Hot on the back of rumours that Stacey Francis was somehow involved in Whitney's death, American Idol is proving that it does not have to stand back when it comes to story telling psycho contestants. Rumours are flying that the "Gentle Giant", Jermaine Jones, is in fact not so gentle, and faced at least two arrests last year, one apparently related to violence and also has outstanding warrants. It is being suggested that he apparently also lied about being estranged from his father. Having a criminal record is a big no-no in Idol land, so everybody is waiting with bated breath to see if he will be kicked off the show and whether self proclaimed future Grammy winner and compulsive eater, Jeremy, will be hauled back for the second time and then eliminated for a third time.
American Idol desperately tries to hold on to its previous ratings fame on M-Net on Saturdays at 18h00 and Sunday afternoons.
We look forward to next week when it will probably be revealed that Colton Dixon is actually a 12 year old school girl with the family cat on her head.
