The Fox reality show returns tonight after producers had a "good postmortem" on what worked and what didn't in the successful Season 1. So this season will focus on building narrative arcs for each contestant throughout the season and building the rapport among Nick Cannon and the four judges Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke, says Fox alternative-programming chief Rob Wade. “I think the judges themselves and Nick become more of an ensemble. If you look at the first season, we were sticking five people in a room together who didn’t know each other,” says Wade. “To create a chemistry is very difficult from the word go. Now they are thick as thieves, if you watch the first couple shows you’re going to notice how naturally that ensemble acts together now, it’s a natural improvement in the show.”
