Or maybe not, since this is the ever-optimistic Randy Jackson we are talking about here… [AOL]

    Ah, but due to the now-delayed digital transition, sweeps are in March. What surprises do you predict then? Another disqualification perhaps?

    Doesn’t he say that every season? And even for those times that it isn’t true (most of them), would he admit it?
