No question about it, the first episode was great and Mrs O was a positiv surprise to me. But I'm still annoying of Nicole. I can't get her. She is such a diva. Her immitation of Britney,... was such a fail.

So I really miss Rita and Cheryl. It would be great, if someone of them were on the panel instead of Nicole.

So am I the only one who miss those ladies?

I don't. At all.

Yes, you're the only one.

i miss rita but not cheryl

Nope. Nicole is a little contrived sometimes which can be irritating, but she's mostly fun. Rita brought very little to the show and Chezza seemed vacant and uninterested last time out. Nicole's Britney was pretty funny I thought.

I really do not miss either of them. Rita was kind of a non-entity for me on the show, whilst Cheryl has become beyond stale. Rita was better on The Voice for sure.

I miss Cheryl not Rita. Nicole and Cheryl on the same panel would be ideal for me, though I can't ever see that happening.

Miss Cheryl but not rita Rita was too young

No, you're not alone at all. I thought last year's panel was phenomenal, and I would have been so excited to see Cheryl and Rita back again this year, perhaps with Louis Tomlinson or MIKA joining on as the fourth judge, or even Nick Grimshaw for a second year.

While I do like Nicole (bonus points that she's American) I can't say I'm overjoyed to see Mrs. O or Louis back on the panel.

This ^^

This panel is far superior!

I don't miss em

Both were a disaster for the show.

Hated Cheryl, Rita was okay, but I don't miss either of them. I much prefer Nicole.

Agreed.

Probably not OP but, speaking for myself I really like this panel.

Rita: I missed her on TV but, didn't rate her at all on TXF.

Cheryl: I've never really liked her and didn't understand all the hype, especially after hearing her "sing" with Gary Barlow at the Jubilee concert..

Rita was ok on the voice but seemed to have lost a few braincells by thr time she rocked up on x factor.

BIB, Underlined & Italics: God that was abysmal, truly abysmal.

Exactly. Nicole singing a very difficult song in tonight's show reminded me of how bad Cheryl's voice is and yet she still had the nerve to tell people that they couldn't sing.

I don't miss them one bit.

Cheryl and her fake hair and fake teeth and her annoying simpering grate on me, and when she dislikes someone, the chav in her comes out, and she lets them know she dislikes them..,

As for Rita: I had forgotten she was there last year til I saw this thread!

And Nicole's impression of Britney was brilliant!

Yeah, the absolute nerve! I'm sure everyone that posts on here has a glorious voice.

You don't have to have a talent to recognise talent. Just ask Simon Cowell.

On topic, I love this panel. They all get on well, it should be fun.

I miss Rita but miss Tulisa far more than Cheryl

I like Tulisa, she was great in her first series but lost interest in the 2nd series.

The perfect example being Raign, did she hate her

I would prefer Cheryl to Mrs O

I love Cheryl on the show so I'll always miss her when she's not on the panel! I do love Sharon & Nicole aswell. But it's annoying me that Sharon was missing for most of the time from this weekends episodes! I hope she's featured more over the next auditions as she always makes me laugh!
