X Factor Axed in 2010?

[Patrick]

Dont know if this has already been posted today, I havent seen it on TiBB Though.
Was in the shop this morning and saw this on the front page..was pretty shocked so heres the full story..
I dont think Simon will actually axe it though:



X Factor supremo Simon Cowell has threatened to axe the popular ITV show unless the channel increases the budget by £3m, reports suggest.

Simon Cowell: ITV is said to spend about £1.7m each weekend on the show with Cowell reported to want another £300,000 spent on ten shows next series. Photo: REX FEATURES
During an X Factor final press conference in central London, the media mogul, 50, refused to confirm whether the show would return next year.

He admitted that no deal was in place yet.

Dannii Minogue says she will be judge on next year's show
ITV is said to spend about £1.7m each weekend on the show with Cowell reported to want another £300,000 spent on ten shows next series.

He wants more money to make next year’s show “even better”.

The newspaper also reported that he was considering staging next year's final at a venue like the 02 in London or Wembley Arena.

Cowell, who is said to have been paid £7.5, admitted: “We’re negotiating with the network and it's not about salaries for the people on it - it's how much money are you going to invest over a period of time.

"We always said we'd stop making the show when people don't want to see it.

"But it's been very successful because ITV have invested a lot into it to make it better.”

He added: "I think there is genuine interest from the people behind the show to bring it back - but if we do, it needs to be better than this year."

Cowell said changes to this year’s format, such as auditions in front of an audience and building a new £1million stage had brought higher ratings, proving that people wanted bigger and better shows.

no wayy.... this cant happenn!!:(:(
i HAVE TO auditiioon for it :( GUTTED :(
i love this show,, come on everyone get watching please:)

[Stephanie]

they will give him the money.

[Patrick]

come on everyone get watching please:)

Its nothing at all to do with the ratings, there very fine infact XF is one of the most watched shows in the UK on the Weekends.

Its just Simon thinking everyone loved the **** new audition format, so now he wants MORE and More to make it bigger and better which will eventually flop.

The sooner he stops trying to make the XF into BGT/AI the better!

[Tom4784]

It's not gonna get cancelled, ITV's gonna bow to his every demand. BGT and XF have had sky high ratings this year they wouldn't want to lose the viewer's share.

I hope youre right Dez. :dance:

[MissKittyFantastico]

Rubbish. He's just threatening axing the show to try and get more money from ITV that's all. They can't afford to lose a show with ratings that high.

He's just seeing how far he can push them with the budget.

It'll be back next year.

But like... :D
I just REALLY want this to live forever :D

[Tom]

£3m is nothing when you consider the show is making over £100m this year

And if Cowell does axe it, you can guarantee that Channel 4, five or Sky1 would pick it up even if it meant axing half their schedules

[JayManUnleashed]

SIMON... I WILL KILL YOU (literally) IF YOU AXE X FACTOR!

[Dom:)]

SIMON... I WILL KILL YOU (literally) IF YOU AXE X FACTOR!


Thisss

[Patrick]

Tbh I`d rather Big Brother than X Factor, even if XF is one of the greatest shows of all time :)

[Smithy]

x factor wont get axed he just wants a bit more publicity for the final (not that he needs it)
if people think its the last time it could be on tv theyl watch it

[Stacey.]

me too, but i really want to audition for the x factor,, also...
i think TheXFactor gives people a bigger and better chance of becoming more famous, and having a better career ahead of them.:D
Sorry,just me thinking in depth :D lmao

[*mazedsalv**]

Why would they axe it anyway? Only BGT has gotten higher ratings then XF... whats the point?

BGT actually bores me!!!

[Patrick]

BGT actually bores me!!!

Agree,
Its so annoying and is so messed up and doesnt deserve the ratings it gets.

Cant wait until it eventually flops.
Its so amature-ish

[CaraRawr]

****s sake simon.

[Harry!]

If it axed (which it wont) I wouldnt cry. I found this year one of the dullest years yet.

[alc09]

It won't get axed, not a chance.

I see the papers are claiming Dannii may be on her way for Mel B or Kelly Rowland, interesting too see how that one pans out.

[Beastie]

A load of bollocks! Of course it will be back next year!

[Fom]

Simon will get the money... it is Simon Cowell. They would never axe X Factor... not this soon.

I saw this on the front cover of paper as well. How stupid? Dannii is a great judge, she is the only judge that does not make the show about her, she makes it about the contestants. Just because she is more dignified than joining in the me me me drama's with simon, cheryl and louis!

Maybe Danni wants to leave and have a baby with Kris? Who knows? In a way it would be good if Stacey won, and if Danni leaves she will leave on a high but I want her to stay, I like the 4 judges we have already. Although I think Lily Allen and Charlotte Church would make great judges. Also Katie Price, however not sure if she has much music knowlege, possibly Lily and Charlotte would be better than her.

Also I read on a front cover of the daily star I think it was.. that the 3 finalists are all set to make a million each, they all deserve it, I like all 3 finalists, the most likeable bunch of finalists we have ever had and are all talented too! :thumbs:

:joker:

Sorry? Did you just suggest that Katie Price would make a 'great judge' on the X-Factor? :joker:

****ing hell, you really don't have a clue.

And, yeah, the alledged reason is the one you cited, that she wants to start a family.

Lol, just because Katie always has an opinion but the downfall is that she would also make the show about her, therefore I think Lily and Charlotte would make good judges!

[alc09]

What the **** does Katie Price know about music?

I have read some shite on here, but that tops the lot.

[Jords]

I bet It will be back!

[Stacey.]

Katie Price is a top legend:D ohh yerr

[Beastie]

Well we don't know what she knows? So we might as well find out..

Jesus calm your temper. lol

[Sophii3x]

Aw, got my hopes up then :( it'll keep going on and on and on, sadly

[Stacey.]

If you really think that Katie Price, yes Jordan, would even be considered as a judge for the X-factor, then you are an nutter.

[Niamh.]

They were advertising for applicants to apply for the 2010 show after the final so I doubt it

[Jords]

If you really think that Katie Price, yes Jordan, would even be considered as a judge for the X-factor, then you are an nutter.

I could see her being brought on next year as a one off judge, y'know Simon was talking about having a fifth rotating judge each week?

Would attract viewers, Simon wants viewers and he likes Katie, its not as absurb as first thought.

Oh come on, what would she know about music? :joker:

Of course it would never happen.

[Niamh.]

I think I would actually stop watching if Katie Price was a judge.

[arista]

they will give him the money.



Of Course.


It will Not be Axed.
