Candidate auditions 10 times for the reality show.

Blake Boshnack has traveled to tons of cities over the years to audition time after time for American Idol, even after being slammed by the judges in his Season 5 audition. In last night's episode, we found out why this hopeful has never given up. It's because of his mother! She has encouraged (and by "encouraged" we mean pushed) Blake to continuously audition due to her obsession with the show. Has this mom gone too far and actually hurt her son by subjecting him to rejection after rejection?
