The fundamental flaw in the show's execution. They couldn't make it any more obvious that they have an agenda in who they want and who they don't.
I'm glad for Monica that she stayed, as I think she's very talented, but I don't think Simon or the powers that be would be overjoyed if she lasted much longer. She's not puppetesque enough.
