"The X Factor" Press Conference, CBS Television City, Los Angeles, CA. Dec. 19, 2011

*As the US version of The X Factor approaches its first season finale this week, rumors continue to swirl around judge Nicole Scherzinger.

The original Pussycat Doll, who served as a co-host for UKs X Factor last year alongside Steve Jones, was brought in to replace original judge Cheryl Cole after US auditions had already gotten underway.

She seemed to fit in nicely with fellow judges LA Reid, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell, and was well received by the boisterous weekly audience that is until the Rachel Crow incident, when her decision to send the child home put the deadlocked vote in Americas hands and America sent her packing.

Adding insult to injury, there were rumors earlier this month that executive producer Cowell will swap Scherzinger with UK judge Kelly Rowland for season two.

When we spoke with Scherzinger earlier this season before the array of drama that was to come the singer said her experience with the UK and US X Factor shows had already taken a toll on her emotions and even taught her a few things about herself.
