    Ronan, Nat and now Foo has quit the show. Dannii is the only judge left now. She loves the show but are they in trouble?
    No dates, no venues, no judges and its May now.

    No. I do not think so. The Show apparently won't air until later this year, according to the article below, so there is plenty of time for the show to find new judges.:)

    I would like Guy to return with Natalie Imbruglia, or Jessica Mauboy.:)

    Yeah it was just a suggestion, I would like someone with experience with bands and good chart performance in the last 10-15 years now that Ronan and Nat are gone. Though it looks like Nat is going win XF NZ with her boys.

    It seems like they are just trying to make news, it is highly unlikely that Ronan will be coming back.

    Took her five seasons. Yikes:o

    Imbruglia is doing music now with possible a tour and most likely more acting. Jess is the same and has already a confirmed tour coming.

    The problem isnt just judges. Theres no one with a hit song atm, Sammi is doing acting, Taylor is concentrating on the next step. No one from last year created a buzz.

    I agree its not great but tbf she should have won last year with Dean.

    I'm sure they will be able to find a couple of decent judges I'm sure it won't be someone like Rihanna but I'm sure they will manage to find artists with reasonable career. I'm pretty sure XF got pushed back last year due to Ronan.

    Latest judging panel rumour is:

    Dannii Minogue, Guy Sebastian, Chris Isaak, James Blunt.

    http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2015/05/rumour-x-factor-judges-dannii-guy-sebastian-chris-isaak-james-blunt.html

    Interesting. It wouldn't be a boring lineup, i'll say that.

    Interesting. If the lineup is true, then It looks like the show could be going down The Voice route, with one female judge. I would be happy with Guy and James. I am not familiar with Chris though, to be honest. I will need to look him up on youtube.:)

    Don't like how Dannii is the only female. She'll no doubt think she's even more important than usual - and she is far too far up herself already.

    I am pleased with the panel. Thanks for the article. Glad to see Guy back. He was a good judge and mentor. A lot better than Redfoo and Nat put together. Looking forward to seeing James and Chris on the panel and see how they do.:)

    Consider shes has won on two different shows, she is important and should have her head up. She lives and breathes XF, which is important for the show. Shes like an ambassador.

    I think she's disgusting. On X Factor in one country she made jokes about a contestants sexuality and pushed the rumours about that contestant further by doing so - whilst shagging another judge. On another she basically called a woman a slag on the TV because she was wearing something that showed her shoulders. She's a horrible woman full of her own self-importance and, as Graham Norton quite rightfully said, has had so much work done on her face she looks like a spoon. It's sad they can't get work done on their personalities.

    Meh, rather dull line-up to be honest. James Blunt or Chris Isaak yes, both? no

    I'm actually quite happy about the inclusion of James Blunt, he actually has quite an amusing personality and has been known to come out with good and quick jokes to people on his twitter so hoping he can do it on XF too.

    What a tragically disappointing line-up. I did like Guy so yay, hopefully Dannii is back to her peak as she was AWFUL year. James Blunt and Chris Isaak though, lolno.

    So so happy about Guy and James Blunt. I love James Blunt! I've never heard of Chris Isaak before, who is he??

    I wish there was another female though, I thought Nat and Dannii brought a lot of spark last year.

    I wasn't familiar with Chris Issak, but apparently he does acting and is an American rock musician. Think this guy is going to be the Tom Jones of the panel. The older, respected judge on the panel. He seems like an excellent signing for Aussie X Factor. To be honest, the show is lucky to get this artist.:) Both James and Chris seem like huge signings for Aussie X Factor.

    Thank you, I think he was a bit before my generation :D

    It's just sunk in how much I am going to miss Ronan :cry: But I am fairly happy with this new panel, I just wish there was someone with experience of bands.

    I did not agree with everything Ronan said, but he was a good judge and mentor. At least he went out on a high, after his contestant won. He had mentored two contestants to the win, so may have thought it was time to step down?

    James has tweeted about his joy on being deported 😂
    Dannii and Guy were part of a doc about Oz on 7 so he wasnt a surprise, I guess James isnt either. He was hilarious with Dannii in JH. But Chris is a surprise. A completely new TV face I think.

    I am wondering that too. Isn't the host normally announced before the judges?:confused:

    It has previously been rumoured he was to be sacked and if he was confirmed to be staying surely they would have mentioned it in the judges press release. Maybe he is and they just didnt feel obliged to mention it
