But you can't top Louis, he's just...lovable, in an annoying way.

It didn't work because they put Brian in as his replacement, who is so dull it's unreal. Louis is completely disposable, his only purpose is to irritate the other judges and be lumped with the crap category every year. I've never liked Louis all that much, but this year I just don't hate him as much because Gary and Kelly are worse.
