Look, without the tween vote Siobhan would have still been gone, it just would have been next week instead of this week. I'm sure tweens are responsible for Tim Urban and Aaron Kelly hanging on past their expiration dates, but that can only go on for so long before actual talent wins out. The simple fact is that while many of the girls in the competition this year were good, none of them really had a chance of winning the whole competition except Crystal. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.
