It shouldn't matter, but it does. Very much so. It always has and always will. Just look at people like Christina & Ali, Kevin Skinner, Turf, and even Michael Grimm. You think Turf had any chance in hell of even making it past the quarterfinals had it not been for his story and the massive push from the producers? No. It's awful. I often say that this show should be renamed "America's Got Sob Stories" because that's more often than not what it's about.
