Personally, I would not like Sanjaya to win anything, ever and I'll be upset if he wins American Idol but getting angry at VFTW is pointless because they don't even care about the show.
It makes no difference whether they care about the show or not, in fact, that's sort of the point. If they cared about it they wouldn't be doing it in the first place (that's a given). It's a bunch of children playing "Look What I Can Do!", that's all it is. You'll get that in plenty of other things, but it's idiotic regardless of what situation it's done in.
Also, they do care about who is good or not, that's the entire point of the site, to vote those that are the worst. Wouldn't have a basis if they didn't.

VFTW has little impact on the votes. Tens of millions of votes are tallied, for one. Plus, they supported Sundance, and is he in the top 12? No...
Impact is impact, and a vote is a vote. It doesn't matter if they aren't controlling everything. Sanjaya has a large fanbase (can I even call it that?), and VFTW is boosting him. It's irrelevant how much it's helping him, but it is.

As far as the final two, I can't make any significant guesses, there's a chance that Melinda won't even get there. Not everyone actually votes on talent, so you could end up seeing something similar to last year. Heck we could get another Taylor Hicks, who ends up getting through on grasping the crowd as opposed to having one of the better voices.
