Wild Speculation on the 'American Idol' Wildcard Twist

Just as RealityNewsOnline writers speculated wildly on what might be in the locked box on Survivor, it is time once again to take a shot at another mystery. This time, writers from RNO and Foxes On Idol have put forward their thoughts on what Simon's big "twist" might be on American Idol. Oh, sure, we know that the first part is that not two, but four contestants will be chosen from the Wildcard show. But what about the second part? Simon has said it's a biggie, and Fox has continued to insist that it will not be Frenchie coming back.

One rumor has it that Simon told a British tabloid reporter that this year's show will crown two winners - one male, one female. The ladies will only compete against the ladies, and the men against the men. And a commercial for the show indicates that perhaps the viewing audience may have a say in the Wildcard vote. While either of these might be true, it didn't stop us from our less serious speculation. Let's take a look at the contributions by David Bloomberg, Jason Borelli, Mike DeGeorge, L. Dougherty, Brian James, Peggy Keller, Phil Kural, Sharon Rose, Jen Shrader, Sting7, and probably some others I forgot to list (sorry in advance to anybody I left out!).

The big twist is:

1. Simon is the Mole!
2. Kelly Clarkson really wants to be country singer and will be entering the Nashville Star competition.
3. Justin Guarini really wants to be Kelly Clarkson!
4. Juanita Barber was really Tamyra Gray!
5. Partrick Fortson is really the lovechild of Steve Perry and Randy Jackson!
6. Frenchie was Ruben in drag.
7. When Simon and Randy start criticizing the contestants, they bring out Robin Leach and Melissa Rivers to demand rain gear, tents, Kleenex, food, wine, cigarettes, and new judges.

11. To win, you have to spend five minutes buried alive with Alana Stewart and an angry possum!
12. Jim Verraros and RJ Helton have joined the Bloods and have come to smoke out Simon!
13. All the contestants have to sing Chubby Checker songs. (Get it? "The Twist"?)
14. All the singers have to perform the same song: "Muskrat Love."
15. Survivor's JoAnna will be punctuating their songs with backup "glory"s and "hallelujah"s.
16. In THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY EVER, the judges will only have four roses to give out. If the contestants accept these roses, it means they want to continue on the journey.

19. Magilla steals all the contestants' outfits.
20. Corey Feldman insists on performing a song from his album.
21. The piano player is The Mole, and he has been sabotaging selected contestants by going too quickly or too slowly for them this entire time.
