With many of the frauen already falling in love with douchebag Chris Medina or overpimped Lauren Alaina, American Idol Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe realized he should encourage people to keep watching and not form a favorite yet. In the process of doing so, Nigel threw out the names of 10 contestants coming up who all make the top 40. So in essence, he just confirmed them all being in the top 40. Thanks, Nigel!


We already have most of the top 40 thanks to JoesPlace. And our very own Fallen Angel Gabriel found the rest (nice work!) Here they are. If you have info on any of these contestants, email us at mail@votefortheworst.com or post in the linked message board threads.

The last 1 seems to be disqualified Joey Dwyer-Mount. It also turns out that Rachel Zevita, our very very favorite contestant, made it to the top 20 and then either quit or was disqualified. We can't wait to hear what happened there. Guess she was smart enough to read the contract and walk away!
