Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
Apparently Simon Cowell has already moved next years X factor so he has time for the US x factor and is saying he is considering axing both X factor UK and Britain's Got Talent..
Personally, I would be happy to see both axed..
What do you think? Just tick which you want axed (or saved). You can tick more than one.

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
Can we have a 'not bothered' option in there?

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
Personally I'd settle for the programs being replaced by one where you vote on which 'star' from previous series gets executed and the manner of their dispatch.
Obviously Simon himself gets left for the Christmas special and all proceeds to charity. Everyones a winner!

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
I don't think axing x-factor would hurt cowells profits, as I bet the US producers are offering more than the british ones. BGT is a better show generally, as its about more than just singing.

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
I heard or read somewhere Simon said something like the minute it stops being exciting its bye bye.
So maybe it's on its way to being unexciting.

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
It has gone way beyond unexciting. It might even be said..it never was.
There, I said it.
I think he meant, when it stops being exciting counting all the money, he would stop. I suspect he is close to that point here, looking for the bigger moola in the US of A.

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
Good to see that I am in the majority, all we need is for all reality shows to be cancelled.
