I wonder if the higher ups on American Idol are planning to replace Paula with Kara, instead of having four judges. I get a sense that that is what they are doing, because they are surely trying their best to show Kara as much as they can, and talk about her as much as they can too. Maybe that's just because they want people to like her as a fourth judge, but maybe there is more to it than just that behind the scenes. I've been thinking that Paula was going to be replaced for a while now after that hiccup that she made last year about Jason Castro singing two songs when he didn't. She is just in her own little world, and her actions used to make the show funny, but not anymore. Plus, whenever she teamed up with Simon about that guy who so-say "threatened" them, I just found her to be very rude then. Yeah, Simon was rude too, but that's what makes Simon, Simon. You expect Simon to be that way, but when Paula did it, it was weird and it wasn't cool. So far this season she looked like she didn't want to be there at the auditions, and whenever she teamed up with Simon, it made her look like a person with an 'I'm all that and a bag of chips' attitude. Maybe they will keep Paula, but in my opinion, Kara is better, and would be a better third judge.
