American Idol Rigged? Noooooo...

From the duh files: Former American Idol contestant Ju'Not Joyner says the show is…wait for it…wait for it…rigged! Joyner dropped this lil tidbit during an online chat today. He said: "It's a fixed thing if I ever saw one."

Did it really take a rocket scientist to unearth this?

Joyner says he was viewed as a troublemaker behind the scenes this year because he questioned the contract all the contestants had to sign. He calls the contract a "slavetract." (Cute)

Joyner claims the honchos behind the scenes told him he wasn't going to ruin their show. He claims he was cut from the show and not invited back for the wild card sannng-off because of his beef with said slavetract. Joyner even called the whole lawyering process at Idol some bullshit Illado. He claims the Idol people hire lawyers for the contestants and then those lawyers negotiate the said slavetracts with the show's lawyers. Get it?

Joyner says he knows how the business works and he was asking questions to protect his interests while other contestants were just 'so happy to be here,' like Prince Akeem. I certainly can't fault the brother for watching his back!

Joyner says he also refused to let the show's producers play up his "from the hood" back story. Hol' up dude... aren't you from Bowie, MD? That's not really Southeast DC.

I'm just sayin…
