Never was the same after Simon left. Randy leaving just cemented it. Those guys used to tell it like it was - good or bad, and we got better performers (well, more entertainment) because of it.

The production changed too. they had a great formula - they just screwed with it too much. It was unwatchable to me the last few years.

Definitely not the same after Simon left. I was surprised that it lasted this long after his departure, though I think Harry improved what had been awful. He's not quite as direct as Simon, but he's better than anyone else has been since by a lot.

Randy leaving wasn't a loss at that point. He'd softened up. What sent it spiraling or should have was the Nikki/Mariah debacle. What a train wreck. I think AI thought those two's hate for one another would get more viewers. I nearly quit watching that season. I ff'd through a lot of it that season. I don't ever want to see either of those two doing anything again, separate or together.
