At least he can laugh at himself. And at least he still has a soul. The same cannot be said for Seacrest and the producers of Idol. Maybe Brian can sell his soul to them for the millions he lost?


Brian Dunkleman Alleges that American Idol is Rigged, Fake

If an American Idol host was ever a Worster, it would be Brian Dunkleman, the man who hosted with Seacrest during season 1 before vanishing. In his recent radio interview with Adam Carolla, Dunkleman let out a few interesting tidbits. Who knows what he actually knows, but it would be interesting if what he says is true:

-Dunkleman says the show is fake, that there are re shoots for dramatic effect, with lots of fake tears.

-On his first show, one of AI's producers poked him in the chest and cussed him out because he was comforting to a contestant, and didn't torment them further.

-Dunkleman believes the show is rigged and to decide who's going home, the producers "write a name on a piece of paper and hand it to the host, and say read this."

-Clay Aiken received more votes than Ruben in season 2 but Ruben was given the title anyway.

-Seacrest was scheming to get Dunkelman off the show from the start, and sabotaged him by going off script, leaving Dunkelman with no set up for his punchlines.
