Did you pick this up, there really this an anti-Simon vibe on the show!

I hate it because I'm a big fan of Simon and all his acts. I personally dislike Louis' G4 because they seem to me dated and boring.

But why are the Louis and Sharon really putting Simon down, they foul-mouthed his acts tonight, yet they all survived the vote!

personally I like simon ...hes the only one who has the balls to say it as it is and not worry about looking like mr nice guy

I think it's all a big act.

Well they definately are focussing on the Judges this year, its like a drama-comedy thing!

Problem is tho, are they focussing on the judges more than the acts?

hm im not sure sharon rteally seemed wound up by simon and he sat there with a smug look on his face

I LOVE YOU SIMEY!!!! ITS OK!!! HEHEHE!!!!!!

the audience boos him but he doesnt mind it! He can dish it out and take it back. I love that about him!!!!!

Everyone likes him really, he was voted celebrity of the year remember!

Oh yeah! thats right. he did win that!!!!!

he was funny when he was giving his speech! ummm ummm ummm, I think he said it like 20 times!! LOL

and like someone else pointed out, when simon does give a compliment, it really means a lot.!!!!!!

Yeah, Simon is a nice bloke, who talks straight, and ultimately knows best!

I like people who talk straight, Gordon Ramsay is another fine example!

Although obviously there will be some playing up to cameras between judges, I felt I detected some real tension between them. On the ITV2 show Simon and the other two barely looked at each other, and Simon's body language, sat as far away from the others as possible was a real give away. I couldn't help wondering if some genuinely harsh words had been spoken between the judges off camera.

Well theres been loads of stuff going round in the media about a tiff between Sharon and Simon this week. Could be.

I think Louis and Sharon are plotting against him. They give each others acts good comments (they did) and give Simon's a hard time so they can influence the vote.

I think both Sharon and Louis are guilty of doing exactly what it is that they are accusing Simon of - playing dirty.

Sharon claimed in the newspapers that last week's show featured more of Simon's contestants than hers. Well I didn't think it had and was surprised at her claims. Infact, it seemed a bit outrageous but I felt that she timed it to come out in the week preceding the start of the live shows.

In the week when the judges were told of the groups that they would be mentoring, Sharon and Louis immediately sided with each other against Simon saying that he was going to be unbearably big headed and implying that he was going to play dirty etc. and that they mustn't let him win.

It later struck me that Sharon and Louis might be playing on Simon's reputation as the harsh critical judge to work against him by airing their views in the papers and on air in an attempt to influence us against him. Funnily enough, I haven't really seen Simon bad mouthing them or being unfairly critical about the contestants. He seems to have been the only one who was even attempting to give constructive feedback.

Meanwhile, Sharon is playing hardball just like Simon but she can bring her nurturing side to the surface as a judge, whilst underneath it all is the business woman with a good business brain. Louis too does pretty well at managing groups so they both have proved themselves. Now they're out to out-do Simon and I reckon they are just as competitive but are trying to make it look as though Simon is the only one who is competitive and playing dirty.

Having said all that, they are probably justing playing with each other to garner more interest in the show but the squabbling is annoying me.

My gut Simon really is annoyed by the way those two are behaving. You could see the last straw snapping in Simons expression when Sharon was going on about her panty liners needing a change. That woman is unbelievably crass.

My jaw dropped too when I heard that,if that had been said on A.I. they'd have whisked straight to the commercials.
I really think the intensity of this show is playing with Shazzas mind....
IMO they should can this "twist" nonsense quick-smart before someone says something they live to regret.

Louis and Sharon have fallen into the "Simon is bigger than the show" trap. If they were real professionals who believed in their acts, and their tallent, they would ignore Simon and talk constructively about their acts, but Louis spent the entire show talking about how many number ones hes had, and saying the complete opposite to whatever Simon said. Sharon spent the entire show making dagger looks at Simon and totally ignoring her act at times, instead spending all her tv time against Simon.

And what did Simon do? Compliment other acts, and not one attack on Louis or Sharon that I can recall. He sat there, he looked professional, he *SUPPORTED* his acts when he had the chance to and he didn't go taking pot shot digs at the other two.

In the end he will win this because the other two just can't handle it.

It's all panto. I thought it was hilarious, and Simon is big enough to take any crap flung at him.

Well that showed last foureyes when all his acts got in the top 7. One of his will win and it'll be Steve or Rowetta

LOL...is Simon going for the sympathy vote himself? It's all a big mad experiment, you know. Just to see if it works...they're magnetising the votes to the judges themsleves.

Hmmmmm. So THAT's why Simon has Auntie Vee! I get it now....so's people will feel sorry for HIM .

*Slaps forehead* Doh!

Shoulda worked that one out long ago....Simon's the winner then?

I there's me thinking he was a total bastard

ROFL. I'm beginning to like you DH

Vote for Simon and Sharon and Louis' acts on Poll: Your Top 8!

Stop spamming your thread, I can see it. I'll choose to make my list if I want to

Sachi and Sachi eat your heart out! you've got some strong competition here...lol.

Awww poor clnbnt04....only trying to help with polls and all,

Sometimes you reap what you sow. Hes been 'honest' to the point of brutality over the years, so yes, he should be able to take the same treatment aimed at him that he has dished out over the years.
