AUSTRALIAN Idol evictee Sabrina Batshon has slammed the reality TV show for being fake and boring, claiming it needs new judges to survive.
In an exclusive blog with The Daily Telegraph, she said the show was "drowning" with its judges who are boring the viewers that have turned away.
She said she missed Kyle Sandilands, saying the show needs someone like him who does not play games, was witty and funny but did not overstep the boundaries.
Batshon also said the show was not a "one-way ticket to a music career", and she would not recommend anyone under 18 entering as they could get caught up in the fakeness of it all.
"People are getting really bored and the judges are under alot of pressure to give a good show and when you are just saying things to entertain people, people get bored. Dicko’s gotten away with murder, and Marcia’s very kind.
"JDee needs alot of time to warm up. But with JDee you need 2 stronger judges, and Marcia and Dicko are not as strong. I think Dicko has said a lot of things, he makes derogatory comments and i don’t know if the fans agree with that, his jokes are not funny. We;ve watched that year after year and it gets boring."
"JDee has had an awkward start, Marcia isn’t very social, Dicko was very playful and JDee was always very nervous.
"I think he does have a reputation for being a flirt, but everybody in showbiz is a flirt and it's a way to calm down your nerves as it’s a very strange environment. But no one has tried anything."
