Speculation and insane talk on message boards is heating up as the Australian Idol series comes ever closer to donning their choice. But unlike the forced patriotism in a KMart branded potato chip or odd tasting cola, the viewing — and more importantly voting mad — audience have spurred to bring forth a massive quiver of froth and sherbet flavoured cocaine for spoon feeding infants across the nation. The storm surrounds the supposed results of the phone/sms voting for tonight's show.
Down to the wire, Guy Sebastian, Shannon Noll and Cosima DeVito, and one must go. One monger claimed that they had a friend in the audience of the live show as the results were read and announced that Sebastian was the one eliminated. A claim posted a few hours before the supposed time slot for the live verdict show. Obviously unaware of the concept and construct of time and television cheese.
While every week seems to snare the subtitle of being "a very special verdict show," this one seems to have also spread its way on to the radio. Comments were thrown in the background of 2Day's drive time shift by background voices belonging to Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O that the votes indicated, yet again, Sebastian would be victim with his numbers polling unfavourably. Although they tried to quell the flames of such a throwaway comment, their radio show occupies a similar time frame as that of the Idol show so intent is nothing near clear.
First they wanted the man to win, now they want him to sink, crumbed chicken wings in both ears drill keys and the summation is that Guy Sebastian has already become the folly of the backlash that was certain to happen.
