Its not the motive of changing the judges that I'm on about, its more who they replace them with. They could get away with the same panel for another year or two and it would continue to do well but I'm not sure this full panel will be back, and my money is firmly on Kelly not coming back. If they do Next Generation again it just won't work, but if they brought back Cheryl, Dannii, Nicole or Sharon in place of Kelly or Tulisa then it would have a fighting chance of rebounding next year. ITV should just put their money where their mouth is and get Cheryl & Dannii back. SCD has survived longer than X Factor with only one judge being replaced and thats stronger than ever. No reason why X Factor couldn't be the same.
