American Idol Wars

Like most American Families ...well maybe most is a stretch, but a good portion of them anyway, we in our household are American Idol fans. I have to say that this year heated up to the biggest in house rivalry we have seen yet. Early on in the season, both of the older girls just LOVED David A.. They would flip out if anyone so much as breathed loudly while he sang. At some point though, Allie jumped the fence and became a David C. fan. I'm not quite sure when it happenend, but it made for some interesting episodes from that point on. We watched the "sing off", and of course voted. Thanks to unlimited texting, for a while we had dueling texters in the house. Each girl trying to out text the other to make those votes count. In the end I think that Allie won, because she pretty much texted her votes for the better part of two hours.

If that wasn't enough, Allie decided that she needed to step up and support her choice. So she took a plain white t-shirt to school, and had all the David C. supporters she could find sign the shirt with Sharpie's. Below you will see the final result of her efforts.




She of course wore the shirt during the final show right up until the announcement. The babies tried to stay awake to see who won, but thankfully they didn't. Allie and I watched from the living room, and Ashten in her room...I mean we were rooting for different guys after all. I was shocked that the shreaks that ran through the house at the annoucement didn't wake up the babies, much less the neighborhood. Allie with her he won dance, and Ashten with her, I'll never watch this show again lament.
(Let's face it though, the best David won.) :-)
