My Mom found this on the AOL forums and posted it on the American Idol message boards. All the Chrisaders are digging up Info on Mr McPhee (The BTK Killer :angry:) and if this is 100% authentic then this means she will be disqualified and Chris and Elliott will have to be brought back.
Keith Olbermann from MSNBC just cut a story on it I'm waiting on the repeat



This from MSNBC: Katherine McPhee's father is a TV producer (bad enough right there, but it gets worse as you can see from the title of my post) who has not only worked with FOX before (see...worse) but has worked DIRECTLY with host/and SHOW PRODUCER RYAN SEACREST (New Years Rockin' Eve to be precise). This should have automatically eliminated Katherine from the running...period. I am absolutely, positively DISGUSTED!!!

wow, what can be done?

This hasn't been proven and I suspect it's just a rumor.

I'm not happy that Kat is in the finals (given her several poor performances), but let's not turn into that kind of fanbase, huh?

WOW. Can they prove all that? Doesn't Idol screen the contestants for stuff like that? I hope it's true and the send her packin'
me :poke: KAT

(Sorry that was mean...lol)

I assume that if Keith Olbermann a MAJOR possibly the most Major reporter on MSNBC cuts a report on this then It is not just a Rumor. No Journalist is that stupid.

Allena, I didn't see the msnbc clip.

Did he say for certain that this was the case?

Interesting stuff.

I tried to see if there was any evidence that McDad worked for Fox...I couldn't find anything.

I just can't see FOX being that stupid to try to get away with that.

What about Dan Rather?

Rofl

The AOL boards don't always have accurate information. Remember yesterday afternoon, when we got so excited about the "spoiler" that was posted there?

Even though Fox does background checks on contestants, that doesn't necessarily include the immediate families.

Keith Olbermann is trying to get an investigation Going because yes it's been proven, Mr. BTK Killer McPhee worked with Ryan Seacrest prior to American Idol.

This was on MSNBC Not just an AOL poster

We may have to do nothing except keep this in the limelight by writing to CNN, MSNBC, and FOX for that matter. It will create enough controversy all
by itself and we won't look like we're whining. E looked 10 times happier & relieved tonight & we only want to make E (and Ace :grinningangel: ) happy.

Look on the bright side, if she wins over Taylor you can bet the SP will take care of everything little Mcdetail.

I saw this on the AI boards too yesterday. Hoping this was true so she would get the boot. She could do fine without the help of AI!

This is TRUE! The SP will not rest until the whole story comes out! :protest:

Did anyone happen to see my thread inside that same AOL message board? On the AOL voting poll page ( the one where we could never get E to budge out of 4th place), directly underneath the poll was a recap headline with E's pic in it. When you scrolled your mouse around just underneath his picture, the words "Eliminated contestant Elliott Yamin " appeared. This was hours and hours before the results show was even on. People who replied to my thread could not believe it when they tried it. I even took a pic of it on my cell phone.

I really hope she gets disqualified. E probably wouldn't want to come back but maybe Chris Daughtry would. Did you hear the dissappointment in that guy's voice? But I don't think AI is going to do anything about it at this point though.

:protest:

Are you friggin' serious? WTF?

If she got disqualified :execute: , I think the right thing to do would be to crown all three guys equally............... Wouldn't that be bitter sweet?

yea, i think its too late. i heard about this from the taylor boards and it was actually posted by my friend's mom. who really reasearched this quite a bit. he is apparently on the "inactive" list and is not actually producing at this moment, but he has in FACT produced for fox. really makes you think.

OMG this makes me sicker. And Sicker... I am under the firm belief that this whole thing is rigged or because of something higher... I believe this totally, Kat is an ignorant snob probably working for her parents or something, I don't know.. I just swear I am never watching AI ever again, thanks to Kat.

It's definately one of those things that make you go HHHMMM?

haha
I wanted to use that emoticon
how about this one

:violent:

Well, I'll keep an open mind and will be curious to hear what the reporter comes up with...but I tend to think this is much ado about nothing.

This is definitely interesting.. worth checking out. We should follow this through (at least keep ourselves updated), for Chris', Tay's, and most importantly, E's sakes.

I do agree with the post i'm quoting. E-Train is ALL CLASS :afro:

yes I remember your post yesterday, and I couldn't believe it either.
That was around, what, about 2 or 3 in the afternoon. When I scrolled over the picture it said "Elliot Yamin eliminated contestant." Unbelievable...
That was about the same time the spoiler thread about the guy who said kat was leaving for sure because his friend worked at the studio and they put her going home footage together, appreared.
So I didn't really know what to think...

And still don't know

Its a mad world :protest:

I KID YOU NOT. I just went back hundreds and hundreds of pages in that forum and Not only is my thread GONE, but when you scroll over the same pic now , it doesn't HAVE the word "Eliminated" in it.. I have no idea how to work this stuff on my cell, but I would be happy to try to send it to someone as a picture who knows how to get it on line or upload it somewhere. The pic is tiny though and it was hard to focus on the words but believe me it WAS THERE. Anyone who wants to PM me with their cell number (if you really know how to upload it here) I'll send it. Can't send it to everyone out of curiousity due to financial constraints (sorry)..

I agree. Even if the Mcgirl does gets Mcchopped I don't think Elliott should return to the show, it would be like he only got there by default.

This is interesting though, but I'm surprised that all these connections didn't warn AI having McKat in the first place.

Is there ANYWAY you can send this to me? I can probably get it on MSNBC by tomorrow. We have 4 days to do this. Even if Elliott doesn't want to come back we can do it for Chris. We can do it and get RID of the Reason that E and Chris have been jipped, ALL 3 of those cheaters.

My Email is Allenavotesyamin@aol.com if you could email it to me :) thanks and god bless you guys :help:

Wouldn't it just be more sweeter that she get beat by Taylor and THEN have all this (if there is indeed a scandal) come to the forefront and everyone blackball her for being a cheater?

Allena - The picture is on my cell phone and I don't have the capability to send it to an e-mail address without changing my plan (not really my phone, so I'm kind of stuck). I am willing to send it to anyone else's cell phone if they can get it to you via e-mail...

tufntender - what time zone are you in? When you say 2 or 3 o'clock was that EST? I'm thinking I didn't post till 5 or 6 EST and that would be 2 or 3 West coast time.

Edited: I just looked again and did find someone else's post mentioning the "eliminated" word. Their post was at 1:30 EST, message #1555030. One of the replies in that thread said the words appeared because Elliott had been the one to be most likely voted off in the AOL poll from the previous week (the week Chris left). Kind of makes sense I guess. But, STILL, no one else's picture that I can find, has those words.

Like I said, it was around the same time that spoiler thread was going around on AOL, in the afternoon. I am central time.
It is such an injustice.
And I don't think it makes sense at all, that it should be because in the poll he would be most likely to be voted off. I am telling you, something is not right.
If it was because of the poll from a week or 2 ago it would have said something in the lines of, Elliott Yamin, voted most likely to be eliminated,

Not" eliminated contestant Elliott Yamin". It was stated as a fact.
I am not saying that beause I want anyone back in finals, just to find out what in the world is going on. Let mcpee make a fool out of herself, in a final shat she doesn't belong.
least deserving finalist ever IMO
