New AMERICAN IDOL Fantasy TV Game Announced - IDOL GO HOME

Former AMERICAN IDOL Personality Brian Dunkleman to Host New Online Fantasy Reality TV Game - IDOL GO HOME

IDOL GO HOME announced today the launch of www.idolgohome.com, the nation´s preeminent online fantasy reality television game and interactive community for fans of AMERICAN IDOL. Hosted by season one AMERICAN IDOL co-host Brian Dunkleman (who will offer his unique take on the show proceedings), IDOL GO HOME is now accepting player registrations for the only Internet-based fantasy game in which AMERICAN IDOL fans win prizes for correctly predicting AMERICAN IDOL results.

"Idol Go Home gives 30 million AMERICAN IDOL fans an entirely new way to play along with Simon, Paula and Randy," said Adam Pick, IDOL GO HOME founder. "For the first time, our free game provides the fans with a unique opportunity to compete against each other and to win awesome prizes for watching AMERICAN IDOL. IDOL GO HOME is fantasy football with a reality TV twist."

"There´s a lot I´ve yet to say about AMERICAN IDOL, so I am excited about teaming up with IDOL GO HOME and starting my blog," said Brian Dunkleman, host of IDOL GO HOME´s online game."

In addition to the one-of-a-kind online game, the IDOL GO HOME website offers a wide range of special features. Led by celebrity bloggers, including Brian Dunkleman (AMERICAN IDOL, season 1) and Deanna Johnston (ROCK STAR: INXS finalist), IDOL GO HOME´s ´Blog World´ offers Idol fans a personal, free blog with RSS and My Yahoo feeds to syndicate their thoughts (and gossip) about the show.

The IDOL GO HOME site also features Cosmo, the real-time American Idol forecasting tool. Cosmo is a complex algorithm which uses historical and current voting patterns to predict which AMERICAN IDOL singers are ´going home´ next.

The IDOL GO HOME online game begins February 15 and runs through the completion of AMERICAN IDOL´s fifth season on May 17, 2006. To register and play IDOL GO HOME and/or get a free blog, visit www.idolgohome.com.
