Idol lies

Did you enjoy the American Idol auditions last night, from Austin, Texas? Here's some
odd news for you:
They weren't filmed in Austin, Texas!
That's right. Seacrest did his intros, etc from Austin, but actual audtions took place in San Francisco, because Hurricane Katrina/Rita evacuees were in Austin at the time. So they flew the contestants to San Francisco and had them audition for the judges there.
Now, this isn't a big deal, but why not say it during the telecast?
