Oh come on, Cheryl's hardly ~raw~ and ~real~ is she, I don't dislike her but she's a bit of a personality vacuum. That panel may be good for nostalgia, but that doesn't make it the most entertaining mix of personalities. The current one is the best, followed by 2013's (which is one of the worst series, proving the panel is distinct from everything else), and then the golden era's is probably third

Dannii's better than Cheryl but in much the same vein I don't remember any standout moments of her time as a judge? She was a good mentor but that's not important to me

I'd rank the female judges like this:

Sharon
Nicole
Mel
Alexandra (I'm not joking, okaydotcomthankyou is more iconic than the rest of this list)
Kelly
Tulisa
Dannii
Cheryl
Rita

Put Rita above Cheryl and I completely agree

I love Rita more than almost all of them, but I remember literally nothing of her time as a judge (I try to block that series out of my head tbh). At least Cheryl's (still) ongoing feud with Louis was low-key amusing

Ugh, you have wonderful x factor judging panel opinions.

I dont remember rita either lol, thats why shes better than cheryl, I dont remember being constantly frustrated when she appeared onscreen, so she nips it.
