How do you rate Simon Cowell on the X Factor?

People are always going on about how crap Danni Minogue and Louis Walsh are on the X Factor but the truth is I think Danni takes her role very seriously whereas Simon would rather put a contestant through if he thinks the public will like them rather than because they may have any talent. I mean just look at Eoghan Quigg for goodness sake. How on earth did he get through to the next round when there were other singers who were so much better than him? Also do you remember when he said he would put Gareth Gates' sister through just because her brother was Gareth Gates, not because she had a good voice. Luckily one of the other judges stepped in and made him see sense. The man is all about money and ratings and has no interest whatsoever in real talent.
