Bristol Palin lost Dancing With the Stars after the judges piled on points and points for ringer Jennifer Grey to make sure the outcome was inevitable. Oh well, it was a fun ride and it was great riling up people by helping Bristol make it to the top 3! Though one question remains... why did Interscope send out a tweet halfway through the finale congratulating Jennifer on winning the show? Seems a bit fishy. They then quickly deleted the tweet and replaced it with one asking if Jennifer would win. Nice save there... Here's the tweet screencap:

America's Got Talent, another crapfest produced by the same company that makes American Idol (Fremantle), was exposed tonight in a major way. VFTW reader Steve tells us:

"One of the acts in the semi-finals is Arcadian Broad, a dancer around 12 years old I believe.  His act tonight was a dance act based around High School Musical, he was dressed in a Wildcat's Jersey dancing around.  Piers Morgan said he wasn't good enough to get into the finals.  Arcadian responded saying "I didn't want to do a High School Musical scene, the producers gave me this hand and..." and he was promptly cut off by Piers.  When Nick Cannon came back out to give his numbers, he went off saying "Well, of course the acts get the decision of the acts they preform..." Seems like we got a situation on our hands here!"

Just more proof that any show Fremantle produces isn't on the up and up. It's not a talent competition, it's reality TV, folks.

Edited To Add: Rickey.org has the video.

Edited to Add More: Arcadian's claim was edited out of the replay of the show last night. Looks like the producers aren't too happy. Because they're idiots.

In damage control mode today, Paula Abdul tells Entertainment Tonight that she was actually commenting on David Cook's song when she mentioned Jason's "second song" during her infamous flub on the show last night. It's not believable, she should've just gone with the "I'm drunk" excuse. Her critique on "Jason's second song" was that he wasn't trying hard enough to get into the top 4 and that it wasn't good. Her critique of David after catching herself was that he was good. This should be proof enough that Idol isn't even good enough at lying to fix simple problems that expose how fixed the show is. If it truly was a misunderstanding, it would be easy to explain. But since Paula is lying about it, something is up. Also, EW's Popwatch blog talks about how Nigel Lythgoe was FREAKING OUT when Paula messed up with quotes like, "Nigel was frantically gesturing a single finger to anyone who could see him: ONE SONG! THEY'VE ONLY SUNG ONE SONG!" The fact that Nigel was freaking out is a sure sign that this was definitely something big. (If you missed Paula's flub, you can check it out here.)

Watch Paula read the lines she was fed by producers to say to Jason after his second performance. She says these after his first performance. The audience laughs at her since she's commenting on a performance that hasn't happened yet, and Simon and Randy look mortified that she messed up so bad. VFTW Victory! Even her "save" was pathetic. She then said the comment was meant for David Cook. Except the comment was "you're not fighting hard enough" and her comment for Cook was "fantastic." You go, Paula. Mess up more and expose the show!
