I keep seeing both these names being mentioned as returning next year.

Problems would be - the US version is filmed at the same time as the UK one and Simon is in the States.

Cheryl is suing the US version and hates Simon/pretty much everyone involved with the X-Factor.

These are not simple problems, to me they are complete game breakers. Why do these two names keep getting brought up then ? They are both massive long shots compared to who will probably be cast.

What happens next year was hyped to bring attention to this years X Factor and boost viewing figures. Next year whoever ends up on the Panel won't worry me, as I won't be watching other than the odd dip in / channel hop. I won't be missed in the further millions to drift off.

Simon is a far bigger hurdle than Cheryl. They'd need to start a bit later for him to do it (auditions, bootcamp, judges houses airing from November then go live in January).

The legal thing is a bit of a wildcard but Cheryl and Simon seem to be getting over what happened. She did judges houses. They've both confirmed that they're in touch (not as much as they used to be of course) including a very recent meeting at his home in LA. And despite a falling out last year, Simon and Will.i.am (her manager) are now working on a television project together. Coincidentally, they had dinner not long before Cheryl was confirmed as a guest at judges houses.

I'd not be remotely surprised if there's a settlement next year that involves Cheryl being back on the UK show.

With the GA tour being next year I just don't see it happening. It wouldn't surprise me if Sharon showed up somewhere though.
