Jason Castro: All But a "Memory"?

Jason Castro"American Idol" message boards are buzzing that tonight's "Idol" castoff will be Jason Castro -- and it's allegedly Ryan Seacrest who leaked it!

An email exchange posted on an "Idol" fan site points the finger at Ryan -- saying he blabbed that it's Castro that's getting the boot.

Only problem ... Ryan doesn't even know yet himself!

While Ryan has said in the past that he finds out who gets sent packing the morning of the show, we're told the only two people who know the big name at this point in the day are the two executive producers -- Nigel Lythgoe and Cecile Frot-Coutaz.

In fact, Nigel told us exclusively who will go home tonight -- the person with the least number of votes.

91. Well, I was hoping it would be Brookie W. going home tonight, oh, how i was wishing, not going to wish anymore. But I was glad Carly was the one though, she was always soooooooo painful to watch, S-C-A-R-Y, real scary, phew, glad I don't have to look at her anymore. But Brookie should have been the one. I really am not trying to be nasty. They all can sing. It now is at the point of popularity. So all us D.A. fans, need to vote, vote and keep on voting no matter what. In some ways it would be better if D.A. came in second, then he can do his own thing, and not get stuck in the Idol contract which limits him. D.A. will get a contract, and probably there are song writers already writing songs for him.

92. Yawn. Jason needs to get rid of that hideous glue on dreads that looks like a furry dead octopus landed on his head. When he was talking about having one of his dreadlocks fall off and land on the dinner table when he was on a date I just about puked. Matter of fact it still makes me wanna ralph.

He's do-do and so is ahyeeeeeeeesha. Only reason she's still there is she's picking up all the black votes. No talent.

David Cook is just plain nasty. He wants fame too much and it's going to ruin him. He'll chase it until it turns on him and destroys him. As a singer? moderate, nothing outstanding but he has stage presence and knows how to play to the girls and prance nicely. Tried an end run around the AI contract and tried selling his music through Amazon until AI pulled it.

Archuleta stands a chance as he does have a good voice, he's sweet and he just might have a grab at the gold ring. Downside? His overbearing, failed musician of a father who wants to live vicariously through him. This will effectively screw up any and every change David could every have. Unless he breaks free from his stage father, he'll never succeed on his own.

I really wish he'd stop mouthing 'sorry' after every performance... David has nothing to be sorry for - but as for his father? Reminds me of Brittany Spears' mother.

Otherwise the contestants are boooooring!

*Yawn* Zzzz.....

93. As long as the two David's stay, the best performer will win, BUT neither Jason nor Brooke have the talent and skills of Carley and Syesha. I think that at this point the Judges should have equal status as the public. Right now, if a large population of teenage girls are voting, Jason will stay because they think he's sexy looking regardless of his voice. Is that whet Idol is supposed to be? Brooke gets the sympathy vote, not ther skills vote. What is the criteria, Simon?

94. seacrest again????? what an idiot.... first he is rude to michael johns ( and that wasn't scripted) now he blabs about something he doesn't even know and as it turrns out it was not jason who was voted off, it was carly.... he is a total jackass.... let's all get together and vote him off....

95. Well, this proves it. You can't believe ANYTHING you see on the net anymore. Ryan Seacrest leaking the Idol loser to the media? Yeah, so how come Jason Castro is still there and Carly, who is a thousand times more talented, was sent packing? Idol will never be a pure talent competition as long as it is left to the public to vote for the winner. How can it be with teenagers and old ladies voting for voting for the cutest guy, not the contestant who sings the best? Remember Chris Daughtry? 4th runner up to Taylor Hicks. Now Daughtry had the best selling debut album in history and is touring the country, and taylor Who?, I mean Hicks, is relegated to doing grocery store grand openings back in his home town. All because the little old ladies thought Hicks was cute and a "nice boy". Case in point: My mother thinks David Archuleta should win "because he's so cute and he has such a nice voice". Notice she said cute before she said anything about his voice. He may be cute in a "puppy dog" kind of way) but he is by no means the best singer. Now that Carly is gone, the best singer they have is David Cook. Even Syesha does not given consistently strong vocals. I say it every year, and this year is no exception: Idol is a joke.

96. Mr. Sensitive Stinky head is still there! Why?
He always looks like a deer in the headlights.

97. I truly believe this show is rigged! The judges know from the first time they see a possible candidate for stardom during the auditions, I have no doubt in my mind, they already know who the winner will be. It's a good realty show, with audience participation, but it's not fun anymore.

98. You are so right dougalog! I couldn't have said it any better than that.

99. I would contend that Jason's majority of votes come from COLLEGE age... he is an Texas AGGIE. So We all vote for him..

100. david a is too young, not mature enough to handle the record industry, it is brutal.... he will be fine as he matures, he's not ready.... david cook is.... he is very good.... i didn't care which one went as far as carly and brooke , don't like either, and as a matter of fact since michael john was voted off, i do not even watch anymore... he was better than the girls and just as good as the guys who left.... it's another chris daughtrey for me again.... idol was very boring this season....

101. I am just happy that Jason has remained. He could very well be the next Bob Marley if he wanted to sing Reggae. Being from Belize, and loving Reggae music, I would buy his CD if he were to cross over and give it a try. He also has the appeal for the women and we would line up to see and hear him. For once, I would leave my husband at home and have a girls night out - lol!

102. TMZ is wrong again. where do you get your info? At least admit it when you screw up.

103. OMG! i can't believe jason is still in the competition...he's boring...has very limited vocal range...it was a pain listening his Memory rendition...c'mon people! you gotta think about who you're voting for...pick the best, the one who will sell albums, the one you think you'd go out and see his/her concert...
