Rumors have swirled around suggesting several different names for the position. Jelly Roll said he’d love to be asked to be a judge on the show. Fantasia Barrino, Kelly Clarkson, and Miley Cyrus are other names that have been thrown around.

Right now, it isn’t clear who will be replacing Katy Perry next season. Fans believe they know who will win on Sunday night though. After seeing who made it through to the finale, some viewers think the competition show might be rigged.

Is American Idol Rigged For One Person To Win?

Emmy Russell and Triston Harper were both sent home during Sunday night’s live show. The theme for the night was Disney songs and each contestant sang their heart out.

Now, moving on to the May 19 finale, the Top 3 contestants are Jack Blocker, Will Moseley, and Abi Carter. Many American Idol fans are excited for another finale event. However, others think that the competition show might be rigged for Jack Blocker to win.

Blocker was initially given a “no” by Katy Perry and Lionel Richie during his audition. Luke Bryan wound up overriding the other judges’ decisions, pushing him forward in the competition. This and several other instances throughout the season have had viewers wondering if things have been set up to help Jack Blocker win the title of American Idol.

“Am I the only one who feels that everything was always rigged for Jack to win,” one viewer wrote on X. “They gave him a no in auditions. The [cameramen] and others said no bring him back and then he goes on to win the whole thing to finish the story.”

Another person agreed writing, “JACK BLOCKERS gonna win… if an underdog gets this far they usually win….. this show is a joke.”

The American Idol season finale will be a three-hour event. It airs on Sunday, May 19 at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
