AI would never change the voting structure since they are still a #1 show. Let's not forget that this is not about them signing a talent, it's about the television ratings. They can still sign the talent even if that person loses.

But if they really wanted to have the least talented person go every week then just change the voting to 'vote out the least talented'. That way there would be a consensus most likely. This is what they do on Survivor until the last vote.

Or...

They could still vote for their favorite but have that vote be 50% and the judges be 50% (I think this is what they do Dancing with the Stars). This would insure no early off for the most clearly talented. Seems to work on "Dancing".
