We received a pretty fun tip yesterday and we wanted to share it today before the Salt Lake City auditions. Some fun info for you:
- David Osmond actually wasn't a plant. He went to try out on his own, but clearly he was an idiot if he thought he wouldn't be recognized with that last name. His wife Valerie wasn't so lucky- she was cut immediately.
- Another "plant" tried out but had no luck either. Natalia Wolfgramm, a younger sister of one of the members of the 80's group The Jets, didn't make it past the first round either. Plant Taylor Vaifanua (who we outed as a contestant) is friends with Natalia's family.
- David Osmond is probably going to go on tour with David Archuleta soon. Gaspy has auditions for his band this past week and we hear that apparently Jeff Archuleta only wanted Mormon band members because he feels that the others are a "bad influence" on David. Jeff also wants to fill the band with Mormons because they apparently ask for less money. Sam Schultz, the guy who started Taylor Vaifanua's last music group, is the new PR guy for Gaspy.
Looks like everyone knows everyone in Utah, huh? So even though David Osmond is cut in Hollywood, Taylor Vaifanua still makes it to at least the top 50. She's interweaved into a few webs there, so she's pretty planty. Guess we'll see what happens as the episode airs tonight.
