I think there is a degree of manipulation by the judges. Between their flirting and comments they may sway a few votes by the end of the night.

Adam has alot of confidence because he had experience coming into the competition (I thought) and he's hardly had a negative word said to or about him. I think Danny and Kris had to be in agreement on the duet if not they hid it well. As for Danny being a camera hog I would hope the contestants have no control of that. It's bad enough to think the judges might have anything to do with it. I think that should be left up to the people in the control room. However someone said Danny had most the singing in the duet, then I guess the camera would follow the singer so he also got more camera time.

The judges make me crazy sometimes, I almost would rather not have them. They are not always constructive or unbiased. I saw a magazine cover at the store saying Simon wanted out of AI. So if Paula goes, Kara doesn't stay (I hope she doesn't) and Simon leaves, Randy could be the only original judge left.
