Well see, Jeri... I still think it's about the money. I've watched the show for years and seen the best get "voted off" early on and go on to big money.

Another factor might be their ages... a minor cannot be held to a contract when they turn the age of majority. Gee golly gosh eh! And the age of majority deoends on the state in which the contract was signed... in British law anyway... I dunno about down in The States.

No matter. They are all talented and have the world by the ass on a downhill slide.
