Blessed Saint Antonella, the patron saint of VFTW, has a new song up on her MySpace featuring Paul "Barefoot" Kim. The song is called Playing Games. It's really not all that great, but it's great to hear from our Porcelain Princess again. It's been too long. Keep it up, Antonella, we need to see more... we mean hear more from you. And hey, Paul Kim might be sort of cool too, we guess. Either way, we welcome Antonella updates to the site that don't involve her MySpace pimping some other random person that we don't really care about.

To celebrate the fact that Nigel Lythgoe has quit his job on American Idol, we put together a tribute video that features many awesome moments in the first four years of Vote for the Worst. See if you recognize everyone in the video, and if not, read up on some VFTW history. It's good stuff. Enjoy, and here's to many more years of VFTW victories (that just happen to now be Nigel-free)!

VFTW started off with a bang during season 6 of American Idol when we selected Antonella Barba and Sundance Head as our first two picks. Almost immediately, racy pictures of Antonella surfaced, causing a public outcry and a flood of support. Eventually, pictures appeared with an Antonella lookalike performing oral sex, and VFTW was the first website to prove that these pictures were without a doubt fake. After lasting 3 weeks longer than anyone expected, our porcelain princess and the big guy were voted out. We then selected Sanjaya Malakar as our pick, and what a whirlwind that caused!

American Idol 6 was the weirdest season yet, mostly because it was so boring. But some performances stood out as VFTW classics. Here is the list that was compiled by VFTW members that highlights our 10 favorite performances of the year. Some were great for their bad singing, some were great for their eccentricities, and some were great for one word only: Sanjaya.

 

10. Cheek to Cheek - Sanjaya Malakar
The favorite VFTW contestant of the year made a splash with his big band night performance when he came out dressed in an all white suit and slicked back hair. Afterwards, Simon mockingly called the performance "brilliant," to which Sanjaya shouted, "Welcome to the Universe of Sanjaya!" We loved it!

 

Some of the things people enjoyed the most about this season of VFTW were the hilarious caricatures of our 6 picks, done by artist Laura Hawbaker. Well, we're auctioning the original caricatures off on eBay, so you can own a piece of VFTW history. Only one copy of each caricature was made, so when they're gone, that's it. Make sure to bid on your favorites today, the auctions will run for one week. Each caricature is signed by the artist.

Another week of Sanjaya, and this is great, because Sanjaya is now tied with Scott Savol and Kellie Pickler for longest running VFTW American Idol pick. If we can get him through next week, he'll be the all time record holder. And next week is Latin week. Sanjaya, please sing Shake Your Bon Bon. Please. We'll bake some cookies. Also, Michael Buble outed himself as a Worster when he said he was voting for Antonella. We'll need to get him the updated memo on Sanjaya, but thanks for the help, Michael! And is it not obvious that the producers are just sticking Haley in the bottom every week so people get mad at her and forget about Sanjaya? Lame tactic, producers. Lame.

We lost our Worsters, but we had a great 3 week run with them! Sundance and Antonella were truly VFTW victories in a great sense, and now it's time to move on to the top 12 and a new phase of Worsthood. Who will we vote for? At this point, we've gotta embrace Sanjaya and take him as far as he can go ;)

Even though we haven't voted for him yet, Sanjaya is our man now! Let's help this kid get on the tour :)

You may remember that larger than life American Idol season 2 contestant Frenchie Davis was kicked off the show for her risque photos. Well, now Frenchie's mad that Antonella Barba got to stick around this season, and she wants a public apology from Idol and further negotiations. Except Frenchie forgets that she modeled for a porn website that said its models were underage, while Antonella just took some suggestive pictures with friends (remember, the blow job pictures are NOT really Antonella). Big difference.

This may be one of the most VFTW episodes of Idol EVER. Nick, AJ, Alaina, and Leslie went home. ManBearPig sheds tears, Alaina can't complete her sing out, Pickler comes back looking 40 and still sucks (with a much bigger butt), and ANTONELLA IS SAFE. I can't stop cheering. This is the best show on television, folks! We love you, Antonella, don't let us down next week.

That was TERRIBLE, yay! After Sundance let us down last night, Antonella brought the VFTW performance skills with Because You Loved Me. Then she rolled her eyes at Simon and decided not to listen to him, calling him out for dissing Jennifer "Boomie" Hudson. Antonella, you ROCK. But she's gonna need a LOT of help to stay in, so dial 1-866-IDOLS-05 as much as possible. This is a big week for us, and it's gonna be tough, so get everyone you know to call too.
