Coaster- AI takes roughly 70,000 people who think they can sing, and wittle it down to 5 groups of 12 people. Each of the first 4 groups gets wittled down to 2 more people, based on call-in votes done by the viewers. The 5th group is call backs. They are people who didn't make the cut, but that the judges feel have excellent voices. They gow through the same process again, except votes only pick 1 person, then each of the 3 judges pick someone, and that gives us the final 12.
Each week, they sing 1 song, and again, people call in votes. The next day, they hold another show where they eliminate someone, based on votes. The person who goes is the person with the least amount of votes.
Right now, we just got whittled to the top 3- Diana DeGarmo, Jasmine Trias, and Fantasia Barrino. La Toya London was cut last night, and Fantasia was just barely above her in votes.
What's rather upsetting right now, is that Jasmine bombed her songs on Tuesday, and still managed to not get cut. She garnered a lot of pity votes, I think. That, and I'm willing to bet that most the voters felt that both Fantasia and La Toya had plenty of votes to keep them in. They were the two who were being hailed as the top 2 singers in the group.
So, now it's down to Diana, Jasmine, and Fantasia, and the contest is pretty much over, because Fantasia is a favorite, though Diana is my favorite. Jasmine just won't hold up another week.
The way I got hooked was the audition stage, where they show some GOD AWFUL singers trying to act like they are good. It's hilarious at that stage, then you get hooked into watching it to see how far it goes.
