Jesus! Never have we had this many responses in such a short time. Oh, and about the newspaper? I gotta tell you, it’s not hard to say to the CBS Public Relations person while on set at CBS, "Hey, go get that newspaper thing with Phil’s interview in it." Obviously the band had seen it and when it came time for Phil’s good-bye, they wanted to send a message to the rest of the singers. Trust me, he was going anyway. I love how people are looking for scandal and all, but the fact remains… Phil said what was in the paper. If anyone is looking for a job, a sure fire way to not get it is to talk shit in a newspaper about your potential employer or partners before your placement is secure. Bottom line!
When the band deliberates, the break can be anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. I recall the last deliberation to be about 30 minutes. AFTER the band made their decision, we grabbed the story so I could prompt a response from Phil.
OK On to other allegations! The blogs over at MSN. I don’t read them and I don’t know what they ever said or what they say now. That one I really don’t have anything to do with. You can be assured that THIS blog is mine and the few times that it has been edited, it has been by my own hand and for my own reasons.
As for the old "producers" pulling the strings of the show, or the "it’s rigged" thing, that is just stupid. If you think that for one minute that anyone could get Jason, Tommy and Gilby to do something they didn’t want to do, then you obviously haven’t been in the meetings. (Of course I know you haven’t… But I have.) HAHAHA. Those guys are hard asses and I have never seen any one of them back down for anything. As for the editing of the show, we have been over this before. We have an hour to fit in so many performances and comments, which when you add commercials comes to about 48 minutes. There simply isn’t enough time for everything. At the end of the day, there is no rigging, all votes are as they come in, Supernova alone makes their decision, I sit there and drink coffee and that is that. It is really straight forward. Feel free to create myth and mystery and conspiracy, as it is so much fun to read.
