If Simon ever leaves "American Idol" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Will and Grace Fanatic · 08-05-2003, 10:25 PM

do you think the show would survive?
I personally don't watch the show. Saw 2 episodes and didn't like it. But I've seen shows like "Access Hollywood" questioning if the show would survive without him.

To some extent yes, but I think after a few weeks the ratings would start dropping dramatically.

SBTB Geek · 08-06-2003, 01:57 AM

No, he makes the show worth watching, and he is the one who cuts the crap. If it wasn't for him, the people on the show wouldn't be talented. He eliminated the garbage from the beginning.

Microprosa · 08-06-2003, 02:23 AM

No, he's the star of the show! Without him it's just another typical reality show.

Paula Abdul · 08-06-2003, 02:51 PM

I admit it - I watch the show more because of Simon than because of the contestants. I do not think American Idol would survive without Simon Cowell.

PaulaAbdulFan · 08-08-2003, 12:00 AM

prolly not. But i would still watch just to see Paula

Crimson and Clover · 08-08-2003, 12:02 AM

i dont think itd be any good without Simon

vienna waits · 08-08-2003, 01:49 AM

I'd watch it since I dont watch the show for him at all. He can go eat a big fat cow.

starsprite · 08-08-2003, 02:49 AM

I don't think it would last at all...maybe one season, then it would be over.

I would still watch to see Paula, too. But that's if the show was still on. I think they would cancel the show if Simon left. So yeah, I would definitely still watch it, even if Simon left, but I do not think it would "Survive"

DianeChambers87 · 08-13-2003, 06:10 PM

I don't watch american idol..but I am going to try (lol I'm announcing it publicly bailey) to watch AI3...however I've seen Simon on talkshow's like Conan O'brien and he's pretty funny....lol well except when he made fun of Coney's hair..lol but besides that....that's the only reason why I am going to watch AI3...well that and the fact that I have to see what all the fuss over paula abdul is about....(Go SHELLEY!! bwahahahahahaha

..... don't kill me bailes lol

barwars · 08-13-2003, 06:48 PM

I watch the show, but only the early episodes.
Basically-- for Simon. He's a very funny guy. He's so serious, and hilarious at the same time. After all the bad people leave, so do I. And I dont think AI would last without Simon, and he wouldnt last without AI.

Brian · 08-22-2003, 04:01 PM

I would never watch the show if Simon wasn't in it. I don't have to say why it wouldn't survive or why I wouldn't watch it. Several people in this thread have already done it for me.

vienna waits · 08-31-2003, 12:03 AM

You guys do realize that all the bad people are fake, right? Simon, Paula, and Randy do not see everyone audition. In fact everyone has to go through TWO sets of producers before they see the trio. The reason why these people think they're good is because they've already made it through 2 rounds of the auditions! The producers just let them through for the comedy aspect.
