There's a lot of buzz going around that American Idol desperately wants a girl to win this season. And who could blame them after the tweentards and fat housewives have completely taken over this show, turning the past two seasons into a massive sausage fest. And if they truly do want a girl to win, they've cleared the path by casting the ugliest group of male contestants we've ever seen on this show, and that's saying a lot. Read on to meet this motley crew but be forewarned...you may not want to do this on a full stomach.

The top 24 in turmoil! Well, not really. But JoesPlace has also removed Ben Honeycutt from the top 24 list. Ben's entire inclusion on the list was a spoiler that Ben's wife leaked his inclusion. This seems rather unlikely because the contestants aren't supposed to blab (see: Michael Lynche, whether true or not). Also, his YouTube videos are still up. And third, Ben is like an uglier version of Kris Allen and the producers don't need another contestant just like their last winner. Then again, that would make him clear fodder to set up the inevitable win for a female. We're just glad we don't have to listen to his obnoxious goat vibrato anymore. Either way, Ben's off for now, so there's still an open spot. Any ideas?
