Frenchie Davis, who made the last 32, was excluded from the competition when it was discovered that she had done a lingerie shoot for a porn site to pay her college tuition, she had been heavily featured in the audition shows and was among the favourites to win...
Another last 32 was excluded after he was charged with an assault that led to the victim dying (he was subsequently acquitted)
Finalist Corey Clark had failed to declare that he had charges of assault and false imprisonment on his younger sister at his auditions, the Idol people only found out when charge sheets were published on a website, at this point he was down to the last 9, and was then disqualified.
Finalist Lashundra Cobbins (otherwise known as Trenyce) had also been charged with theft a few years previously, she had accepted responsibility and been bound over. She however DID declare it to producers, and was allowed to continue, eventually finishing fifth

What a NICE bunch of people they sound!
I'm really enjoying this so far, the American auditions seem even more insane than the British ones! It's all those nutcases who keep on singing after Simon has said no, as if he's going to change his mind! ;D

Actually Frenchie Davis was truly fabulous in a big fat screaming diva kind of way... and in the tradition of big fat screaming diva's her audition was 'And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going'

Well, they're down to the final 32, who should have their mugshots and profiles up on www.idolonfox.com at some time today, by all accounts there should be some real surprises at who hasn't made the cut!

Well from the first heat I only remember Fantasia from the first auditions, but most of these people surely must be included on the Callback shows this week

I'm gonna have to stop reading this thread, cos I don't want any spoilers ahead of where I'm up to (ie. the end of the initial auditions)

I faithfully promise to respect your wishes and not give show results once they start the voting! I'm just one of those people who just HAS to know!

I'm TEMPTED to know, just like I keep almost reading up on Survivor: All Stars which starts here next Tuesday, but it's more fun not knowing when you get to watching it.

They've just started Survivor 1 over here, but I always follow the shows online, just because Survivor's a bloody good show...

We're up to the final 32 here now... Scooter Girl is still in isn't she? And next week has the first lot of 8, including Fantasia & the big haired girl in the outfit that Simon said you would wrap a turkey in...
And that Asian guy with the good voice whose father was proud of him is out?
It's a bit hard to follow, but they let some DREADFUL people through - lots of large guys, the pool bimbo, & that redheaded nerd...

One of my faves so far is Elizabeth, & Tiara could be the new Kelly Rowland.

Scooter Girl went out in the final round of cuts, as is Bao Viet Nguyen... the one I was shocked about was the girl who made up the song about the gay ex boyfriend, she did that brilliantly, and then got cut straight after
Bad choices in places!
