CALL HIM The Spoiler
WHY HE'LL WIN... He doesn't get much support on EW.com's message boards, but Scott's ''realness'' is a big draw for his few remaining fans. ''Scott sang from his heart, and sang for the joy of it,'' Dawn writes about Scott's April 26 of rendition of ''Dance With My Father.'' ''He is my Idol and I'll keep voting for him, and keep showing support for him right along with the rest of Savol-ites.'' Patty agrees, saying he's ''the only contestant who is 'keeping it real'... His song choices are clearly meaningful, and don't preach the wrong message.'' (Whatever that is.)
...OR MAYBE NOT Dozens and dozens of you have used the adjective ''horrible'' to describe Scott's singing. Other options include: ''pitiful'' (Marco); ''awful'' (Indiogirl); ''horrendous'' (Carbon); and ''just plain embarrassing'' (Temple). The glum Ohio native doesn't rate much better in terms of personality. ''His body language is repugnant, as well as his attitude,'' says D. Meanwhile, Babs contends that Savol ''has not shown any originality, has not taken any chances or pushed any envelopes with his song selection.''
RANDOM THOUGHT Here's an alternate theory about Scott's success, proposed by VFTW: ''Scott is still around because of votefortheworst.com'' — a website that urges disgruntled Idol viewers to call in for the least talented singer. On second thought, do people really need a website to encourage them to vote for the worst singer?
