I learned a couple of things last season which made me decide to not waste time voting anymore.

1st...AI is not listed as a 'game' show, which is VERY strict about making sure the game isn't rigged in any way. AI is listed as 'Entertainment', game rules don't apply. Survivor is a 'Game', as is 'Big Brother'. Both of those shows have the competitions, awards, rules, etc...planned out well before the 'Game' begins. IMO, if AI voting was completely on the up & up, they would tell the contestants numbers every week & also tell what votes they disallowed. At the end of the show, AI has a disclaimer that they can disallow certain votes. By being listed as 'entertainment', they don't have to show anyone the numbers or Prove that they are correct.

2nd thing....last year, One week before the finale show, in a British paper there was a little something about one of the producers...it said something to the effect of...'Simon ????(can't remember which Producer), & this years Idol WINNER, Carrie Underwood.......' Hmmmmmmm....Now how did they know she would win a WEEK before they had the final 2 show-down between her & Bo????

So anyways....thats just how I feel about it & won't vote. I figure there's plenty of others that are so my votes wont matter anyway. lol.
