    far as I know, it was just harder to push him over the top

    With fewer candidates splitting (let's assume) the same number of votes, it was an incrementally harder task to keep Sanjaya in the running each week. Looks like his built-in network of VFTW/Stern/that sobby girl with the tee shirt finally met their match. They'll only get to install their candidate once Idol's popularity dims, but at that point, it'll be an even emptier gesture.

    So can we stop talking about the show now?
