Idol Results/Wildcards

The results didn't surprise me at all I was pretty sure of who would make it. I was a little surprised by the wild card picks. I laugh because I read/listen to a lot of opinions about American Idol and I hear two sides- those who say the show is totally set up and that the producers only let certain people through based on marketability and then the other side that says they let people like Scott and Danny through because they have a story that brings ratings and then bring in a little drama like Tatiana also for ratings. I imagine it is a little of both. I like the show regardless. It gives me people to love and people to hate for many different reasons and it makes good TV. I think they also try and put through someone for everybody. But think about if they didn't do all these things for ratings they wouldn't sell ad space and then there would be no more American Idol. The only thing I would change about this season is the adding of a fourth judge. Kara gets on my very last nerve.
As far as the wild card picks I was not expecting them to pick Tatiana but I do think people will watch to see what she does and Vote for the Worst will have someone to love and promote. Personally I would have rather seen them choose Normund Gentle, he is far more entertaining, but that is just me. I knew they would choose Megan but thought they would bring Kendall back since there really isn't another country singer in the group. I am thrilled that Anoop, Matt and Ricky are back and hope they all make the top twelve. I don't know what they were thinking with Jasmine I honestly don't think she is ready but Jesse was a decent choice even though I would have rather seen Misha or Tayler. I can't wait for tonight's show and for the "real" season to begin.
