American Idol: Sanjaya Malakar, Haley Scarnato Could Stick Around



"If search traffic is any indication, Sanjaya Malakar and Haley Scarnato probably won't be going home any time soon from American Idol. Both are favorites to be eliminated in the coming week at Bookmaker.com (see website here) yet a review of search engine traffic reveals a different story. The two were among the most searched for American Idols this week.
Malakar has been listed with +165 odds of being eliminated this coming week on American Idol. This bet would pay out $1.65 for every $1.00 bet. Scarnato is listed with odds of +265, paying out $2.65 on a $1.00 bet.
Both are seen as the least talented in the vocal department, yet Scarnato managed to wow judges and the public with a sexy performance this past week, probably the most talked about. Malakar is gaining momentum as VoteForTheWorst.com and Howard Stern have been prompting their minions to vote for Malakar each week. Seeing a young fan in the audience cry helped to thrust Malakar's popularity even further. "
