I'm more convinced than ever that we were manipulated to vote. I'm pissed but won't be if it worked. Last Edited By: lei 05/21/08 10:31 AM. Edited 1 times.

And where can I see that map with all the states and who won which state?

I'm starting to get anxious about the big reveal. I guess it will be one of those afternoons at work where the clock barely moves!

I just don't see them going against the Zaba and DI results, especially DI since it shows Cookie with such a commanding lead.

I am trying not to get my hopes up at all! Here is a great article from EW. This person is obviously a huge Cook fan...but the last few paragraphs were perfection... http://tvfan.ew.com/shows/American+Idol/recap/639 "So, let's recap. I will download DC's first and third performances and play them a million times (and maybe even the second one to be played on mute). I will not download any of the Fetus' performances. The judges have spent all season praising originality and bravery, and when presented with it in the finale they chose to ignore it in favor of the safe and predictable. The sites have all sorts of theories, including that Simon was trying to motivate DC's complacent fan base to vote. This sounds kind of far-fetched...but ya know, it may have actually worked out that way. I literally voted for 4 hours and I was not alone. If there was a knockout tonight, it was the culmination of David Cook's season long dominance of the competition. He put his heart and soul into every performance and I can't thank him enough for the hours of enjoyment and excitement he's given me. There's only one thing I could do for him to show my appreciation, so that's why for the first time in my life I spent hours voting for a friggin reality show. I'm sure right now David Cook thinks he lost American Idol. I hope tomorrow night he learns that his fans have come through for him and that being the nicest and most sincere contestant, as well as the most talented, brave and original, actually means something. In many ways, that would be a more fitting ending to this saga than if he had been the clear winner tonight. Best of luck, David Cook. You're quite a man, and I for one thank you for everything. Oh yeah...and you're really hot :)"

I agree too that with such a commanding lead on DI, how could he lose? Seriously???? I know we aren't supposed to rely on DI but that is quite a huge blowout! If he does lose, I call foul!

I just don't see them going against the Zaba and DI results, especially DI since it shows Cookie with such a commanding lead. While I love this argument, Archtards have a similar argument. How can the voting be so Cook-sided when he was clearly shoved under the bus last night? It almost begs the question of whether the show is actually rigged. While I do think the judges try to manipulate viewers with their comments (I would have excepted Paula for this but she obviously wanted Syesha out), I'm not sure there's a big conspiracy. They might have a TCO from day one, but Simon at least seems open to the possibility of a true dark horse. And I do think he judges performances as he sees them, regardless of who he likes better. It's clear he likes Cook better, but didn't think his performances were as good as Archie's last night (and knowing Simon's personal taste as we do, I'm not surprised by this). I still don't get why there was no, "This is going to be really, really close. The closest vote ever, I think." Someone posted somewhere that this would have set the suspense better and I agree. Also might've eliminated some (perhaps I'm delusional) of the conspiracy paranoia.

Why make it not even worth our while to watch tonight if Archie is going to be crowned?
