Something Subtle.

I just finished watching American Idol for the first time this year (I typically don't watch 'till it's reduced to 12, but I just happened to catch it today). This year, there is somewhat of a wildcard among the women - one named Carly, who once had a recording contract, but supposedly never caught on and is now a "ringer" of sorts in the competition. I noticed tonight at the end of the show, after Ryan Seacrest walked off the state, every girl congratated in a sort of group hug, talking to each other about the night and finally getting a chance to relax. Carly, however, stood a good 6 feet from said huddle, and it was really obvious and a bit shocking to me. I'm not sure if she's purposefully acting like a diva (as Simon implied) or that the other girls resent her because of her history, but either way having no girlfriends among the group will not help her as the show progresses, in my opinion.

That's not quite right.

Two of the women -- Christy Lee Cook is the other -- have had small, failed recording contracts, and one of the guys has as well. The producers knew about it all along and didn't give a damn. As well they shouldn't.

The story's only been blown up in the annual ritual of "ooh, let's create an American Idol scandal" because we can't compete with the show's ratings juggernaut.

Now, as for the divaesque isolation? Not sure what that was about, if it was indeed about anything. But I doubt it had anything to do with her old contract.

True. She must just be a raging bitch. ;-)
