^Good - he is delicious, but a horrible host.

The show's producers are denying that Steve is out. We'll see what happens. They DO need to fire Nicole though.

Josh doing Alanis?

Why would anyone want the uncharismatic, cold, fake, and abrasive Nicole as a host?

For a finale that was pretty bad. This show picked up a little speed in the early live shows, but it fizzled out for me.

The show is just way way overproduced. Too much.

I hate Idol, but watching X Factor makes me appreciate the production values of Idol.

Overproduced? I think it's just poorly produced.

No surprise Melanie won. I would've been shocked if Josh or Chris (I was rooting for him) won. Love Drew's new hair colour. Having 50 Cent perform on a 'family show' with all the cursing....not a good idea. LOL

For next season, I hope Cheryl Cole and Simon mend things so Cheryl can replace Nicole.

I'm into the 2nd week of the live shows from X-Factor UK and I noticed the set is the same as the US X-Factor set and they also had the "one judge has to kick out a person in their group" twist. So far my favorites are Kitty Brucknell and Janet Devlin - two total opposites. Love Kelly Rowland but she's gotta stop with her constant "put it down!" comments. LOL I see Louis is still up to his old tricks with choosing an outrageous act to make fun of.

The show hit a 7.5 in its last hour of the finale. The numbers for the season weren't great. As for Steve Jones..he is sexy as hell...but his hosting capabilities are lacking.

Host Steve Jones will not be returning next season.

Now just get rid of Nicole and bring back Cheryl Cole.

More shakeups! Paula and Nicole are out too. Wow. It's a blood bath today. I'm shocked about Paula leaving too.

Toups I'd love for Cheryl to come too but I don't think she will. If she happens to make it over I will be incredibly surprised. I always love what they say about Nicole and her going off tot concentrate on her music... Ok.

LOL according to those reports it wasn't even their decisions... I am shocked about Paula. I wonder if somehow/someway Simon gets Paula back.

It will be very interesting to see who comes in the revolving door.

WTF! Why did they let Paula go?
