On the issue of the Vote for the Worst idea, i am sceptical that this has any tangible impact on the outcome. There were something like 39 million votes cast. Really, how many Stern listeners are actually going to get involved in that and vote for the worst. Sanjaya was in the bottom two so there could not have been that many votes for him. It would be different lets say if he wasn't even in the bottom three.
Of course I would have had it reversed sending Sanjaya home instead of Brandon but each season has its little voting irregularities that leave people scratching their heads. My theory is that one of the things that may have hurt Brandon was that the Black vote is split up between so many people, in addition to him being not one of the better singers.
There will be more surprises in store for sure.
