Mmm, Wanktastic Idol.
Extremely minor spoilers ahoy!

Tonight was the top seven results night on American Idol. The producers divided up six of the contestants into groups of three and told gray-haired spazoid Taylor Hicks that he had to join whichever group he thought was not the bottom three. According to people who were there, during a commercial break Hicks was placed in the middle of the groups and told that he couldn't pull a Bo Bice and not take sides, so he shook hands with one of the contestants in the group he didn't choose, and then went to stand at the other side of the stage, all the while looking quite irate with the powers that be and really rather embarrassed all around.

Most fans think that Taylor handled himself with aplomb in an extremely stressful situation, and that the producers' motives run the gamut from intentionally trying to stir up drama to deliberately attempting to curtail Taylor's unexpected wild popularity to hoping to shift some votes to the highly marketable but functionally retarded Kellie Pickler.

Not clvgal, however. She thinks that over the past couple of months, Taylor has gone from a sweet, offbeat Southern boy to a cruel, spiteful son of a bitch who deliberately insults people by shaking their hands. I think the real question here is whether or not the producers of American Idol forced everyone in this thread to spell despicable wrong.

ETA: The wanky thread seems to be gone, but I can't for the life of me figure out why because wank is ALL OVER THE BOARDS. I'm just going to leave the link like it is, leading to the main boards page, because there is spooge coating the Season Five Contestants board as well as, in particular, the Chris Daughtry and Taylor Hicks ones. There's some choice shit being thrown around by Chris's fangirls. It's like fish in a barrel over there.
