I thought this was a family show?

The hardest working man in show business™, Ryan Seacrest, seems to be making a bid to become 'the most un-PC man in show business' as well. A little while ago I wrote about Ryan's attempt to high five a blind contestant on American Idol - incidentally that contestant, Scott MacIntyre, has since made it through to the final stages of the show - and on tonight's live programme, Ryan took things to the next level.

Tatiana, who has been particularly emotional and theatrical throughout her time on the show, had just sung for the last time and had sunk to her knees in order to implore the judges to put her through to the next round. With judgement summarily passed and Tatiana still on her knees, Ryan takes the stage to interview the contestant and cue the commercials. He approaches Tatiania, and as she starts to rise from her genuflected pose, he pronounces:

'You don't have to get up.'

Unfortunately for Ryan, Tatiana didn't make it through. Probably for the best, you know.
