Final shows like tonight's are way too boring to blog about as all that remains are just boring generic contestants who've gotten this far because of tards and fraus so instead let's take a look back at the most VFTW moments on this season's show. When we first heard X Factor was coming to America we were very hopeful as The UK version of the show is so VFTW-friendly but things got off to a horrible start due to a repulsive amount of over-hype that turned off a lot of people before the show even got started. And things didn't get much better from there as this show had little of the VFTW magic the UK version does and we landed up with basically the exact same final we'd see on American Idol. But in all this dullness there were a few brave souls who let their Worster Flags fly by having meltdowns in front of the entire nation, going on mad rants about Jesus and refusing to sing so let's look back at the most VFTW moments of the past season...

Asstro Accuses Simon Cowell Of Outright Cheating

Posted by smarterthanpickler on Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:41 PM EST

VFTW Pick Asstro has been making all sorts of inferences that something fishy was up last week when he was in the Bottom 2 but hasn't accused Simon Cowell of outright cheating. Until now...

 

“Not to sound cocky, but I don’t see how you can have the most followers on Twitter of all the contestants, most views on YouTube of all the contestants, and be voted in the bottom two. So, I knew something was fishy… That’s why I spazzed out.”

“It was kind of aggravating on my part, because basically something that happened behind the scenes,” he says. “I felt like I was being treated unfairly, basically that was X Factor’s way of punishing me. I don’t care to talk about what happened, but I doubt I was in the bottom two.”

 

Well, there it is; our pick is done mincing words! The behind the scenes stuff Asstro is alluding to is probably an incident over a set of Dr. Dre headphones he wore during his performance when he was told not to, exposing X Factor to a massive fine. The headphones had to be blurred out of his youtube videos.

If putting Asstro in the Bottom 2 was his punishment for wearing a stupid pair of headphones, I can't wait to see what his punishment will be for accusing Simon Cowell of fixing his own TV Show! We won't have to wait long to find out as the performance show is on Tuesday this week. Come back here for Asstro's voting info immediately after his performance.

An Open Letter to Simon Cowell and the US X-Factor

Posted by thefunnystone on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 at 9:25 PM EDT

Dear Simon Cowell and everyone else involved with the US X Factor,

Every 2 seconds it seems there's a news story out about some stupid made-up behind the scenes event that's happening on the US X Factor. Whether it's the judges fighting, hosts fighting, judges getting fired, or whatever, it seems like the "leaks" from the set are frequent. Way too frequent. Here's our advice. Knock it the fuck off. This stupid shit where you try to keep yourselves in the news every day so people talk about you may work in England, but it sure doesn't work here. We know, we know, you're just used to doing it all the time. Get over that. All these stupid rumors are doing is making everyone less interested in the show. Your show hasn't even begun yet and it's already the most tedious and obnoxious thing ever. Nicole Scherzinger took a shit today? Not interested. So if you want people to actually watch and care about your show, stop leaking fake rumors every day. Even if the news is real, it's far too often and it's ending up like the "boy who cried wolf." We've started to ignore all X-Factor news stories because so many have been uninteresting and obnoxious. You're a bunch of British morons who are running your show into the ground before it starts. Keep it up and see if you last a full season.

Trust us, we know what we're talking about.

Love, VFTW

In a Rolling Stone article that takes bits out of her new book, Kara DioGuardi admits that the producers of American Idol are the ones who send the contestants packing during the Hollywood rounds, not the judges. 

During the season 9 Hollywood week one contestant was eliminated in what seemed like an oversight by the producers. "I saw her walking out of the auditorium crying," DioGurardi writes. "She was still on the judges' list. So Randy, Ellen, Simon, and I tried to fight for her, but we weren't permitted to change the decision. There was one other contestant some of us wanted as well, but there seemed to be an air of suspicion that Simon might be trying to sabotage the contestant pool in the wake of his leaving. I don't know about that, but from my perspective he was definitely trying to help the show. I felt awful for these contestants...By the end of the week I didn't have a good feeling about the mix of talent we'd ended up with, and I was right."

So basically, the producers do whatever they want and the judges are there to look like they make decisions? That's what we thought. It's also interesting to see that the producers felt that Simon Cowell was trying to sabotage the show in his last season - he clearly succeeded since we ended up with Lee DeWyze as the winner.
