i just had this random thought today...
are the judges allowed to vote?
i know they probably don't have time to sit around and vote for 2 hours, but are they allowed to throw in a few votes for their favorite?

Even if they're not allowed to vote, they pretty much tell the world they want our boy to win.

I doubt that they do any voting. If they did, it wouldn't be much, but I don't think they do.

On TMZ there is a report that they can, in fact, vote for contestants.

oh thaaanks!
but i hope paula knows that it's completely pointless if she votes for both of them.
unless she just forgot to mention that she'll be giving more votes to dc

I figured that they too would cast their sacred vote. After all, no one had said they can't.

But ... someone please tell Paula NOT to split vote! I know she wants to be nice and all that, but now's the time when she has to make up her mind on whose side she has to take.

And oh, the last line in the article got me cracked up, "Hope she doesn't base her decision on one of those imaginary performances."
