Everyone knows David Archuleta won Star Search when he was 12. But did you know that he competed against Alexandrea Lushington (yep, the same girl from this year's top 24) on the show and beat her? She was much better than him, but he had been pimped so much by the judges, they let him win. It looks like exactly what's going to happen this year! Not only that, American Idol has always been recycling Star Search contestants for their show. Among the reused contestants from the past are Lisa Tucker from season 5, hot mess Jessica Sierra and fro queen Nadia Turner from season 4's top 12, Joe Murena and Amanda Avila from season 4's top 24, and Tatiana McConnico who had her audition shown from season 6. With all of this lame recycling going on, American Idol should open a plant!

American Idol 7's Hollywood round hasn't even started yet, but rumors are running around the internet about who the unlucky contestants are. Leading the pack in internet exposure is Ricco Barrino (Mantasia's brother, pictured left with scary creature). Other standouts include Chase Foster (an American Jaydee Bixby clone), Antoria Gillon (the woman who gave birth to her baby after her Idol audition), and previous auditioners Brian Miller and Matt Sato (when will they ever learn?). Though we are also happy to announce that the Brittenum Twins are back. It's like a VFTW wet dream!
