Löwinger was replaced by former co-host Alfons Haider in the fourth season, and Haider switched roles with former co-host Klaus Eberhartinger in the fifth season. Nicole Hansen, Hannes Nedbal, and Thomas Schäfer-ElmayerIn were joined on the judging panel in season six by a series of guest judges, including Karina Sarkissova, who became a permanent judge beginning with the eleventh season.
