sanjaya malakarBlogging Molly, Carol Mangis, and I are huge American Idol fans. In fact, we even have our own little pool going on each week, voting for who we think will be in the Bottom 3 and who's going home. Once we hear Daughtry's "Home" in the background of the results show, we're either disappointed that one of our faves is leaving, or questioning why the heck Sanjaya Malakar is still in the competition.

Let's face it: we all know that Sanjaya can't keep up with the other hopefuls. Of course, I'd rather listen to him than William Hung any day, but this is a singing competition, and many bogus fans are making a mockery of Idol. Why? Because they hate the show and want to see the worst person win. According to research firm Nielsen BuzzMetrics, talk of Sanjaya on various blogs has increased 338 percent from February 18 to April 8. Fox News reports that "Reality TV Magazine is the top blog in Sanjaya traffic, with 40 other blogs linking to its posts on the subject from January 1-April 8." So I guess this means that Gearlog can be added to that report!

And then there's that ridiculous Web site VoteForTheWorst.com. Seriously people, if you don't like the show, don't participate in voting. It only makes the true fans, like us, pissed! Go vote off a Survivor or dancing star, but leave our Idol alone!
