American Idol keep touting a big surprise on tonight's show, which in all likelihood is going to be no surprise at all - it's the open competition to write a song for the winner to sing. Yawn.

However, I couldn't help but admire the following comment that appeared over on Popwatch. A perfect Zeitgeist:

I heard this from a reliable source, so I'm pretty confident it's true. They said that they will be picking 1 male and 1 female winner, and they'll have to race Rob and Amber around the world while being watched by Big Brother and the winning team will get a chance to marry a rich oil baron while the losing team will be forced to lose 50 lbs or be beheaded on live TV.

Either that or Simon will wear a light blue shirt, not sure which.
