i'm worried. >> you know, i'm a little worried, too. that's what simon wanted. is she going to make it or a meltdown? that's what will keep people watching. i think they will try to drive brittany to the breaking point because it's going to be big ratings and people are going to tune in to see what she will say or do next. >> idol now, season 8 champ, chris allen, let's say he has choice words about the show that helped find fame for him. what's he saying?
