She wasn't so bad during her first stint, but this year and last I've found her so cold, up herself and false. Her forced "bickering" with Simon is cringey to watch. She clearly doesn't give a damn about any of the acts and ultimately she's far too talentless to justifiably be judging talent.
Cheryl. Is it just me or is she so unlikeable?

I liked her when she first started judging but she doesn't feel natural anymore. All her reactions throughout the audition process seemed fake and prearranged. Sadly, it feels to me like she's 'sold her soul' for the money.
Oh gawd I cant stand her , she is coming across awful with that dentist drill type of voice. She is one of the main reasons for the X Factor demise. The other being to many singers doing rap type songs . But for me Cheryl Cole is the major reason for the switch of.

Wrong.
Yes. Just like every person who starts a topic with "Is it just me, but am I the only one who thinks <obviously relatively popular opinion>". It is in fact, just you, and you should feel special for it.
On topic, I don't know. I'm pretty apathetic about Cheryl. She's just kind of there. I wouldn't describe her as dislikable anyway. She's fine.

No that was Nick
Nah she's cracking our Cheryl! I think she's hilarious - would love to have a mate like her! She is honest and she is funny when she's lairy to Simon.
She tries to sound intelligent but doesn't understand the words she is using.she is quite uneducated I think
She didnt do a bit well at school ,leaving with a few GCSE's all of which were low grades and no A levels. So she isnt the smartest spanner in the box, but she used her great body and sexuality to its max to make up.I also suppose from reading about the guy who took her virginity she was a great shag.

This 100%
If you go back (well, actually don't
) and re-watch every audition from this year where Uptown Funk! was performed, it seemed like every one of those performances had a close up of Cheryl trying to look cool and mouthing the words "hot damn".Was this used specifically to imply that Cheryl is hot...DAMN!!! Or just is it all more egotistical crap that by showing Cheryl mouthing the words "hot damn" automatically makes her hot...DAMN!!! because the X Factor producers say so.
Cheryl looked far better in 2008. Look at clips of her natural beauty from then, compared to the gaunt looking Cheryl we see on our screens now. She is going to age terribly over the next 15-20 years if she isn't careful.
I think she too often comes across like a sulky teen being forced to work a 12 hour telesales shift than someone paid millions to pass comment for 10 seconds a time on people vastly more naturally talented than she is.
Really the job seems such a chore for her and she regularly seems miserable as sin doing it. I don't get the whole 'nation's sweetheart' thing, she's far too mardy and sour most of the time to qualify for that accolade.
Compare her with Rita who manages the whole 'agonising' thing without constantly having a face like a slapped arse.

Don't like her.
Every time she speaks/makes a comment I'm shouting at the tv to tell her to shut up!
Wish we had the option to vote on judges.

She's not as good as she was in 2008-2010 but better than she was last year
She was far more miserable/spiteful last year

She thinks Cowell now owes her a living for eternity because they network in America didn't want her on the US version. Anyone else would think "Oh well, I'm disappointed it didn't work out but I've a great time here doing the show and looking forward to my next album"
...noooo, not for the 'nations sweetheart' who I think embarked on a two-year sulk she's probably not fully got over.

She has definitely changed this year for the first time she looks and sounds like an older woman now.
The loss of weight unfortunately makes her look more stern and looks older

I think it's just you. I don't think I have ever heard anyone criticise Cheryl before. She seems universally adored.

Yep
She's definitely the 'mature' woman of the panel now

I don't like her
Peak Cheryl was the year with Alexandra, Diana and Laura.....I genuinely think she was heavily invested in all her girls then. Her relationship with Alexandra in particular was very sweet.
She's seemed detached from the process since.

Nope, definitely not just you. 
For me, she's one of those celebrities that you just want to go away and you hate everything they say and do (like a Kardashian.)
It was so tacky last year how catty she was towards Raign, is it really so hard to stay professional even if you don't like someone? The "can we get you anything else? a gin & tonic?" when Raign asked for a mic stand was ridiculous. There were some people this year who had one and no one said anything. Then she kept hassling Simon to swap Raign out of her seat during six chairs and when he finally relented, she stared her down as she left the stage. And don't get me started on her and Mel B's immaturity during Xtra Factor.
And yeah, she does try too hard to come across as cool. Remember "you took it to church girl!"? I still cringe thinking about that.

Do me a favour.
Can't stand her, thinking she's the dogs bollocks all the time. Didn't she mime when she performed live on the show? Then probably proceeded to slag off someone for not singing very well. She's a poor singer and got very lucky.
