'American Idol' season 8 semi-finalist Ju'Not Joyner spoke out against the reality show competition, claiming it's rigged. In a chat with AI Now, the singer made it clear that although he's thankful for the opportunity, he was never given a fair shot on the show.
"Welll ... first of all, let me say that I'm grateful that I was on the show. Now that that's out the way, I hated L.A. I met some cool folks but overall, it's a fixed thing if I every saw one," he says.
"The producers know who they want and they slant it to reflect that. They fix it in a way that makes you surprised but it's still manipulated," he continues.

The former contestant elaborated his point, emphasizing that it is a TV series.
"What I mean is that people think AI is a talent show. No. It's a reality show with writers!! We're all actors. All these shows have writers that guide the public opinion. 'The Hills,' 'Real World.' All of them."

IDOL has messed up BIGTIME......ANTE UP and pay her what she's worth.Her PAULTRY 2 Mill compared to Ryan's 12 and Simon's 30 is CRIMINAL. Shame on you Nigel,Simon and the other producers for beginning the ratings TUMBLES that will occur after the questionablr votes from Ark in the Finale,and now risking the BEST chemistry on the show...besides Simon/Ryan lol to leave due to an OBVIOUS discrepancy in salaries.....she's worth 10 times her current rate at least!@!!
