As if Vote for the Worst isn't cool enough already, we've partnered with AskMeNow! to bring you VFTW updates on your cell phone. All you need to do is text 'VFTW' to 27563 to sign up. You'll receive Sanjaya's phone number as a text message on Tuesday nights in case you won't be around to watch the show, and you'll also receive results on Wednesday nights! We're working on adding extra content for subscribers, and best of all, it's completely free (but standard text messaging rates apply... if Cingular charges you 15 cents for a text, they'll still charge you for these). So make sure to sign up today, that way you'll have Sanjaya's number handy even if you can't (or don't want to) watch the show!

Fitting, since VFTW is having its biggest week, our humble site was mentioned on Best Week Ever yesterday. Thanks for the support VH1 and talking head comedians, we love you guys too! Vote for the Worst *thumbs up*

In an amazing shocker of a night, Sanjaya was declared safe, while Stephanie Edwards and Chris Richardson made up the bottom two. Stephanie went home (most people said, "Who's Stephanie?") and Sanjaya made it to next week. This is a huge victory because we got him on the tour. So now everyone who wants to see their favorite Idols will also be seeing VFTW darling Sanjaya this summer too. And he gets to work with Gwen Stefani next week (let's hope he has the option of singing Hollaback Girl.)

This may be one of VFTW's greatest accomplishments ever, so thanks to everyone who voted, especially all of the new Howard Stern listeners who joined us this week! Every vote counted, and just make sure to vote just as hard next week. Sanjaya will need the help again because people are really going to be mad that he's there. But after his performance of You Really Got Me, there's no doubt in our mind... Sanjaya loves us and we love him.

Also, check back Monday for the brand new, redesigned VFTW t-shirts!

Sanjaya's number tonight is 1-866-IDOLS-08 (1-866-436-5708). Dial it as much as you can between 10 PM and midnight (9 PM and 11 PM central), or if you have Cingular Wireless, you can also text the word "VOTE" to 5708. If you get busy signals, keep dialing. Vote for the full 2 hours for the highest impact. Sanjaya NEEDS our help and this is the big week so vote as much as you can. So, welcome to all of the new people voting for the worst this week, welcome all Howard Stern listeners, and welcome to everyone else too! Let's do this thing and try to get Sanjaya on the tour because THAT WAS THE BEST DAMN VFTW PERFORMANCE IN THE HISTORY OF THE SHOW. We can't stop laughing. AND Chris Sligh just gave Dave a shoutout. Chris, we love you too! This is the best episode of Idol EVER.
