We’d been wondering what was gonna happen in this scenario and, finally…

Paula Abdul revealed on the Johnjay & Rich radio show Wednesday morning that in the case of a tie, Simon Cowell would have the deciding vote on American Idol.

This season, the show has added a fourth judge, Kaka DioGuardi.

So if the judges are split 2 to 2 - Cowell’s vote will determine whether or not a contestant will make it through or not!

Paula also revealed that thus far, all the people auditioning have sucked.

Way to hype up the coming season!
