Fantasia did experience being in the bottom three... Do you remember Elton John blasting America for being racist because of it? Actually I believe the other two black girls in the competition was a part of the bottom three which caused Elton John's controversial statement. Anyway, do you remember that Fantasia laughed and clapped when she was called out as a bottom three? When asked at a later interview why she laughed and clapped, she stated something to the affect that she wasn't any better than anyone else. At least I think that's what she said. If anyone else remembers what she said verbatim please correct me.

Yeah, I remember the whole Jennifer Hudson, Latoya and Fantasia bottom three. I was stunned because Jon Peter and John Stevens were STILL in the damn competition. I think teenage girls flood the phone lines, I do. I mean in the first season, all five girls lasted through the majority of the season, and guys were first out. I'm surprised we've had so many female winners. Anyway...

MSNBC poll results, based on the question: "Who Should Win"

1. Chris Daughtry - 32%

2. Elliot Yamin - 20%

3. Taylor Hicks - 14%

4. Katharine McPhee - 13%

5. Mandisa - 11%

6. Kellie Pickler - 5%

7. Paris Bennett - 3%

8. Ace Young - 2%

9. Bucky Covington - 1%

Now if only these pollers actually reflected what could happen I would love this.. I do think a guy is gonna win. Katharine or Mandisa could pull of an "upset" though. Although for that poll, Lisa was still an option, but not that it matters, she too had 1%.

AOL poll results:

1. Kellie Pickler (you gotta be fuckin kidding me)

2. Katharine McPhee

3. Chris Daughtry

4. Taylor Hicks

5. Mandisa

6. Elliot Yamin

7. Paris Bennett

8. Ace Young

9. Bucky Covington

Now, these AOL poll results some somewhat of the same thing as MSNBC, except for the top vote getters, which is nearly the same just a little different. I just don't get the AOL poll results, LOL. I cant freaking believe Kellie continues to take #1. But actually, AOL does reveal some totals. Earlier this week, Katharine had 32% of the votes. Lisa and Bucky had like 1% and 2% so...

I totally agree. Simon was actually normal in the first season. Randy wasn't all "yo dawg! we got a HOT ONE!!" and Paula was also normal. Simon definitely puts on his [!@#$%^&*] act.

And you know, go listen or watch Season 1 again if you can. Kelly singing "Natural Woman" is fantastic. Justin singing "For Once in My Life" and "Let's Stay Together" rock and Christina Christian totally nailed "Ain't No Sunshine" and Tamyra nailed "A House is not a Home". Granted, they had bad nights too, but to me, they are loads better than this batch. We have some good talent but they are great. And I still am left scratching my head how Nikki lasted so damn long. She was the worst of the bunch. Likeable but compared to the others her singing sucked.

Lisa is gone bye bye, eh? I think she was pretty good...but guess she didnt really connect with alot of people. I actually preferred her over Paris. Katherine being in the bottom 3 was a shocker!! :o Ace should have been sent home too. I dont think he will last too long either. Next 3 to go in any order are Bucky, Ace, and Kellie.

I hated Lisa after I got used to her. She did those old old songs every week and was so young. That was never, ever going to work. She needed to accept her pop roots and act her age.

It was really sad to see Katherine in the bottom three, Ace too! These two are my favorties, but I know neither will win. I think I just like these two because I think they're hot. But they have good voices as well. I would buy their cds and a swimsuit calender.

I don't like Paris or Elliot and I do really like Bucky, but he won't win either. Don't like Kellie, don't like the bald guy, OH YES and I LOVE the gray haired guy. He's cute, but I've forgotten his name. I'd like to see him win, but again I doubt it.

Here's an article on Mandisa, see if I vote for her again!

Taylor Hicks is his name!! I hope he will be in the final 3 at least!!

That's my ideal top 4. Kellie needs to be out pronto.

I think Katherine is great but I don't want her to win. Firstly, the show needs a male winner and they have one now that is actually worthy of the title. Secondly, she's been in the bottom! I know Carrie was never in the bottom... ever. I don't think Fantasia was either, but I could be wrong about that.

Just get Kellie OUT!! I wish the show would promote Elliott too, they don't promote him and he is much better than Ace, Bucky and KELLIE!

    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
