So your understanding is that FOX is more than willing to air the show without him, but Simon doesn't want it to air in the US regardless?

Fox cancelled the show with or without him. Simon got to make his "return to UK" announcement before they announced the cancellation to save face.

Gotcha. An egotistical man like simon cant handle any degree of "failure". Sucks that FOX canceled it. Americans prefer idol because it's what they're used to

And it's a better format. Half of what I saw on UK seemed centered around tabloid fights between judges. As last season of Idol showed, we don't want that.

The show was too loud and Simon really never understood the American TV market- he was never a producer here, after all.

just because. Ricky martin to be a judge on La Banda. which happens to be a show by Simon Cowell for Univision.

basically a band search show.

Will Simon ever come back to the US?

He's too arrogant to return to Idol, and too expensive for any network to give X-Factor another crack stateside.

So, in all likelihood...no.
