I dont think they should get a free pass.”
But, if memory serves me correctly, none of the ones who've had a free pass before have had it due to 'flu. The others have had problems with their throat or vocal cords, so were perfectly well enough to attend a clinic and be filmed doing so. The poor girl's obviously on bed rest, and they're hardly going to film a sick person in their bed or send someone with 'flu to a clinic! I don't see what's so difficult for some of you to understand.
Also, it might seem unfair getting a free pass, but I think the alternative of kicking them out of the competition altogether when they're really sick is even more unfair. Especially when it's something contagious that could wipe out all the contestants.
