away from a kid that deserves it.  All you had to did change the channel.  What would you say to Crystal if you talked to her today?  Shame on you for doing a bad thing for money.  That's the ultimate bad karma - it'll bite you in the ass every time.

I think this says it all: A New York Times article in 2002 cited a number of scientific studies of schadenfreude, which it defined as "delighting in others' misfortune." Many such studies are based on social comparison theory, the idea that when people around us have bad luck, we look better to ourselves. Other researchers have found that people with low self-esteem are more likely to feel schadenfreude than are people who have high self-esteem.

you are all really stupid. this wasnt a vote for the worst victory, you lost right when tim left. after that there was no one left that deserved your support. i just find it really funny that you claim to hate the show but you spent every tuesday and wednesday watching it. and when you ran out of bad contestants you chose people simply just to have someone to help advance on and ruin the competition. well let me tell you, you didnt ruin it at all. i may have been a crystal fan but lee was also definitely good enough to win. so you might want to get rid of "We did it! Lee DeWyze won American Idol with our help. Thanks to everyone who voted for Off Key Lee!" from your homepage. because it just makes you look like a bunch of pathetic losers who refused to accept that they were beaten many many weeks ago. So good luck, i hope you enjoy watching the next seasons of American Idol even though you hate it so much. Way to be, guys. Way. To. Be.

I know I skewed the vote with my DID test bridge, I generated 10,000 calls per minute for the entire duration. I have a colleague that used his SIP asterisk box to generate even more. I think you missed the point that a large number of telecom workers personally hate these shows for what they do to our late nights. Since we have to be online anyway... well.. Vote For the Worst until it's over.

Want some cheese to go with all the whining you people do on your lame website?  For people who say "we don't hate American Idol", you certainly do know how to contradict yourselves!  All you fucking do is whine on your website all day, everday.  STFU ALREADY!  Nobody is forcing you to watch the show so stop your fucking whining and while your at it...stop speaking for the rest of America.  Unlike you, most of us have lives and don't need to run a "website that makes fun of others" to feel better about ourselves. You really are the true definition of troll...

you bastards

I could really care less who wins, I watched the show.  I will not be buying any of the cd's and don't listen to the radio..so be it Lee, or Crystal....NOT a concern of mine.
I do find it funny though that you didn't have one bad thing to say about Lee the whole season and now that he is in the finals you decide he is the worst?  Crystal sucked more often than Lee did but did have a better night last night.  Lee overall had more better performances.
I read over your site and it has all this stuff about all the peeps you guys hate..  Who do you acutally like?  What music/singers do you think are worth while.  I think if your gonna slam shit all the time, you should be able to support something you do like so that we can see what your tastes are?  So that we can see your reasoning why you say this person or that person sucks.  You say Lee sucks....but you like who?  Who do you support.  Cause it's all good, but then say we find out you back the shitty ass singer Rhinanna or Who ever then your soap box platform crumbles.
I say they all suck and think that people like Elliot Smith, Nick Drake rock..so in comparison Yeah Lee and Crystal and all the past performers suck...I am comparing them to somebody..not just drawing dumb ass avitars about people and saying they suck.  COMPARED TO WHO?  Lets see if you actually do have some musical taste so that we can see who you think is a great in the industry?
-Steve

you totally suck...losers!  get a life and quit trying to ruin it for everyone else.
-Alison

I love how VFTW claims a victory, yet they only supported Lee when it came down to the final two. Is anyone impressed by their claims? Don't get me wrong I think the concept is funny and I don't have an issue with influencing the vote for one person or another. I just think VFTW get a little big headed most of the time. When you get your 'first pick' of the season into the top 5 I will give you some props! Until then, you are just as wishy-washy as the general American public. What happens next year when Idol flops w/o Simon? Guess the VFTW crew is going to be looking for a new hook.
-VFTW is Overrates

people on this site are bunch of idiots! you picked lee who was one of the favorites from the beginning , you should have just shut down after tim urban left, whats even more funny about this stupid website is that you guys watch the show, therefore you help ratings.. if you really hated the show you wouldn't watch... bunch of retards...
-Mike

It was a joke that Lee won AMERICAN IDOL last night. It just proves that being the best is not always thwe winner. Crystal beat Lee on every song that she sang during the show. GO GIRL I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GRAET CAREER THAT YOU DESERVE BECAUSE YOUR THE REAL WINNER.
-George

VFTW cracks me up. These guys watch their picks get knocked off time after time and still claim victory when they pick the winner in the final two. Maybe if their pick for the worst out of the top 5 won the whole thing...that might be something, but not when they have to change their pick for the finale. Anyone who thinks that VFTW can influence the results when tens of millions of votes were cast in the finale is delusional.
-BigC

FOX and the producers of American Idol want to thank VFTW for their continued viewership of the show. Thanks to you, ratings are better than they otherwise would be.
-E. Jetson

I was ashamed to be an American last night. This show is supposed to be about musical talent not politics.

Lee has a nice voice when it's in tune but he lacks the presence, power, emotion, training and talent of Crystal. It's no wonder so many single mothers are destined to live their lives as waitress's.
-NotToneDeaf

You guys are delusional if you think you influenced the vote AT ALL. You could tell Lee was going to win just from the audience in the theater when they cheered for him after Crystal's lackluster applause. Stop patting yourselves on the back for something you had so little to do with. Now if Tim Urban had won - THEN I'd agree you influenced the voting. As it is you control about .01% of the vote.
-Tim

To celebrate my first year as a Worster, I would like to thank Dave and his minions for successfully sending Drupal to the other side, the mods, the admins, and my fellow brothers and sisters at VFTW for sharing amazing laughs not just about that trainwreck of a show called American Idol but about anything and everything, and especially the tards, the trolls and other delusional bird brains that made us grit our teeth and clench our fists in anger at their outrageous banter and most importantly, they reminded me that a.) my sanity is still intact after surviving two years in academic hell called a university and b.) that some people are still alive only for the reason that it is illegal to shoot them. Thanks everyone for this shit-infested year of Idol and see you next season! Wait.. There's a next season. :facepalm
-Zen D.

Well, I have to say that this is the first season that I actually read your site during the Idol. I was pleasantly surprised. You guys are really funny, and you made me laugh a lot. I also think that some of the stuff you said was a little mean, but still amusing. My standing is that even though you may not agree with something someone says, it doesn't mean you have to attack them (it seems to be that way with some of your readers). All in all, I know you guys mean well, so thank you for all the stuff you do. I think.
