So sick of Simon Cowell.

There are PR stunts and then there is Simon Cowell.
I am now at a point (especially with the "rehiring of Cheryl Cole") where it is totally ruining the shows for me, all the PR and spin.
I did not enjoy BGT as it became so obvious what was going on, especially in the papers. Everything now seems so contrived.
I will now give x factor and us x factor a miss, as I will not be able to look on them as a good competition anymore, but rather a show where you are told that it is up to viewers who wins, but after what has happened with the us x factor saga, and also BGT, and with everything that has gone on, you have to wonder.
Let's face it, if someone is publically sacked, faced humiliation in the worst possible way, would you want to return to the place that treated you like that. I wouldn't, yet apparently Cheryl Cole is going straight back without any problems about it. Doesnt make sense.
I do think however, this will backfire massively against Simon Cowell over here, he cannot deny this looks odd. People will also switch off like me as it just does not feel real anymore.

now its worse with cheryl by his side, his obsession with her has reached abnormal levels, it's even surpassed prince edward and wallis simpson.
they have this aura of evil power about them, just hoping and praying that they don't succeed
Cheryl been axed from XFUS. Headlines for days.
Then suddenly, Simon returns to BGT and the story changes to an evil tweeter making allegations about a contestant.
Then that show ends, and the police reveal that they won't be prosecuting anyone as there's evidence it was just a publicity stunt.
As soon as that story turns out to be trash, lo and behold, Cheryl is back in XFUS again and the headlines contiue.
He's playing us for mugs.
This is what i think. Americans love drama on their televisions and this will give them it. They love drama on tv so much that on reality shows like Wife Swap they make arguments up. (it tells you at the start that some of it isnt all real.)
january jones reveal your baby daddy to be someone shocking
jen and brad get back together
He will be hoping for that too. You know it does earn him millions :D
Oh the irony of your post! He would love nothing better to see it thrive while he is making more money away in USA
Its been about the judges far too much for 3-4 years now...its got out of hand and the level of manipulation going on during last years XF coupled with this just makes us all suffer from "manipulation fatigue". I'm sick and tired of these shows being about the judges...and I think everyone else is too.
Couldn't agree more. I sincerely hope all this comes back to bite $imon on the behind. The only way I can think of to make any difference is either not to watch or, as I've been doing for the last 3 series', not to vote. Not sure whether it really has any effect but it makes me feel better.
I just hope the massively inflated balloon that is his ego bursts before long. Mind you, how long before he gets the law onto those of us who are claiming it is a PR stunt....;)
