'American Idol' Behind the Scenes - How they keep it secet ?

I always wondered how American Idol or any reality show keeps such a tight control on insider news, results. It is possible that people can goof up and cat is out. Here is the info how AI people do it

Set Secrets: To make sure no info gets leaked during the show, the Idol staff doesn't allow any electronic devices into the studio--that includes phones, cameras, BlackBerrys, Palm Pilots and Sidekicks. No texting or early voting allowed! And if you're wondering why no seat ever looks empty in the studio, even though some people (like celebs) might leave early during the show, here's the trick: They have plenty of seat fillers on hand to sit in a seat if someone gets up and doesn't make it back before the commercial break ends. Gotta love television magic.
