I doubt Simon will want to sack Sharon because she is a loose cannon and the one that most publicity revolves around. I can't think of one recent story about from Sisi being booted out from Hope and the changes that doesn't involve Sharon in one way. The publicity drew in viewers and thats what X Factor thrives off. As long as Sharon is on the show, there will be publicity.

I doubt Sharon regrets who she put through because I don't think she had a winner there anyway. Her last girl would have got knocked out where Beverley or Hope did. The girls category is just a failure because girls don't usually vote for girls, and its mainly girls that vote.
