Can't blame them. The show has sucked for years. I knew it was officially over when they had Ellen Degenerate as a judge. Her liberal politics and being a bulldyke did not endear Christian Conservative viewers.
Just like THR left LF. Good riddance to bad/boring rubbish...
Steve and Jennifer will probably be more missed than Simon and Paula were. Jennifer sure got more out of the show than Paula did. Idol revived Jennifer's career and she's making $$$$$$$. Paula can't get anything going. But I digress. I loved the show with Steve and Jennifer but now the show is likely toast.
I think Simon made the show, too. He was like a male version of Judge Judy. Paula the train wreck was kind of fun to watch. I never knew if she was going to be sober or wasted.
