1D finishing 3rd and Matt winning was a nightmare scenario for him.....he looks really depressed on the Xtra Factor.

It was so obvious he was not happy with Matt. His comment to Matt for winning was a generic, stumbled few lines along the lines of "you're a nice guy, and erm erm erm you you worked your way to the final".
Simon wanted to take the winner to the USA and say "the winner of the UK X-Factor... Rebecca Ferguson". Matt will never make it in the USA. It's been done to death by US acts.
You can't treat the audience like idiots.
You can't manipulate them.
Expect big changes next year.
he would have loved either 1 direction, rebecca or cher winning but not matt
he knows he will flop, thats why and credibility of the show will reduce.
that's why he's not worried, and i've learnt always trust your instict you can sort of predict how it will go and whatever you think thats how it will. in all honesty i have said for a few days i would have been happy with any of the top 6 but matt winning, he seems cocky, up himself to be frank. i dont like one direction but i rather them than him. rebecca would have been a good winner but she lacks something, cher would be a fab winner but everyone hates her! in all honesty he should not have won!
Well, he can... he can drop Matt after his contract ends and invest in Rebecca and/or One Direction
Simon is only gutted because he can't use the line "The winner of the X-Factor UK..." for Rebecca or One Direction.
1D or Rebecca would've definitely been safer bets, but that's how it goes I guess.
I'm almost certain that it was part of Simon's plan to use the act who won in the USA and to help on the US version of the show. He wanted to say "we produce this". I think he'll be a bit embarrassed putting Matt on a show in the US.
Duffy, Adele, Winehouse etc... have had some relative success in the USA and Rebecca would have fit with that lot quite nicely. There's also Leona, of course.
I also believe the Disney Channel bunch and Justin Bieber are quite popular there so One Direction would fit in perfectly.
Would Matt even get a look in on the American market?
No, the last two AI winners were carbon copies of Matt. They are not selling many records, either.
To be honest, most of the talent this year seems pretty average to me, and I don't think Cowell has great hopes for any of them - despite all the "they all might get signed" talk.
I don't think I've ever seen him look so gutted : don't know why he was confident as they never once went top 2.
He's gutted because he can't say "Look! Cheryl Cole has won three years running!"
If you are a true fan do not throw her in the loin's den.
She has been a fan of Matt from the start and she didn't look bitter at all unlike Dannii who I heard in my own hears many times saying we have to stop Cheryl winning again.If Cheryl said that about Dannii she would have been called a lot of names. I think Cheryl gets hard time for everything she does and everything she says.I believe if it was Dannii who dropped Gamu in the judges houses no one would even know who Gamu is by now.
It's sad people who were trying stop that, has crown a pub singer instead of a true talent even Dannii knew it was OTT for Matt winning.
Rhyddian says Simon respects people who stand up to him
Are you sure ?
He's not happy when Rebecca is in the last two :
