Simon created idol. He was the only one who was blunt enough to say what we all felt inside. Everyone else was too concerned about hurting the contestant’s feelings.

I see Simon’s loss as the death of the series.

It will be interesting to see what happens with 19 Entertainment, on of the show sponsors and the agency that represents contestants and winners. They have been called out for planting contestants in the top 32 and even top 12. I believe one contestant dropped out due to publicity about her relationship with them. There was enough publicity surround this that the show is losing credibility with fans.

Heck, for half the amount of money they pay him, I'll go on the show and crush peoples dreams and spirits :-)
