Was quite cruel instead of just selecting 6 after all have performed.

I suppose that's a bit like the Voice where they choose an act to fill up a limited amount of spaces before actually hearing everyone.

Aargh, I hope this mixed grouping thing is just a rumor. The categories make it more of a competition and is what distinguishes the show from others like The Voice.

[Sophiee]

I actually really like this idea, it makes it fairer since nobody can complain about a certain judge being awarding the 'best' or 'worst' category but I don't see how judges houses will work.

[Shaun]

can just see the judges all shafting the overs if the groups were mixed.

[Me. I Am Salman]

what a pointless idea
it literally doesn't affect the entertainment value of the show whatsoever.

LMFAO rapper Redfoo has been linked to The X Factor 2014 judging line up.


So far only Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell have been confirmed for the show, which will begin filming in the summer.

Louis Walsh is widely expected to take up a third spot leaving a big question mark over who will be the fourth judge.

While Olly Murs, Rita Ora and Robbie Williams have all been rumoured, all three are also apparently struggling to agree to a deal with hectic schedules.

According to The Sun newspaper, LMFAO’s Redfood is a “possible contender” for a seat on the judging panel after impressing on the Aussie version of the show recently.



A show source told the tabloid this morning: “Simon wanted to wait until Cheryl was 100 per cent confirmed first, so they could talk. Both of them like how edgy and cool Redfoo is. He makes great telly.”

Cheryl said earlier this week she wanted a “strong woman” beside her on the show, hitting back at reports suggested she wanted to be the only female judge.

“There are people I’d love to join the panel. Definitely a strong woman,” the 3 Words singer insisted. “I’m kind of hoping I don’t have to deal with three guys because otherwise I’ll have no hair — I’ll be pulling it out all the time!”

also Fergie (of Black Eyed Peas fame) is rumoured to be the 'strong female' next to cheryl - makes sense as cheryl toured with BEP In 2010

[Pete.]

Despite Cheryl Cole's insistence that he won't be on the panel Louis Walsh is adamant that he will be returning along with Sharon Osbourne.

Also Sinitta has been fiercely rumoured to be part of panel this year along with Olly Murs and Shayne Ward for some reason

[Vanessa]

Sharon and Louis are the best judges.
