Ryan Seacrest living dangerously on American Idol
Talking about American Idol on his radio show this morning, Ryan revealed that he forgot to take the results card with him when he brought the bottom three out to the centre of stage yesterday. He had glanced at the card earlier to see which contestant would be in front of the judges, but hadn’t really memorised the whole thing.
With nobody to ask, Ryan had two choices: walk back to the podium and get the card or go for it and hope he was right. He decided to go for it and sent Anoop to safety, but for a second afterwards he was waiting for a producer to come out shouting that it wasn’t Anoop!
Nice save! I’ll be watching closely to see if there’s any sign of this inner dialogue in Ryan’s eyes when the results show goes out here tomorrow. Would the producers have let it go if Ryan had sent Lil to safety instead? I probably would in their place. So long as Ryan didn’t end up with the wrong person in front of the judges it wouldn’t have mattered too much.
