From Anton's Metro column

I wasn’t going to let anyone suggest or insinuate that I am fake and unreal and that I am acting for the cameras. You can’t act for those cameras, they are on you 24/7. There is no acting, there is no getting away from them so I did take offence.

The other judges are different because they understood.

At least Simon has developed hundreds of acts through the show and Cheryl is a singer and performer, and of course Rita is the same.

And they didn’t say those things because they know what it takes to stand on that stage. It’s okay to play music on the radio and know lots of pop stars but actually standing there, until you do that… stop talking about it and do it and let me sit where you are and I’ll judge you.

I am not going to allow anyone to bully me.

yeah I don't want to see Grimmy return next year.

Get Louie or Sharon Osbourne.

And I loved Jess Glyne to replace Rita.

Louie,Sharon or Danni can replace Nick actually, Simon would be stupid not to axe Nick. He is awful and useless. Rita for me has been the best judge this year.

Yeah that would be good!

I'd prefer Rita to stay but I know that Cheryl won't go away.

Cheryl definitely needs a break from the show.

[LukeB]

Yep Nick has been terrible as expected, it's only him I want axed.. never thought I would say this but Louis needs to come back. I do think Nick is trying to be Louis as well to please the public.

[Liam-]

Nick is the second best male judge they've had, apart from him calling Anton fake, he's been surprisingly great, keep him, get rid of Cheryl and bring Dannii back and the panel will be perfect.

[Jack_]

Louis desperately needs to come back next year. Cheryl's expendable to me and I'd rather swap her for Sharon again but she'll be staying no doubt.

Louis and Dermot back and the show is saved. I think the former is almost a given, but hopefully Simon works overtime to try and convince Dermot to return.

That's not technically true. There are plenty of people who work in speech radio who have no reason to have any extensive musical knowledge and as such don't, and indeed, those who work in music radio but don't host a specialist show and have no control over the stuff they play because it's all from the playlist don't really need that much knowledge either. Radio for the most part is about the links between songs, not the music itself (unless that's what the show is about).

However this doesn't apply to Grimmy as he used to host a specialist show. It's not his lack of/abundance of musical knowledge I care about, it's the fact he has been completely uninteresting as a judge. He's just 'meh'. Considering he replaced one of, if not the most iconic X Factor judge there has been just because Simon thought he'd pull in younger viewers (which he's failed to do), he's been spectacularly bad. Judges on this show need to be one thing, and that's entertaining. That's what this show is about. It doesn't matter how much knowledge or how equipped you are to judge talent, so long as you're entertaining as a judge that's all that matters. And Grimmy isn't.

I actually really liked her! I enjoyed last year's series much more than I'm currently enjoying this one.

Same.

I'm indef tbh because I feel the acts are so much better this year than last years, everyone was meh/boring/no star quality a part from Fleur as she had the whole package. The judges last years were awful, The judges this year seem more happy/better

[Ross.]

Apart from some annoying comments at Fleur, I thought she was a pretty decent judge

Bitter bitter sore loser. Delighted he is gone. I am not a huge fan of Nick but he is entitled to his opinion and he was commenting on the emotive element of the song etc rather than the VOCAL Anton can crawl back under whatever rock he came out from

[zakman440]

Nick obviously isn't returning next year - the ratings have gone backwards since his appointment and Simon will be quick to blame him for the decline. Simon will probably bring back Louis (which wouldn't be a bad thing) and may keep Rita, though it wouldn't surprise me if she goes as well. He'll either drop Caroline as co-host (similar to Khloe Kardashian on the US version) which will be a shame to see or try his best to bring back Dermot. Either way, big changes will be made yet again next year with at least one judge losing a chair for Louis.

[Dominic]

He died?

I can see Olly being axed instead of Caroline, she'd be far better on her own and she's a lot more professional imo. I've not noticed any mistakes from her in the live shows, she seems more focused and on point presenting live.

Olly needs to present something smaller and he needs to focus on improving, presenting just isn't for him.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Nick and his pathetic crush on the dead behind the eyes mason and his bitchy attack on anton have let him down. Nick has no discernible talent so will always be untrusted.
