- Drop Steve for sure and replace him with Dermot [but only if we get to keep him as well, sure he could do both as he doesn't have to mentor anyone]
- Replace Nicole with Cheryl as she worked much better, but as that'll never happen...anyone else, just so long as Nicole goes
- Live shows need to be ten weeks long like the UK show
- Drop the silly and odd elimination structure that changes from week to week where often they announce a few acts safe in part one

I'd also suggest cutting the audition shows...four hours over two nights for two weeks is excessive, it probably works out the same amount as the UK auditions but it's spread out better [although the UK audition show structure needs to be altered also], but I assume American's are used to and like this particular aspect, so maybe not.
