So the big question yesterday about American Idol was not who made it to Top 36, but the one person who did but was eliminated. Ryan Seacrest sort of explains to Fox News why Joanna Pacitti was eliminated.
“The producers do the background checks right around [the] Hollywood [round],” Seacrest said. “When they see something that stands out, they have to address it. And they saw something, and there was apparently some sort of a link that, somewhere along the line, could be construed as one that’s close to the competition, and they didn’t want to risk it.”
Seacrest, who was attending the opening of the new American Idol Experience themed section at Disneyworld, said it was a shame that Pacitti had to be disqualified after she had made the show’s first big cut.
“It’s a sad thing to have to tell a contestant they can’t compete,” he said. “But we have to play by our rules.â€Â
Sounds like Star magazine got it right and that her former-manager works for 19 Management. Do you think it was fair she was eliminated? I think so!
