"A.I.'s" Cook's Biggest Competition: Wieners?!

"A.I.'s" Kristy Lee Cook hails from Selma, Oregon -- which boasts a population of less than 3,000. Turns out that a number of the residents can't get "Idol" at home, so they mosey on over to the local Country Folks Restaurant to catch Kristy's performances -- and chow down on $1 hot dogs!

The eatery is pro-Kristy -- where family and friends also attend to root for the hometown girl they watched perform at local fairs when she was younger.

After last night's performance, Kristy better hope the townsfolk have better access to telephones than they do cable television!

8. She sounded like Dolly Parton on speed! It was the worst performance I have ever seen on AI.

9. I think the show might have asked David A to not do as well, if he shows to falter somewhat then it just might give others a chance...which in turn will keep people watching to see the outcome.
Just throwing that thought out to you... :-)

10. TMZ, could we stop with all the AI crap today??? Please. OK, the writers are big fans of AI. I get it. Doesnt mean all of the readers are. I am sick of all the AI articles today. I dont care who did what, or when they did it, or why. I dont care who leads a gay lifestyle and I sure dont want to hear about it. Could we please STOP with all the AI stories? For crying out loud, there's a billion other things you could report on besides this. No wonder other countries hate us.

14. I'm so with you, #12...................

15. Jesse is right. This is getting ridiculous. Apparently you can just post a paragraph or two about some contestant's family and friends eating hot dogs, and call it news.

At least TMZ is giving John Mayer and the Beckhams a break.
