Paula

Could this woman be more annoying? I don't think she's ever formulated an opinion on her own. If Randy says Yes, then low and behold, Paula follows with a Yes. If Simon says yes, holy shit, Paula says yes. Now, if Randy says Yes and Simon gets a No out before Paula can agree with Randy, we're in big trouble. The woman will put her head down and freak out. Make up your own mind, for all of our sakes. My sake is hurting, Paula!

But you know, being the kind hearted lady Paula likes to think she is, she will pretty much always say Yes in the early rounds, and send the poor young chap to Hollywood. "I think you're great, so and so," she will say. Do you, Paula? Do you even know where you are? This, of course serves only to postpone any decisionmaking until the answer is unanimously (Randy and Simon) a No.

The most odd and annoying aspect of this botoxed plastic figurehead is revealed when the final decisions are being made for the contestants participation in the nationally-voted-on portion of the show. All of a sudden, Paula thinks it's talking time. She becomes more chatty than Six from "Blossom"

When the contestant is a sure thing, Paula likes to talk and talk and talk about absolutely nothing, leaving the hopeful star mulling over themselves until they can no longer take it. "You're torturing the girl. Just tell her the decision, Pohla," Simon will protest. The persistence to say absolutely nothing verges on brilliance. Honestly, if she was trying intentionally to be annoying, she'd be a master. Unfortunately, I think she just has no idea what is going on. Often, I find myself wondering how high she must be. What mixture of mind numbing medicine is making this woman so dumb? Just quit, Paula. You're annoying all of us.
