I don't know if it's just me, but there seems to be little buzz about XF this year beside Demi's return. I know there's been persistent stories about Cheryl but they've mainly been in the UK press, and even those haven't created that much attention as far as I've seen online.

Does anyone else think that the constant panel changes on both Idol and XF has perhaps hurt each show?

The actual first Cheryl return rumour came from the New York Post, which reported that Khloe was being dropped and Cheryl could possibly come back as part of a panel consisting of three females and Simon.
