- SIMON COWELL. Could it be anyone else? The man behind The X Factor is really the man who keeps the show going. Sure, The X Factor survived without Cowell, but it never really thrived - and the sense of relief among fans when he chose to return was palpable.
- LOUIS WALSH. YEAH, WE WENT THERE. People might moan about Louis Walsh, and sure, on the face of it he's everything you'd think would be bad about The X Factor - he begs for votes, he has stock catchphrases which he recycles over and over, and he has a penchant for novelty acts (in all his time on the show, he's only won once, with Shayne Ward back in series two).
- DANNII MINOGUE. Do you know what's difficult? Pleasing X Factor viewers. And do you know who has managed to do that consistently? Dannii Minogue. Dannii is probably the judge that fans want back the most, because she was brilliant at it - kind and sweet, sure, but also honest when she needed to be.
- NICOLE SCHERZINGER. If there's one returning judge that has got people excited about the new series, it's probably Nicole Scherzinger. When she first joined as a guest judge she got the credit for putting together One Direction; when she returned full-time, she was glorious.
Elimination stages and Final. Louis Walsh, longest-serving judge on The X Factor in all but two series. Sharon Osbourne, a judge for the first four series, and then again in 2013, and 2016–17. Dermot O'Leary served the longest as the programme's host from 2007, with a one-year break in 2015.

Aug 28, 2016 · Learn about the different X Factor judges over the years, from Simon Cowell to Mel B, and their achievements and controversies. Find out who mentored the winners, the losers and the stars of the show.
Unlike Idols, where the judges only critique the contestants' performances, on The X Factor each judge "mentors" the finalists in a particular category, aiding them with song selection and styling, while also participating together in judging the contestants in the other categories.
