Ritchea's Out, Scarlett's In on Canadian Idol

Posted by thefunnystone on June 24th, 2007 at 5:41 PM

Ben Mulroney announced last week that someone in the top 22 had dropped out and that we'd find out who this week. Well, we found out. Ritchea Hodge dropped out for "personal reasons" (hopefully not the same ones as Mario Vazquez, who allegedly rubbed his junk on a Fremantle employee). Replacing her is not the girl with the barfing mom, it's Scarlett Burke. Who was she? She was the girl who had the Lance Bass lookalike creepily kissing her neck in the Toronto rounds. The only good thing about this announcement? Scarlett seems to be obvious cannon fodder that might help VFTW's precious Montana Martin Iles stick around a while longer.


Farley Flex Says "No Sanjayas"

In preparation for the premiere of Canadian Idol next week, VFTW caught this gem in the Edmonton Sun. CI judge Farley Flex smartly blames the judges for Sanjaya's presence in the top 24 to begin with (correct), but then says that Canadian Idol has too much integrity to put a Sanjaya through to their top 22. Farley, buddy, 75% of the singers who make the top 10 on Canadian Idol every year can't even sing half as well as Sanjaya. Remember Brandon Jones? Rex Goudie? Corpsey LeBland? Suzi Rawn? Nuff said. VFTW is fairly confident we'll easily be able to pick a Sanjaya out of the bunch within a few weeks.
