When Cosima De Vito quit Australian Idol live on TV during the semi-finals in 2003, it was an unforgettable TV moment that left a shocked Guy Sebastian and Shannon Noll to fight out the grand final.
Millions of viewers tuned in to see 22-year-old Guy take the top prize, leaving Cosima fans crushed. Even Judge Lan "Dicko" Dickson declared she should have been crowned.
That Cosima, now 47, was forced to leave because throat nodules threatened to rob her of her voice was almost forgotten as outraged fans fuelled conspiracy theories, and sparked rumours of bad blood between Shannon and Cosima.
We were left wondering if Shannon got more votes than Cosima after Guy was announced as one of the two grand finalists.
But Cosima's shock exit meant Shannon went straight through, whether or not he had the votes.
CONTROVERSIAL END
