I have always noticed that Simon gets the biggest reception from the audience when the judges are announced at the beginning of the show. I wish Randy wouldn't "boo" him though. I think it encourages the audience to be even ruder when Simon criticizes a singer.
As far as Simon's behavior goes - think about it - This show is his baby and he has invested a LOT of time coming up with the final contestants. When someone doesn't perform up to the standards he has set (now this is out of thousands of people they could have chosen) it makes him angry. I don't blame him for being disgusted sometimes. Ad don't they have coaches working with them all week long. Do they not listen to the coaches when they choose their songs?
