Simon Cowell just cant keep himself out of trouble this last week. Last night he sparked a new X Factor judging row after Sunday night’s deadlock vote-off shambles, hinting he will sensationally axe one of the judges next year.
Simon responded after the judges were blasted by live callers for yet another voting debacle after the live vote was taken to deadlock for the third week in a row. He then FAILED to rule out taking dramatic action.
He admitted it was a “very, very good point” after one caller asked him if he would sack one of the judges next year to ensure a deciding vote was made each Sunday evening.
Addressing the crisis, Cowell taunted Louis Walsh by hinting he would be the first in line for the chop. Targeting the Irish judge, he said: “Do you want me to go along with that suggestion,” to which Louis hit back saying: “Do you want to leave the programme?“
Simon’s latest shakeup came after Dannii was forced to defend herself for bottling it like Simon did when he saved Jedward last week by going to deadlock, which saw Lucie Jones get axed.
Explaining her attempt to rescue Jamie Archer, Minogue said: “I went to deadlock because of everyone else’s choice. I really didn’t want to go to deadlock. All I can do is make a decision on who sang the best. And I really thought it was Jamie. It wasn’t like last week when Simon said, ‘I’m indifferent about both of them.’ It’s really hard to send someone home.“
So who is in the wrong here? Should Simon Cowell sack any of the judges next year? If so, who should go? Leave your comment below…

17/11/2009 at 6:02 pm
i agree soph there is no way i am watching the programme again if he sacked cheryl!
19/11/2009 at 11:35 am
if they sack Cheryl i will not watch again maybe they should do a poll on which judge but i would leave Cheryl out of it because she brings alot of views in i think its between Danni and Louis and if so would you bring another judge in or just have 3

I think Louis Walsh should go. 90% of the time he makes random silly comments that have no relevance to the persons performance, or hes ranting on about that rule book of his, im glad Simon said something about it tonite its getting beyond a joke. I thought it was a talent competition and if someone gives a great performance and shows off what they can do with their voice, who cares who previously wrote the bloody song, as sheryl said George Michael sang it too. So Louis, please Shhhhh or well have to talk t simon about getting you a muzzle.lol

I hope they dont sack Cheryl, because if they do, he wont be alive for much longer lol. To be honest Louis should go but thats if he has to make a decision but other wise none of them should go and defo not Cheryl
And it wouldnt be the same with just three judges it gets boring then xxx
love yooh Cheryl- Ann Cole xxx

i think louis should go. he is rude and nasty piece of work. if he sacks cheryl i will not be able to watch x factor ever again in my life. i got into watching x factor because of cheryl cole. simon can choose either danni or louis but not cheryl. cheryl has to stay then x factor wont be losing the fans or wont be rubbish!
love you lots cheryl cole x
14/12/2009 at 9:35 pm
if cheryl cole goes i bet the viewer numbers will go down by ALOT!!!!!!!
I will actually die if she gets sacked, but she wont, cuz simon is trying to persuade her to STAY!!!!
i think dannii should go, louis is funny cuz everyone hates him INCLUDING simon ! i love their fighting but dannii is just boringg…..
and i bloody hope cheryl goes on tour ….. would be SELL-OUT!!!!
love youuu chezzzzz xxxxx

Maybe Simon should sack himself if he can't do or say anything right this year!
26/09/2010 at 10:08 am
I'm not a Louis Walsh fan at all but I think he's doing a lot better than Simon THIS YEAR! My fave judge is Cheryl
09/11/2010 at 3:44 pm
Why don't they just have a gest judge every week.
28/11/2010 at 3:00 pm
