American Idol Takes a Dive ... Literally
It's no secret the once wildly popular show has been falling in the ratings this season, but American Idol hopeful Symone Black literally took a tumble -- right off the stage -- during last night's episode.
The 16-year-old girl from Rancho Cucamonga, California, passed out and fell on the show's first Hollywood Week episode after singing Otis Redding's Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay, leaving the judges worried and speechless.
In typical dramatic reality show fashion, the show left the fate of young Symone unknown to viewers. The last Idol fans saw of her, she lay on the floor, surrounded by stage crew as executive producer Nigel Lythgoe screamed out, "Medic, please!" Though the cliffhanger forces viewers to wait until tonight's episode to see what happens, a Fox spokeswoman said the teen was treated for dehydration and doing fine.
While Symone moves on in the competition, it was the end of the line last night for Jim Carrey's daughter, Jane, who delivered a subpar a cappella performance.
"I talked to my dad and he was really comforting," said Jane, who bears a striking resemblance to her father. There's always next year.
