Season 6 Has a Big Surprise

Is everything getting a little too complacent and expected on the set of American Idol? Should things change for Season 6. According to this the decision has already been made.

Building off her idea, perhaps a number of those who’ve been eliminated will come back for one episode, and then viewers will vote to let one join this year’s competition as a finalist, a sort of wild-card competition but with alumni candidates, and viewers in charge.

or maybe this

The most shocking part of every season of “American Idol” are the unexpected eliminations; the only people on the stage who are safe are judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson, and host Ryan Seacrest. America would really be surprised, then, if Ryan Seacrest announced that viewers could vote to eliminate a judge.

what about this

Taking the idea one step further, the entire panel of judges could be replaced for a week, maybe with a mix of industry experts, past contestants, and viewers. The real judges could watch the action from the side of the stage, enclosed inside a glass box so we can’t hear a word they’re saying.

I don’t think it will be this

But their biggest change seems like a possible candidate for “American Idol 6”’s mid-season surprise. During the Australian show’s season, the “Up Close and Personal” episode shows contestants’ lives outside of the competition, and last year, they wrote and performed original songs as part of that episode.

I really doubt it

Maybe this season, “American Idol” could give its contestants a song and forced to perform it with only 30 minutes to prepare, like “Hell’s Kitchen” does with food and “Project Runway” does with garments. Or the show could force its contestants to eat only rice while living on a beach, like “Survivor.”
