Am I the only one who can see it going back to 3- Simon, Cheryl and Louis?
Especially with rumours they want to do the whole each judge gets one act from each category thing. They may get rid of the Overs and just have 4 of each in Boys, Girls and Groups

    Nope, there will be a fourth judge this year.

    IMO It would be stupid to eliminate a category as then you are eliminating talent so the more talent that gets to the live shows the better!

    Or three judges, each with a Girl, Boy, Group/Band and an Over?

    Though that might be too confusing, remembering who belongs to who ;-)

    In all honesty, I think it would work better with just three judges. From when Dannii was off, I remember Louis, Cheryl and Simon worked really well as a trio. I'd love it :)

    However, I know their will be a fourth judge, I'm almost sure of it. Simon loves all the hype surrounding his judges, so I can't see him cutting down to just three.

    Simon & Cheryl have already talked about the fourth judge, if it ever goes to 3 it won't be this year

    Simon has said on at least two occasions now they are considering going for an unknown judge, ie producer/songwriter/manager/label head etc, which I personally wouldn't mind.

    I hope they don't do that with the categories, it's too much like the voice. I think it actually adds to the competitiveness when there's a bit of boys vs girls etc.

    And anyway if they got rid of the overs category they probably wouldn't pick anyone over the age of 20 since they seem to love the teenagers.

    I think you're right. Simons reply on the forth judge is that he wants Louis back. And this new format wouldn't need more than three. Might be Will.I.am since he was spotted with Simon.

    Just 3 judges wont work. They would probably have to axe a category, which will annoy a lot of viewers.

    Does this mean Louis is definitely back - or is it about something else that I don't know about :confused:

    According to mirror, Simon is looking for a forth judge. A singer.

    It wouldn't surprise me if there isn't a fourth judge.
    It's Simon, Cheryl and Louis and the categories are no longer Overs, Groups etc, and they ALL mentor an over, group, boy and girl.

    They should get Rochelle Humes, she'd be great!
