So I decided to watch The X Factor. It airs int he midst of a crowded comedy block anchored by NBC and ABC. I have to admit that I was not blown away by the show. I guess that I ma jaded by shows like this because there are so many. The X Factor is the perfect combination of two other shows that have a connection to Simon Cowell. Those two shows would be American Idol and America's Got Talent. If you watch the show you can obviously see what I am talking about. The giant X, the set, the judges, it is all becoming stale. The only thing that this show has over others is the guaranteed 
prize money of $5 million. That to me seems like a tad too much and I am willing to bet my parent's home on it that there are so many strings attached to that money that you might end up owing more than you make. I am giving this show a Digit Down because I feel it is a few years too late.
She is back and hopefully better than ever. Simon owell has confirmed that Paula Abdul with be a judge on his new show "X Factor". Of her he said, "I've always wanted Paula. Always been very vocal about that. I missed her the second she left ['American Idol']. Always loved working with her even though she can be a pain. ... I don't know what it is about her, but I've always clicked with her. You just have to get that chemistry, and she's right. I've never found anyone better than her." He also confirmed that a judge from the U.K. version will be joing. That judge would be Cheryl Cole. Of her he said, "I thought she was bright, cute, knew what she was talking about, ambitious. And you meet someone special a few times in your life, and this girl is special," Cowell raved of the Girls Aloud singer, 27. "If people take to her like the British public did, I think she's going to do really well in America. And Fox was desperate to hire her." Though Simon has announced and confirmed them as judges, no contracts have been signed for them. I am glad that Paula and Simon are back together again, as I am sure many veiwers will be. They do have great chemistry and it works well. I have always thought that if Simon was not goign to marry Terri Seymour then he should marry Paula, it would be great. But this is TV and this reality TV marriage will draw in big raitings. I am giving Paula Abdul a Digit Up for landing a job after her own show did not do 
so well.
