It May Be Personal, But It's Not Family

It's day four of MarioGate and an anxious world still has no idea why Idol Wannabe Mario Vazquesz took his voice and went home. Even his Mom doesn't know. The best she could give us is "Ai Dios mio".....Oh my God, indeed.
Speculation and rumors have run rampant. We've seen "he's gay", the Michael Jackson connection, pre-existing recording contracts and future recording contracts, and of course FOX forced him out for one of those reasons, or some other as yet unrevealed reason.
His first excuse was "personal reasons," although that one may have been fabricated by FOX. Mario's secondary excuse was "family problems" and that was quickly denied by his family. He should have stuck with the personal reasons. His or FOX's.
Last night on The Letterman Show, Mario gave us 10 more reasons he quit. We'll actually only six.
No. 10: "Well, for starters, I was really, really drunk.
No. 9: "I've got my eye on the ultimate prize: 'Belgium Idol"'
No. 8: "Yeah, my career's over, but I just saved a bundle on my car insurance."
No. 7: "After seeing Michael Jackson, maybe I don't want to be a pop star."
No. 6: "Ryan Seacrest is all hands."
No. 5: "I started liking when Ryan Seacrest was all hands."
No. 4. "Screw it--I'm quitting this, too."
At which time he walked off another show.
Meanwhile, Mikalah, Lindsey and Scott are still dreaming.
