I'm sooooooooo disappointed Sanjaya's gone. I really wanted to see what would happen if he won.
There was probably some fowl play involved too. The producers realized how much money they'd lose if he won(especially if Simon left after that) and just decided to can him before it was too late. I really hope that's the case, and that it comes out. I'm hungry for some kind of hilariously stupid media frenzy to kill the show and let smart TV have its raitings back.
That's the brilliance of not disclosing the number of votes cast for each contestant. I would almost be willing to bet he didn't get the least number of votes. I believe that the Anti-American Idol people were keeping him in, and there's no way they just dropped their support out of the blue.
