American Idol: Ryan Seacrest Spoils The Results Show For West Coasters
March 20, 2010 07:00 AM by Nancy Floyd
West Coast-based viewers of  American Idol were pretty ticked off on Wednesday when host Ryan Seacrest accidentally spoiled the results show for them. On Wednesday evening, Seacrest took to Twitter to break the news that Lacey Brown was eliminated before the show even aired! Keep reading for more details on the American Idol star’s huge mistake….
American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is loved by his fans for his constant updates via Twitter, but on Wednesday night his West Coast followers and viewers of the FOX singing competition were not so amused. The problem? During a tweet to promote his morning radio show, Ryan Seacrest announced that Lacey Brown was the latest Idol hopeful to be eliminated. The tweet was posted at 8:43pm on the West Coast and the American Idol results show didn’t air until 9pm. ”Packed radio show tomorrow…got tonight’s voted-off idol lacey brown, @orianthi, @thedavidcook, & dakota fanning with deets on ‘Eclipse,’” he wrote.
Fans were outraged by the slip-up and took to Twitter to scold the American Idol host. One follower wrote, ”Thanks for ruining Idol for us on the west coast. You live out here, you should know what time it starts.” It seems his goof might’ve affected ratings since Wednesday night’s results show posted the lowest viewers of American Idol in history.
Ryan Seacrest has yet to issue any sort of apology for the mistake and he didn’t acknowledge it on his radio show Thursday morning either. He has, however, continued to tweet as though nothing has happened. Fellow American Idol star, Randy Jackson, joked about Seacrest’s obsession with Twitter earlier this year when he said, ”Ryan will be twittering during station breaks on the show! I’m like, ‘Dude, are you crazy? Is it this important? Can’t you wait until the show is over?’”
