Nowhere near the calamity coming from NBC, but give it time. We’re sure the feud will pick up some momentum.
As he announced earlier this week, Simon Cowell is saying so long to the show that made him a namesake in favor of bringing his UK success stateside. Next year, Simon will switch gears from judging American Idol to judging the new USA version of The X Factor.
This sounds all well and good over here, but the Brits are mighty pissed with Simon. It seems he is attempting to stay with both editions of the show, which would require them not to be slated at the same time. The US is shooting to premiere the show next fall – the exact time slot the UK has always had for the program.
Now, it is an all out war over who will get the time slot and who will get Cowell. We’re fairly certain the US will win (we have a good track record of beating the Brits), but we don’t think it’s fair! We take their judge and their show!
What will they be left with???
Then again, they can’t have American Idol and X Factor on at the same time! Super confusing!
What’s a greedy TV network to do?
