You know how all the American Idol finalists live together in that big mansion? Well, we recently discovered a few... heh, interesting things about that little arrangement. Oh, and by interesting, we mean scary. See, apparently when contestants are booted off the show, they still get to live in the house. And what's more, Simon lives there with them. What?! Do you think we're making this up?! We have sources! They may not be very reliable, but we have sources. Anyway, recently one of our trusty sources (spies) managed to sneak into the American Idol mansion disguised as Paula Abdul. Armed with a camera and many rolls of film, our nameless spy took pictures by the dozens (and lots of notes) on the various happenings. And by happenings, we're talking... catfights, backstabbing, hot-tubbing, and a whole lot more. Thanks to our spy, we have the full scoop for you right here. So sit back, relax, and learn all about what (l-r) Julia, Trenyce, Simon, Carmen, Kimberly C., Clay, Rickey, and Reuben have been up to!
(The others were absent that day.... don't ask us why. We don't know.)
7:00 a.m.: It's early. No one likes getting up.
Clay expresses his resentment.
Kimberly greets Julia in her usual cheery manner.
7:15 a.m.: As in any household, everyone has his or her own regular morning routine.
Some eat a hearty breakfast...
...some consider their personal hygeine...
...while others tend to household chores, such as taking out the trash.
8:00 a.m.: After everyone has had breakfast, it's time to rehearse.
Some of the idols like to play an instrument while singing, to drown out any off-key notes that may
escape their lips. All the idols are courteous towards one another, offering advice and loving support.
11:45 a.m.: A full morning of rehearsing behind them, the idols engage in various activities.
"If my calculations are correct, this
potion should eliminate the competition."
"Higher. Lower. Now higher. A bit to your left. Stop! Riiight there."
"Shhh... just ignore her... maybe she'll go away."
"Funny... you're actually one helluva dance partner."
4:00 p.m.: Tensions have been mounting all day. With only eight contestants left
in the competition, and the true American Idol still to be chosen, things can get a little competitive.
[They're both thinking the exact same thought, but neither wants to say it out loud.]
"Okay, so you can be part of my alliance."
"Hello, wrong show!"
"...and another thing!"
[Our spy is still not sure what the above argument was about]
6:00 p.m.: Dinnertime!
"Salad again?"
6:30 p.m.: It's the girls' turn to do the dishes tonight.
Kimberly comes to realize that when all the chips are stacked against you, the best thing to do is...
...strip? No, wait, that can't be right.
Carmen and Kimberly get a bit distracted, having figured out (all by themselves) a clever
way to tone their biceps. Woe to all the innocent plates that got broken in the process. 13. Our spy counted.
11:00 p.m.: Nearing bedtime! But we just couldn't call it a day without having one tantrum...
...one accident...
...okay, two...
...and at least one catfight.
Afterwards, our spy told us: "I was lucky to get out with my life, not to mention my sanity. Living in cramped quarters
with those people was like living with... well, Kimberly by herself... not that I would know... but really, it was scary."
We regret to report that, despite the trouble she went to, our spy did not recieve any sort of raise in salary.
Because she never got a salary to begin with.
