Which Idol Judges Will Be Back Next Season?

Simon Cowell has confirmed that all four Idol judges will return next season.
"I think certainly next year everyone's going to be back," he told Ellen DeGeneres during a pre-taped Tuesday appearance on her show ("Yeah, absolutely," he added.)

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Not surprised to see everyone returning.

Every professional sports team reports that "everyone will be back" ... until the off season with trades, cuts and retirements.

The four judges just take too much time.

Paula will be gone (contract is up). Simon will leave. Kara may replace the criticism he offered in the past.

I thought Simon had another year on his contract.

Paula's ends this year, Simon's next year as far as I know. If they want Idol to continue, they will need to infuse some new life into it. The first will be to get new judges. The next will be to involve the judges in the final stages by giving them part of the vote like other such contests have successfully done.
