I've noticed it, and I concur... it's probably in there by design. Perhaps it started once as a passing thing, but people responded to it, so they've added it.

As for Simon, I have to say (admitting that this is the first season I've really watched) that I think he's generally accurate. There's something *special* that you need to stand out, and often, it's just not there. No matter WHAT the booing audience thinks...

And Ryan... Idunno. Hadn't really paid much attention to him. I thought his job was to comfort all the girls after the mean judges got done with them... seems to always get his hands on them, he does...
