American Idol finds a problem with their voting methods

    The American Idol producers, Ken Warwick and Nigel Lythgoe, have noticed a particular pattern when it comes to voting habits of their viewers. Since their target audience is mainly girls and women they are noticing some negative consequences. During the past five weeks girls have been voted off the show. It seems to be that women are only voting for the guys on the show. This leaves are the girls on the show in the dust.
    The producers are trying to come up with a plan on how to change this outcome. They have three ideas. One is to limit the amount of phone and text votes per viewer. Another is to model the voting style of another reality TV show, Dancing with the Stars. They vote off contestants with not just the viewers votes, but also the judges. Their last idea is to model the style of  So You Think You Can Dance. They have the public vote. Then they take the bottom three and let the judges decide who to vote off.
    They are not going to change any rules during the rest of this season. They will save that for more seasons to come. I think that this is a great idea and would be a great addition to the show. After all the public doesn't really know who should be voted off. I think the ultimate decision should be left up to the professionals.

Sister Wives

    Sister Wives is a relatively new show on TLC. This show follows the lives of a polygamist family from Utah. Kody Brown is the head of the household. He has four wives and sixteen children. Technically he is only married to one woman and the other three marriages are only spiritual. This is how he can get away with it. The whole reason that this family even agreed to do the show is to make the public more aware of their customs as polygamists. 

    Robyn has been the latest addition to the family. During the first season they showed Kody courting her. They eventually married also in this season. It has been 16 years since they had added another women to this family. Robyn has three kids from a previous marriage. The couple is now expecting their first child together. The other wives are very supportive and Robyn is even considering having a home birth. This child will make the 18th child to the family. 

"I'm overjoyed," Kody, 43, told People magazine. "This connects Robyn and me together in a way that nobody can take away."

    I do not understand how they can live like this, but I guess it is a personal choice. I myself could not take the thought that my husband was having a child with another woman or even that he was dating another woman. I would also be a weird thought to figure out how my children and my husbands children were related. Half-siblings? Cousins? Who knows?

Chris Brown upsetting the dancers on Dancing with the Stars

    Cheryl Burke is a professional dancer on the reality hit TV show Dancing with the Stars. She got extremely upset when she found out that Chris Brown was going to be preforming on the show. Chris Brown was just convicted in 2009 of abuse. He plead guilty to the felony charges in June of 2009 after he beat up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. The couple was driving a rented car in Los Angeles when Brown choked, hit, and bit Rihanna. He also tried to push her out of the car. He was sentenced to 5 years probation and 6 months of community service. (He deserved a lot harsher punishment.) He also is not allowed within 100 feet of her unless they are preforming at the same event. There were two previous incidents of abuse that were reported on Chris Brown's probation reports. One was in Barbados and the other in Europe. The reason why Cheryl is so upset about this is because she suffered from domestic abuse previously. "As a victim of domestic violence, I don't agree with him coming on the show, but it's out of my control," the Dancing with the Stars dancer told Extra after Monday night's show.
