American Idol Experience Conspiracy Question

[sjames]

After returning today to the cold UK after spending 2 weeks in sunny and hot WDW, I went to AIE 4 times seeing various different shows, a couple of finales and a couple ordinary shows and noticed something...

Each of the four times I saw it, the winner was the last person to perform. Now that sounds a bit odd to me, but I just wondered if anyone else had noticed this or whether it was just a huge coincidence or whether the people running it fix the competition in a certain way?

As long as people are comparable in talent then the last one is likely the one most remembered.

If you show me 20 pictures of different cars, I'll likely be able to tell you the last one and maybe a few others.


I don't know if the producers put who they think is the most talented last or not, but it's similar to the real AI show. The early performances (good/average) can be lost by the end of the hour.

The show we saw on the 16th, the first girl won and it was well deserved.
After seeing the third girl I was almost going to vote for her. Luckily they recapped it and I realized the first was much better.

As one who smells conspiracy in everything, that sounds just like a coincidence. Or the singers weren't so great so most people just choose the last one.

:lol:

This happens all the time at marching band competitions. It's just kind of a universal competition rule, I'd say.

For our show, the 2nd contestant won.

It will be interesting to see how much play the attraction gets on the show. I guranteed at least one person makes it to the call-in voting shows.
