Cheryl surprised me this year as I was never a fan of her between 2008-2010 and she doesn't have much singing ability.

But apart from the major fashion disasters and the Raign incident, I think Cheryl has been a good judge this year, good criticism and constructive advice. She's done okay with mentoring Lauren too. Hope she returns next year!

She's better than Mel and Louis combined too.

No thanks. Bland, boring. She's no Scherzy.

No. I'd like a fresh panel apart from Simon. She isn't the big star she was (see recent sales figures).

No thanks, she is so boring, she's got the personality of a wet rag

No thank you. She was terrible, boring and heavily overrated by the production team.

She dissed Kerianne, I hope she never returns

Can not say i liked her this year, on a side note anyone find her make up around the eyes distracting this year it to me looked like a little to much reflection stuff to hide dark circles and bags had been used and white stripes under her eyes

Looks like I'm in the minority haha. Maybe I liked her this because I thought Mel and Louis were awful. I'd rather a fresh judge but I would still like it if Cheryl stayed.

I thought Cheryl coming back would be a revelation and would help the show claw it's way out of the dirt it's been in for the past few years. I was wrong. All she's been this year is a spoilt little brat who's thrown her dummy out of the pram every time she hasn't got her own way. Hope she never comes back

Definitely!

She didnt seem that passionate or into it this year. I think she enjoyed mentoring Lauren when she was left with just her though. Seem to become friends

I actually thought she was better than I expected her to be , altho that wouldn't have been hard as my expectations were pretty close to zero, she at least tried to stand up to cowell at times and didn't just resort to meaningless clichés 100% of the time like Louis does

I think this year it became so apparent that the judges don't actually choose the songs, style the contestants or have any real say in who goes or stays in the competition, that even the judges lost interest in their role by the end of the show.

I'd rather she didn't as she personifies style over substance. All those number 1s despite being unable to sing in tune. Mel B on the other hand can sing but isn't likeable.

Bring back Nicole!

No, she looks like she is only there to promote what she calls her music. She has been sulking, rude and up her own backside. Several times when the camera has panned out while someone is performing she was taking to Simon, that is disrespectful.

No, they should get rid of them all apart from Mel B who I thought was good. They shouldn't bring back Nicole or Tulisa either.

I thought she had improved but I doubt she will be back. She didn't cause ratings to rise and Cowell has obviously fallen out of love with her otherwise he wouldn't have ensured her last remaining act failed to make the final in the sing off.

Simons not going anywhere, so yes a totally new panel with him.

I do

If you calculate all the judges scores over the years, Cheryl has actually done best

I will admit though I much preferred her 2008-2010 stint than her 2014 one, she was quite bitchy at the start of this year, but she did get better towards the end

The Nations Sweetheart/ our Pop Princess has returned to her rightful throne.

Long may the beautiful one reign.

I don't dislike her but tbh, I'm not fussed either way if she's back next year or not. Unlike Mel, she didn't seem that passionate about her acts and is dull personality-wise in comparison, imo.

I actually like Cheryl but I don't want her back if she's not enthusiastic about being there. For a lot of people The X Factor is a dream job. If she shows the amount of enthusiasm she had in 2008/09 then I'm all for her returning because she's a good judge, but if her heart isn't really in it then I say find someone else.

I'm not really a fan of Mel or Louis so I don't want them returning.

I like her better away from the panel, so no.

Mel is great, I think Sara Cox should try a series.

I would like Simon, Cheryl and Mel back. THey just need to replace Louis.

I dont like cheryl and the fact that when the show id over she deletes all her acts number and never speaks to them again is a disgrace
