If the innovative, smart nerds of the Spirit Innovation Awards met the Idol contestants - they would pronounce Siobhan Magnus as hot nerd gal extraordinaire - and give runner-up status to Aaron Kelly. Then they could take the contestants "new designs for Fords" and show them what real design is, not just the decorative paint jobs the Idol singers did.
Siobhan would be asked by 43 guys for dates, and Kelly would get 7....with another 24 nerd gals and 2 gay nerd guys asking if he could intro them to Casey James.

All kidding aside - Go Folks! I did the Westinghouse Science Fair years back and loved it!
