Before the show, we made a bet on how the time would be alloted on the air. My bet was:

-- 5 min. for Gwen Stefani to be pimped endlessly
-- 15 min. of commercials/AI pimping itself/etc.
-- 5 min. of actual contestant content.

At the end of the night, we got:

-- 4.5 min. for Gwen Stefani to "sing" and pimp her album and tour
-- 17.5 min. for AI commercials/self-pimping/etc. (includng 30 sec of pimping Gwen as being part of "Idol Gives Back")
-- 8 min. for actual contestant content, and that includes the recap at the beginning.

Darn. I was only off by 3 min. AI must not have sold enough commercial time, because Chris Sligh actually got a sing-out.

And the Sanjaya nightmare lives on...
