If someone in your family was voted American Idol, how would this effect your relationship? Your life?

Nothing especially if you are married and have kids.\n\nIt's a hard life to live!

I'd be one of the desperate house-guys. I'd probably be Mike. I give my all to this woman I love, and she stomps on it. I treat her like a queen, but she doesn't realize it... Then when she tries to fix it, I find out more lies.\n\nLadies, I need some love.

Chris is gone. But you know he will get a recording contract, so I don't really feel sorry for him. He got the exposure he needed. You know, the decision is based on the public votes, so evidently more people voted for the others...   that's the way it works. Tayor and Elliott really cranked it up this week. ....

I just heard that Chris has been offered the lead singing position of the band Fuel. I don't know if he'll take it or not, he probably has to wait and finish his Amercan Idol responsibilities.

never....I could barely live with my own family as much as I love them, but that is because they are my family and I have to deal with them....random people I would have much less patience with.\n\nWhat if all the bills are in your name? What if they can't pay their share of property taxes? What if you can't stand them and want them to move, who gets the house and how do you split it up? What if the kids corrupt your kids or if the people turn out to be irresponsible parents? I know I would have more patience with my kids than someone else's. \nAlthough its cool to have people around, sometimes you do want alone time which you would never have in that situation. All it takes is one bad apple to ruin it for everyone else. The more people in one area, the better the chance you come upon a bad apple.

That would be a huge break of trust inside a family. The consequenses for the children, the parents - everybody. I do not think I'd go on living with my husbond if he did this to us. My sister - maybe. Maybe. It would depend on her alot - how she handled it.

No because if it were the previous idols wouldn't be selling as many records as they are.  And just because Chris got voted off, doesn't mean it is rigged.  I think a lot of Chris fans fell asleep when they were supposed to vote for him and that's not the show's fault. I wish Chris wouldn't have gone home, and they wouldn't kick off someone with such a huge fanbase if it were rigged.  It's not like they go "Hey, let's throw America a curve ball and send many people's favorites home!"  If anything they would send the person everyone hated home.

Not sure.  I'd feel pretty heartbroken, and probably would be very near to ending the marriage.  It depends on whether or not my husband was sorry.  Haven't had this happen to me, so I don't know.

My guess is that the American Idol voting system was largely to blame.  Somebody calling for Chris couldn't do so if they line was busy.  This is probably the biggest flaw in the voting system and has probably been responsible on more than one occassion for the elimination of good singers.  Apparently if you're on Idol, you not only have to be a good singer, you have to hope that your fans can actually have a chance to vote :S.

Boyfriends come,and go,Family is forever!!Sometimes we think we love someone that our family does'nt care about,as a way of rebeling.I dated a guy one time that my family hated,I even excepted when he proposed,I did it just to prove to my family,that they could'nt tell me who to be with.When I finally came to my senses this guy tried to kill me.He told me that if he could'nt have me,noone else was gonna be with me.When my family started acting like they liked him,it was like I woke up to the truth.

I think Taylor Hicks is a good singer and a great entertainer but I wish Elliot would have won.  He has the best voice!  Chris is awesome too.  I would have loved to see him win.  I don't like Katherine.  I think she kinda stuck up and full of herself.  \n\nWhat would happen though - if we voted for who should leave A.I. instead of who should stay?  I bet different people would be at the end.

I like Chris because he's different than any other previous idol contestant. My hubby hopes that he loses out in the final b/c he swears he'll have a better record if he isn't tied to the shows producers for life!

Okay, you want to have things to think about.\n\nWhat if last week instead of voting off Yul  the raro people had voted off one of the two girls from Aitu? There is a rub to the immunity idol, you have to bring it with you to the tribal counsil. Think about that. If yul has it on him, only Yul can use it. Jeff alluded to that tonight. Everyone knew Yul had the idol but nobody knew if he had given it to someone to hold that night. If he ever does then he too can be voted off. Tricky isn't it? So if raro had voted off one of the girls last week, Yul could have done nothing to stop them. That is why it was stupid of Yul to show anyone the idol. It was even stupider of jonathon not to realize that yul had just told him who to get voted off that night. Had Jonathon told Raro what was up instead of trying to be slick and persuade them to vote off one of the girls without telling them why then one of the girls would be gone and Raro could be picking off Aitu one by one until yul is all that is left. Then they could have pick which one of them goes out one week while yul goes out the next week. It was a complete act of stupidity that just seemed to work out in Yul's favor last week and this week as well. Everybody knows that Yul has the golden ticket so to speak to the final three. That means only two can go with him. one of them has got to be thinking they need to get that idol out of the game now. Jonathon has got to know that he is the odd man out even though he is the perfect guy to take with you to the finals. no body will give Jonathon the money. Still the girls both know that Ozzy is likey to beat them in challenges so they have to do something to get rid of either Ozzy or Yul. I know this won't happen . It is to bold to happen, but, it has to be said that Yul having that idol is a major distraction to the other people.\n\nBack to your complaints. I thought Parvati was the more annoying of the girls. She sounded like she was cracking. In fact I think she has cracked. That whole tirade about maturity sounded like a Pee Wee Herman skit. Jonathon came out smelling like arose, especially after she made a scene about eating the cocoanut. No wonder he didn't feel like sharing the fish. I thought it wrong but i thought it an eye for an eye as well.\n\nAnd you couldn't be more right about the immunity necklace. Adam could have given it to her. He could have voluteered for exile island. He could have done all kinds of things to show he cared for her. He didn't. All he tried to do is get Yul to vote off Jonathan. Now he will probably be snuggling with Parvati until he or she gets voted off next week. Expect Ozzie to try and get him out in the competition. \n\nThe way I see it the pecking order is Adam, Parvati, Jonathon or Ozzie, and then one of the girls or Ozzie.  Yul will try and make it to the final two and win but it could all backfire. You never know. Enjoy.

Divorce him AND your family.

It will be difficult if your family doesn't approve, but if the two of you love each other, you can work ANYTHING out.
