America’s most loved and hated show, American Idol premiered its seventh season last night with a series of the best and worst auditions from Philadelphia. The show loves to give airtime to wackos of all colors who show up hoping for their fifteen seconds of fame. One of last night’s most memorable ‘characters’ was a woman named Alexis Cohen, whose voice the judges deemed more appropriate for a Jefferson Airplane cover band than Idol (frankly, considering some of the shit they say about other rejects, she got off pretty easy). Alexis went off on a long, angry rant against the judges and ended up flipping the double bird to the camera.
However, our favorite reality TV site, Reality Blurred casts doubt on whether Alexis’ meltdown was real. Site manager Andy Dehnart notices that there’s a production assistant named Alexis Cohen on So You Think You Can Dance, which is produced by the same company that produces Idol. The names could just be a coincidence, but if there’s anything a good Idol fan likes, it’s a conspiracy theory.
