Paula Abdul coached Nicole Scherzinger to vote off Rachel Crow on The X Factor - Video

TMZ has the video of Paula Abdul telling Nicole Scherzinger to "let it go to deadlock" during last week's shocking results on The X Factor. I find this so uncanny because at that moment I was also screaming on Twitter: "Go Nicole! Send it to deadlock! MAKE IT HAPPEN!" LOL!

Just more evidence that Nicole is the most idiotic judge ever on Reality TV. You can argue that Paula set her up (and the show for that matter) but Nicole was dumb enough to take the bait -- and crush the dreams of a 13-year-old in front of millions on live TV. She's the most vile judge ever. Watch the video here:
