While filming Luke, 'American Idol' judge Katy further asked her fellow judge, "Why do we have to go this far, Luke?" As Luke began to reply, Katy interrupted and said, "Because you won't orally take vitamins." Luke was then injected, and he let out a loud cry.
While listening to Aniston's song, Luke continued to take his IV drip. Seeing the judges interrupt the audition made a fan claim, "She was really good!! The IV stuff is just stupid!!!" Another angry fan claimed, "Why the f do we need to watch someone take IV? This is why the show is so scripted." One curious fan asked, "Why does he have an IV?"
A fan slammed the producers, "The tape is usually the worst part when getting an IV." One asked, "What’s with the IV drip?"
Another asked, "Do you like to drink caffeinated beverages while working?" One slammed the judge, "I'll take my supplements and vitamins in pill form, thanks."
