Had to laugh at your "subject" line. I knew EXACTLY what you were going to say. I watched tonight and totally agree - not sure what we'll do if she wins.

She can sing and she brings the crazy which brings viewers. She could be around for a while.

I knew they would bring her back. I wonder if she was the one they "pondered" over and changed their minds.

I missed the show tonight thanks for the heads-up

I haven't been watching since auditions. But willing to bet she's the one who auditioned in the bathing suit.

breenthumb, she's not the one that auditioned in the bathing suit. That girl didnt make it past Hollywood week.

They need her like they needed Sanjaya....controversy and people wanting her gone.

I'm not into Idol as much as I used to be....I'm thinking there's a lot of "fix" in it....sorry to say.

She makes me crazy...I have to mute her when she gets nuts like that. She can sing...but I wish she'd do it somewhere else!!

Thought you were talking about a cat. And I wish you were talking about a cat. Still won't watch if she's on.

They're keeping her around intentionally. For what reason, I don't have a clue.

She is an annoyance factor and when we talk about it and the show it brings people to watch it and is advertisement for the show.

Thank you Heather. Somehow it had the opposite effect on me.

Says a lot about the way the contest is judged, even though her voice isn't all that bad. There were others equally as talented who were passed by.

I hope she's booted off - it would be horrible if she won! Personally, I'm cheering for Danny...

While I don't care for her--it was a forgone conclusion that they'd invite her back for the wild card. And I'll go one further--I imagine she'll be one of the 2 girls the judges will pick to go into the top 12 (they almost have to pick 2 girls, finals are too heavily weighted with guys this year. and it's a girl's year to win.)

Without Tatiana in the finals, it looks like the only controvsy the show would have would be Paula drooling over Jorge. They NEED someone like Tatiana to insure the kind of notice and publicity the show is known for. It is Fox, after all. And unfortunately, the girl can sing, even if she is a nutcase.

As to voting fixing? Absolutely--I bring this up every year, but Season 2, the show did something to the phones the last week, where if you got through for Clay, you couldn't break the connection for about a minute--which meant he missed out on dozens of votes for every one he got. I tried calling Ruben's number and that wasn't the case, but it happend about 20 times, when I was able to get through on Clay's #. That was the last year I voted, because I realized they were restricting the numbers electronically, so the show could control the outcome.

Even so, I still enjoy watching. Haven't decided who my top fav is this year. So far, I actually like all the finalists they've chosen and think it will be fun competition (even if T. is included)
