Sanjaya Malakar

A website known as VoteAgainstTheWorst.com is pushing an elaborate plan to eliminate Malakar by having millions of people place additional votes for the seven other contestants: "If we can spread the word to organize our voting, we just might be able to make this American Idol results show fi lled with a little more integrity. Imagine the joy you'll feel knowing that the right people are going home each week!" The campaign is a direct response to the massive campaign led by shock jock Howard Stern and the website VoteForTheWorst.com that is working to keep Malakar on the hit show, which tops the ratings in both Canada and the United States. The No. 1 show in television and it's getting ruined." So far, Malakar has proven immune to tough criticism from all of the show's judges, even the usually kind Paula Abdul. Judge Simon Cowell has quipped he will quit the show if Malakar wins the competition.VoteAgainstTheWorst.com's campaign involves splitting up America into seven large sections, with each section assigned to vote for one of seven other remaining contestants, but not for Malakar.For instance, the website says people in Alaska, Colorado, California and Delaware (total population, 42.3 million) should vote for Melinda Doolittle, while voters in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland and New Mexico should vote for LaKisha Jones (42.7 million).While many want him off the show, Malakar got a boost from an unlikely source, singer Gina Glocksen, who was voted off last week instead of Malakar.
