Crystal Bowersox Walked Off, Once Quit American Idol

A few weeks ago, American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox walked off of the show and Ryan Seacrest is the one who talked her into staying. Crystal's breakdown took place in the Idol parking lot after an episode of the #1 show. 

In front of several people, Crystal told Ryan she couldn't handle the competition.... she said she hated the attention and said to Seacrest, "What's the point?" Crystal said she was going back to Ohio to be with her family, whom she missed terribly.

Ryan encouraged her by telling her that "the greatest thing" he ever did was make enough money to buy his mother a house. He told Crystal "You can buy your mom a house." Crystal agreed and she decided to stay.

I'm not in this woman's head so I'm not going to judge her. Ryan saved her from making the biggest mistake of her entire life and many Idol fans will be so glad that she decided to stay.
