"due to an error with the graphics shown on-screen(incorrect voting numbers were displayed)..."

how can they screw up the numbers when the contestants themselves are holding up their fingers with the number to dial??? Unless they assigned the wrong numbers to the wrong people for voting (which could easily be fixed as long as they know what the right numbers were). All they would have to do is switch the voting totals to the right contestants.

Does anyone else smell a conspiracy?? hear me out on this one I'm betting one of the favorites to win was actually the lowest vote getter, and Fox used this voting screwup as a coverup. What if say, Carrie Underwood, Simon's proclaimed favorite to win the contest somehow didnt receive enough votes to stay on(maybe because she did so well that all of America assumed that she would get enough votes, and thus didnt vote for her)? What length would Fox go to, to ensure that Carrie had a better shot at winning? If it was revealed today that Carrie was the lowest vote getter, the shows' ratings would plummet and everyone would think that the show was fixed, and it might even jeopardize the show itself. Fox could stand to lose millions of dollars..

How could Fox screw up something so simple as putting the right voting numbers on the screen???

(If you don't like what I am saying, substitute your favorite contestant for Carrie, and read again)

Oh and the show tonight is supposed to have just replays of last nights performances with some live comments. Who wants to bet that they will be talking up one particular contestant an unusual amount more than the other contestants, so they can get enough votes to move on???
