Vote for Gaspy! Dial 1-866-IDOLS-01 or 04 or 07, or you can text 'VOTE' to 5701. Each vote we cast is a vote to help keep Jeff Archuleta annoying everyone on Idol. We must keep him there to piss everyone off. "With You" was by far the worst performance of the night, with Gaspy forgetting the words as usual, singing terribly off key, and trying to pretend like he's cool enough to sing words like "I need my boo." Hilariously VFTW! So vote hard. 5 out of 6 times, the person who sang first in the final 3 has gone home. Oh noes! Remember, David winning would cause Jeff Archuleta to get to annoy record producers too. VFTW Victory!

Nigel Lythgoe spoke to Entertainment Weekly today about Jeff Archuleta's banning, and basically, he confirmed that Jeff was kicked out for being a douche. When asked why Jeff was banned, Nigel said, "[Jeff] has been asked not to participate in the choice of music with David or be in the room when David is working out his routines that he wants to sing." When asked if David's lying vocal coach was telling the truth when he said that Jeff was asked to leave due to fairness, Nigel said, "No, no, no. It has nothing to do with fairness. We just want everyone to have an equal opportunity, and if that's fairness, fine. But this is more of just the fact of let's take some pressure away here, you know? It's like anybody appearing in front of their mom and dad. Let's just open up the pressure cooker, release the pressure, and you just get on and do what you gotta do." So basically Jeff is pressuring David. Oops, exposed again. So vote for David Archuleta tonight. Because the more votes we put through, the more we can guarantee that Jeff Archuleta gets to cause more trouble backstage next week and potentially for a record label. Unleash Jeff Archuleta on the entertainment industry. Yay! VFTW!

Well that didn't take long. Terrible stage dad Jeff Archuleta has been banned from Idol, says TMZ. They say "Jeff has been a complete pain in the ass, interfering with the entire production. He has badgered producers, the band, vocal coaches and even other contestants." Too funny! That's the same stuff he pulled when David was on Star Search. The straw that broke the camel's back was his insistance that David add lyrics from Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" to Tuesday's show. Since the song was not cleared, it cost the show tons of money and pissed everyone off. Hey, this banning is great news for us! 1) David won't have to sleep in the cage tonight. 2) Without his dad's help, David is much more likely to forget the words and give us a VFTW performance. 3) The awkward gasping will be at an all time high this week. Bravo, Idol staff. Bravo.

Edited To Add: The Associated Press is confirming the story. Here at VFTW, we really know how to pick our train wrecks.

We've gotten tons of letters saying that David Archuleta better not win American Idol. He's annoying, he can barely form a coherent sentence without gasping for air and laughing nervously, he sings the same thing every week while getting more nervous, he forgets the words on a regular basis, and he's controlled by his obnoxious stage dad. So wait... that makes him the worst. Hey, there we go! Obviously less talented and less marketable than Syesha and David Cook, Gaspy is the new VFTW pick! Sure he's annoying, but that's why he's perfect. Most of America does not want him to win. Imagine an Idol winner who couldn't aspire to be much more than a less-talented Clay Aiken. Imagine an Idol winner whose press tour would take 20 minutes to answer a single question. And just imagine the type of sappy ballad that the producers already have lined up for David to record, dripping with extra cheese and terrible melisma. We smell failure! Hopefully this won't get him locked in his cage for another night. Break free, Gaspy. Break free. As an added bonus, if you sing Lil Mama's "Lip Gloss" this week, we'll love you forever. Who's working the strings now? Daddy? The producers? Or VFTW?

Jeff Archuleta talked to US Weekly to defend himself against Naomi Judd's assertions that he's "the worst stage dad." The interview is incredibly lame... Jeff is basically saying, "What? I have no idea what a stage dad is so I couldn't be one. I am a great parent." Of course you'll say that. We believe none of this. Partially because Jeff is creepy looking and partially because Naomi Judd has no reason to make this up. She has nothing to gain. Let's get more behind the scenes stories from people about Dadzilla please. VFTW is the voice of truth, so if you know anything about this and would like us to post about it, e-mail us at mail@votefortheworst.com. Free the Lizard Boy from his cage!

Skip to 3:35. Naomi Judd talks about how horrible David Archuleta's stage dad was when she was a judge on Star Search. Poor kid, he was probably locked in his cage after he wasn't sure what to do when Seacrest asked him to pick a side. We'll send food soon, David!

See if you can make it through the whole video. If you do... you are a far bigger masochist than I. Scary and sad at the same time.

Just in case you haven't noticed what we've been pointing out for weeks, a fantard made a video of David Archuleta and his ridiculous habit for sticking his tongue out during his performances. It was funny in a terrible way so we had to post it here. To make his performances bearable in the future, just watch and count how many times he sticks his tongue out to lick his lips. It's way funnier than actually listening to him overmelismafy aother song. Now if only someone would make a video of all of the times he takes big, loud gasps during his songs.
