Tony Cowell

Inside the X Factor Premieres Saturday on Reelz

Our X Factor correspondent Tony Cowell is giving ReelzChannel a behind-the-scenes look at our favorite singing competition. Our exclusive look at The X Factor includes revealing interviews with creator and star Simon Cowell and lead choreographer Brian Friedman.

For "Inside the X Factor" Tony Cowell gets his younger brother Simon to talk candidly about fellow judges, the talent in the US and why he wanted hidden cameras on the set. The opinionated judge also discusses a recent conversation he had with Ryan Seacrest, and how L.A. Reid is the most competitive person he has ever known.

Cowell also offers answers to some of our most pressing X Factor questions such as: what did he mean when he compared Paula Abdul to a puppy? And what happened that made Simon say that Nicole Scherzinger could be crazier than Abdul? Though after seeing this week's elimination of Elaine Gibbs, we think we know the answer to that one.

Simon Cowell Exclusive X Factor Interview

Simon Cowell sits down to talk to his brother, Tony Cowell, about his new show The X Factor, and he's not afraid to share his opinion. He tells Tony which judge he considers the foundation of the panel, which is crazier than Paula Abdul, who needs Botox, and who is watching the ratings even closer than Cowell himself.

By far though, the best part of the clip is when, in classic Simon Cowell style, the host tries to say something nice and it ends up strangely mean and snarky. Somehow, when describing his excitement about being reunited with Paula, he ends up using a long-winded metaphor about a lost dog, and Abdul winds up being the metaphorical canine.
