I have heard Simon will be back, but Sharon is also going.... so who could replace her... A certain lassies with an ex girl band might make a return. I think Sharon should stay really.

The thing is with shows like X Factor fortunes can change from one year to the next, depending on casting, judging panel etc.
Well it's final night, the show has really limped its way to this date. I'd imagine there will be budget cuts to next year's run based on the declining ratings.

And ultimately it's the talent that carries the show. In a year like this with fairly poor talent it doesn't really matter who is on the judging panel, and similarly in a year with strong talent.
I doubt it considering ITV have signed a three year deal for X Factor and BGT worth more than the last one - reportdly just short of £150m compared to £100m for the last one. The jump is a surprise it's fair to say, but I'm amazed how cheap ITV got the previous deal off the hugely successful 2010 series - £33m a year is about half of what C4 were paying for Big Brother at it's peak.

An yet ITV were right about the current price, since Simon has been away for the past three series.

Well it's not for you to say unless you've looked into finances.

These figures are thrown around but who knows, and any big contracts like this will have targets to hit. The deal signed in 2010 was reportedly £100m plus talent fees which could have easily been another £40m.

Well thanks for that meaningful contribution to the discussion.
It's a lot of rubbish I am glad I don't watch this.
