Last year, I PERSONALLY dialed off 1300 calls to keep Sanjaya on the week before he was eliminated. This does NOT include over 500 busies (577 to be exact, according to my notes from that week)

This week, I pumped out 600 (644) calls for Brooke. The average 'Tween may do maybe 5% of that tops.

Sanjaya Malakar basically ruined last season. Changing the format to allow the judges to vote off one contestant, perhaps right before the top 3, would insulate the show against people like you who vote for the idiots just for the sake of voting for the idiots.
