Survey Says: Fox Slipped Up — Or Did They?

American Idol

Here’s what this post used to say:

Well, it’s 9:10 PM on the East Coast which means this post has relevancy for, I don’t know, the next fifteen minutes.

Earlier today, Fox accidentally posted a poll on its website asking viewers how they felt about a certain person being voted off of American Idol. The only problem: the results haven’t aired yet. Silly Fox.

For anyone wanting to get the scoop fifteen minutes before the rest of America, click on the link below. And needless to say, SPOILER ALERT!!!

But alas! It seems that we were fooled, FOOLED I tell you! The person in this link was not voted off! So now, we implore you to check out this photo only to see the sneaky misdirection Fox pulled on us. And yes, it’s still sort of spoilerish, so be warned.

Click here to see Fox’s crafty fake-out.

Oh, and people looking to avoid spoilers still might want to steer clear of the comments section until the results have aired on both coasts…

B-Side, thanks for the spoiler. I live in Cali and I’ve become addicted to finding out results before the show airs here. My wish has come true, Shelton is outta here. I’m off to celebrate.

Justice has finaly been served. Thank you America! Go Bo!

No surprise here…his Backstreet Boys number grossed me out… I didn’t know I could hate that song more than I already did before Anthony sang it. It was between him and Fatty McButter Pants…what a cocky bastard that guy is. Next week he goes. I just feel bad for butt neck because today was his birthday…that’ll be a fun one to talk about in a few years. Yeah remember my 20th birthday when America hated me? Good times, good times

Jranger1 – ROFLMAO!! “Fatty McButter Pants”? “Yeah remember my 20th birthday when America hated me? Good times, good times” Oh god, I’ll be laughing at both of those for the rest of the night. Thank you.

I’m watching it right now and thanks to the spoiler I can watch with a evil glee.

Scott was voted out.
On a side note, Anthony is only 1 month older than me.

He brought it on his fat self. All that arrogance – who knew he could be anymore unattractive.

Jranger1, Scott was voted out, not Anthony. So it’s Anthony who should go next week.

Hi,
Yeah, I was happy to finally see one of them gone. Scott or Anthony, I just seen Scott’s mug shot on the smoking gun too. I figured he was a true punk!!!!

My husband’s birthday was yesterday and to find out he shared it with Anthony completely ruined our evening.
