Carly just picked the wrong season to try out for.

Did the guys whine last season when it was obvious a woman was going to win?

Some seasons are "girl seasons", some seasons are "guy seasons". Usually it's obvious right from the start. This season was clearly a guy season, so they stacked the top 24 with the strongest group of guys ever. Next season will be a girl season, and we'll likely see the quality of the male contestants they put through to the top 24 drop considerably.

Carly should have held off until season 8.
