American Idle!

[Strangler Lewis]

If they want Sanjaya to go, they should stop being rude to him. I submit that Haley wouldn't have made the top 12 over Sabrina if Simon hadn't implied she was dressed like a whore, thus motivating votes from an army of defensive mothers-of-daughters-with-dreams all over America. Sanjaya definitely has a fan base apart from the people who've been trying to screw up the show. All these people have a limited attention span, however, and if Sanjaya is treated politely as someone who's just not good enough, he'll go.
