In the least surprising development in the history of civilization, Steve Jones and Nicole Shitzinger have been fired from X Factor. Poor Steve had never done anything like this in his life and was so awful VFTW actually began liking him! And Nicole proved that someone with the mental makeup of a six-year-old girl wasn't a good choice as a judge.
I predict Kelly Rowland to move to the US version, Dermot to be offered as well but refuse. Gary Barlow to be fired with Simon reclaiming his seat and doing both versions. Katy Perry to be offered Kelly's spot and refuse, the seat eventually being filled by a d-list washed up ex-celeb.
Glad to read that Nicole got the ax, even though this was a train-wreck of a show and it's soon to be off the air. With Nicole's fake sincerity and laughable soul-searching/advice for every contestant she had to send packing, even Pauler looked more intelligent and believable by comparison.
Goodbye Nicole! Go back to obscurity as you relive your 15 seconds of fame in the Pussycat Dolls.
I believe that Steve and Nicole's exit is one of VFTW's greatest victories ever. You know Simon (and all the other Judges / Contestants) most definitely read the posts and articles here. Thank you so much for this site! VFTW Victory
Steve and Nicole were only a matter of time. Good riddance. As I learned quite a long time ago- the better looking the guy, the bigger an asshole he is.
But I'm honestly a tad surprised about Pauler being canned after all the pre-season "kissing and making up" butt-licking she received from Simon. Guess there must still be too much of that sexual tension in the air.

X-Factor Season 2 Judge lineup:
Simon Cowell: as Simon Cowell
Britney Spears: as the crazy one who, in between drug-fueled rantings, offers something surprisingly profound to consider. She will make us all reconsider our take on her sanity and realize that she's even more crazy than we initially thought, but equally clever. Crazy like a fox.
Gwen Stefani: as the slightly less crazy, somehow slightly less washed up, slightly more relevant one.
Ray Charles: as the tone-deaf African-American guy.
