Hot Horny Girls Instead of Idol's 13th Contestant

Jim at DialIdol found out something hilarious that will inevitably affect this week's Idol show. When the producers set out to make their top 13, did they not realize they would need 13 phone numbers for people to call? 1-866-IDOLS-## is the general format for the number, but Idol only owns phone numbers 01-12. If you dial 1-866-IDOLS-00 or 1-866-IDOLS-13, you get a phone sex line that has "hot horny girls." A lot of parents are going to be angry if their child mistakenly dials the wrong number! Though Idol seems to be all about the sex this year, with the jokes and innuendos at an all time high (mostly Kara's fault).

So if Idol apparently doesn't have a 13th number, but they plan on having 13 contestants, are we going to have some lame twist where the judges save one of them or something? How many times can Idol jump the shark in one season?

But I'm sure that company is just there to make money from misdialed phones, they don't care about mocking the tv show. AI will buy the number for the evening, and that will be that. Or if they ask too high a price, AI will just change the numbers, and then no more future misdials for them.

Maybe they will let the judges boot someone off and then let the voting public vote on the final 12. Weird but what else is new this season. lol

edit: Maybe one of the 13 will have an emergency at home like a dead wife and can't be on the show this week. Game Saved lol

Yeah, I say their blunder either costs the price of buying a number 13 line from the sex peddlers (heh heh heh heh), or they decide to immunize the person with the highest votes from the 3 wildcards, i.e., Danny DeadWife* (no doubt), and he doesn't even perform this week.

*Plus, that'll give him more time to grieve. You know. Over his dead wife. Because his wife is dead, you know. She's dead, dammit! Feel bad!

Wow.

Since the last spot is the so-called pimp spot, we might easily assume that Gokey's the last singer next episode.

Haha, cool! Maybe that sex site should hire Gokey to record a segment for them.

I agree. FOX has deep pockets and will just drive a dump truck full of money up to the sex peddlers. This is much ado about nothing... but still fun to speculate about.

Plus its just funny that TPTB fucked themselves into having to pay smut peddlers to maintain some semblance of order. If I was 1-800-Idol-A-Ho, I'd hold out for mega bucks here, or tell the show to get bent.

I think it's funny that it's titled "Hot, Horny Girls", yet Ryan's down there. Perfect.
