"Jerry Springer hosts, while David Hasselhoff, Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne serve as judges."

Hell suddenly seems like an appealing alternative. At least Dannii Minogue (Kylie's far sexier sister) replacing Sharon Osbourne on The X Factor - the show that's Pop Idol in all but name - is a step upwards. Even though I still won't watch it (ever since Pushing Daisies ended my incentive to watch ITV1 has gone).
