From the limited info they gave, that is the impression I had. Hopefully we are wrong.
I really think Simon is sick of doing AI. British shows don't run nearly as long as they do in the US and I think he wants to kill it.
From what I can gather, they are turning AI more into the same format used for the X Factor. X Factor has 4 judges, special intro for the judges and for elimination they have a sing off for the lowest vote getters with the judges deciding who goes home.
We have been witnessing this sing off business not only at the mansion (top 36) but, also for wold card spots.
I just have a feeling......
