simon has now is LA Reid, aka just a couple of suits talking about which singer was or wasn't 'pitchy'. I liked it better with Abdul and Scherzinger because every week was a giant cry-fest and xanax party.

Basically, Simon is upset that the debut of the American version of The X Factor isn't doing as well as the UK Version, not only that but it gets half the viewers of American Idol and NBC's The Voice.

Nicole doesn't mind the boot since she is focusing on her singing career, as for Paula we hear she got the news of her axing from a lawyer and that Simon hasn't even had the decency to tell her himself. OUCH!.
