Even with all the hoopla surrounding Simon Cowell's departure from "American Idol," the competition ended on a low note.
This week's "Idol" finale was the lowest-rated ending since the competition's first season.
Some 24.2 million viewers saw shy crooner Lee DeWyze get crowned this year's "Idol" -- down 18 percent from last year.
When Kelly Clarkson became the first "Idol" in the summer of 2002, 22.8 million viewers watched
And the show's producers weren't the only ones who ended the season on a low note.
Yesterday, runner-up Crystal Bowersox revealed that she and her boyfriend Big Tony -- who'd been cheering her on from the audience all season -- broke up last Tuesday morning -- right before her finale performance.
Big Tony went home," Bowersox told Ryan Seacrest during his morning radio show. "It was a mutual thing. We're both logical adults.
"He's a small-town guy -- that's fine. I'm a small-town girl, but I want this more than anything.
"I want this career, this lifestyle," she said. "and I didn't think he was up for it.
"And he didn't think he was up for it."
She went on to say that she was "a little sad he did it on performance day," but that she used the emotion during her performance of Patty Griffin's "Up to the Mountain."
Still, Bowersox said that she's "the happiest girl in the world right now."
In a related story, the winner of Idol this year, Lee DeWyze also lost his beard this morning in an unfortunate shaving accident.

Not that theres anything wrong with that.
Must've been a hell of an accident!
I knew this was happenin' one week earlier.
When the third contestant was 86'd one week prior to the finale, Bowersox turned to DeWyze and threw a huge face kiss on him, including wrapping one leg around his waist, on live TV.
When I saw that, I took it as evidence that either (1) they'd been sacking it, or (2) she was going to jump the boy's bones later that evening.
Probably yes on both accounts.
