Actually the ratings have been on a steady decline since Simon, Dannii and Cheryl left, when Gary, Kelly and Tulisa joined. The show is simply getting old and Simon + Cheryl + Dannii were a brilliant tandem. Nicole is the only entertaining and good judge on this year's panel so if anything, she is the only one keeping the show afloat.
I love Nicole and all but some comments here are just delusional. I commend her for being classy and polite but she doesn't sell much albums internationally. Killer Love sold 750,000 internationally but it was only released in UK and other select European countries. Her singles have fared well internationally but not something really to brag about. I don't think she's talking about PCD sales either since she was saying "I" and not "we".
Still, I am taking Nicole's side though. What Cheryl wrote was uncalled for. "Ill-mannered" and "bitchy" are not words I thought could be eventually used to describe her. I'm sure Nicole pitched for the job as she did express before that she wanted to be on the judging panel. Nicole, Cheryl and a few others were in the running but Cheryl was ultimately chosen. But I doubt Nicole was still pitching for the job when X Factor had already started. The most that could happen is that when Simon was thinking of firing Cheryl, he let Nicole know of the job opening and offered it to her.
