American Idol: Sanjaya might win this thing

Sanjaya Malakar winning American Idol is a worst-case scenario for FOX. It would single-handedly undermine any credibility the show has as a legitimate venue for talent. FOX, therefore, is in an interesting situation right now. Do they milk all this Sanjaya mania as long as possible and hope that voters eventually come to their senses? Or, do they try and guard against the possibility that he might actually win the whole thing, and try to bury him, PR-wise? I don't know what FOX will do, but for those questions to even be relevant, we need to believe that Sanjaya has a chance to win American Idol this year.

The scary thing is, I actually believe this could happen.
