A Completely Judgmental Ranking of TV Talent Shows by Their Judges’ Panels – A talent show is only as strong as its judges. Not only do these opinionated, discerning panel members appear frequently, they also often select the contestants who get to compete on the program and directly or indirectly determine the competition’s very outcome. They’re important! But how to judge which reality show judges best? We examined the groups of personalities that have presided over four of TV’s biggest talent competitions and scored each based on four factors: chemistry (i.e., whether they interact with each other in an entertaining way), conflicting viewpoints (it’s important to have a nice mix of assessments!), résumé (do we even respect their various opinions?), and realness (do they genuinely seem to give a shit?). American Idol, America’s Got Talent, The X Factor, and The Voice, show us what you got. – Vulture
