"Ellen DeGeneres says her first week judging American Idol wannabes has been &amp;quot;exciting.&amp;quot;&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ll tell ya, I like being live because anything can happen on live television,&amp;quot; she says on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to air Friday. &amp;quot;Yesterday, Simon had so many buttons open on his shirt he almost had a wardrobe malfunction....&amp;quot;\r\nSee who got voted off Thursday&amp;apos;s Idol!\r\nAs for Ryan Seacrest? &amp;quot;I always knew that Ryan worked hard, but I had no idea,&amp;quot; she said of the host, who also has a daily radio show and produces multiple shows on E! &amp;quot;During the commercial breaks, he works another job selling Mary Kay cosmetics. I know, true story.&amp;quot;DeGeneres, 52, also says the contestants -- and even the judges -- &amp;quot;sound totally different&amp;quot; at home on TV as opposed to in the studio.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The mix is different in the studio so everyone sounds one way in the studio and then I go home and I listen to it....even the judges. You know, in the studio Simon has a Texas accent and he&amp;apos;s the sweetest guy. He&amp;apos;s totally hairless,&amp;quot; she joked. DeGeneres says there&amp;apos;s a lot of &amp;quot;suspense&amp;quot; in the studio.\r\nRelive some of the worst Idol auditions this year&amp;quot;They build up tension and nerves. I won&amp;apos;t do that to you, though. I&amp;apos;m going to tell you who I think is going to win,&amp;quot; DeGeneres hinted. (Cowell has said he thinks it&amp;apos;ll be a woman.)Alas, her next statement?&amp;quot;I think the person who&amp;apos;s going to win is...a girl or a guy...&amp;quot; she joked.\r\nFind out which Idols have had babies or gotten marriedOn Thursday night&amp;apos;s Idol, Janell Wheeler, Ashley Rodriguez, Joe Munoz and Tyler Grady were voted off, leaving just 20 contestants in the competition."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
