P-Factor
Trouble in Paradise
The P-Factor is Piñata Island's very own talent show and beauty pageant. Four piñatas are assessed for style, beauty, quality, value and a whole host of other categories to decide which piñata has the P-Factor.
The winner of the P-Factor is decided by a panel of five judges. Each of the four contestants gets to choose one judge they want on the panel; the last judge is chosen randomly. Each judge has different likes and dislikes, so choosing a judge that will favor your piñata over the others is the key to winning the contest.
There are 35 total judges to choose from, some of them well-known faces around Piñata Island, others not so well-known. Note that in any given contest, some of the possible judges may be contestants instead, so you will not be able to choose them from the list.
The judges are listed below in the order they are displayed in-game.

| Storkos | Prefers Pinatas that can fly. | ??? |

| Bart | Prefers pinatas that are evolutions of other species. | ??? |

| Willy Builder | ??? | ??? |
| Dastardos | Prefers piñatas which have not been ill. | Oh my, oh my, fresh candy! Now, which of these have I not seen before? Even I get sick of hypochondriac Piñatas tempting me over and over again. |
