Dial Idol predicted Carly Smithson or Syesha Mercado would be going home. TiVo (using their powers of fast-forward and rewind data collection) said it would be Mercado. But nobody was as stunned as Michael Johns when Ryan Seacrest informed the Aussie singer he had received the lowest number of votes after his “inspirational” performance of Aerosmith’s “Dream On” this week. While Johns’ family and friends gasped with dismay, Seacrest twisted the knife by reminding us that last year, nobody was eliminated Idol Gives Back week — then telling Johns he wasn’t so lucky (see clip, above). So what does this mean for Idol? More cries of conspiracy and fewer neckerchiefs.
