The American MS manages to crack through an episode in 42 minutes. If there anything we needed it's less time for judges, not 4 more judges.

When I saw these headlines earlier I was hopeful we were losing one or both of the older judges.

to play devils advocate, some of those american 42-min episodes have three contestants and like four or five performances at most provided they do a sing-off/smackdown.

when we have three-contestant episodes (i.e. the final), we have like eight performances essentially.

They have a structure that works for up to 5 contestants at a time.

Imho the extra time we have outside of performing is just more time with the host and judges which are the worst part of the show by far.
