“If Simon thought LA Reid was a handful last year, just wait until the new judges arrive,” says the voice in the new X Factor 2012 promo.

It’s of course referring to Britney Spears and Demi Lovato, who are both ready to settle in next to Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid during the second season of the Fox singing reality show.

The promo also includes a shot of Simon saying “Oh F$#%,” bleeped of course. Yeah right, as if he’s regretting his move. He intentionally replaced two train wrecks (Nicole and Paula) with one (Britney) and randomly threw in Demi to appeal to a younger audience. I’m kind of over how phony this show comes off as being. But I’ll be tuned in when it premieres in September with the rest of you.
