No X Factor this year?

[DigitalSid]

BGT appears to be airing in it's Autumn slot this year, would they air them back to back?

Ian Royce ‏@officialroycey

You want to know what happened with @SimonCowell @bgt in the autumn @itv

Ian = BGT and XF warm up guy

Could they be moving it to allow Cowell to return?

[Benjamin]

Let's hope they axe both shows. Both are well past their sell by date.

[King Gizzard]

I think there is time left in XF if Simon comes back and they drastically improve the live guests, I would definitely get rid of BGT though

[EddyEagal]

I don't believe this for a second :/

I think we would of hear by now if there wasn't going to be an X Factor this year

[Amy Jade]

That would mean he's not on X Factor US. Wouldn't it?

No, BGT would be over with by October.

[BBfanUSA]

Uh, Are We Sure it isn't a typo?

[Jordan.]

The tweet says 'What happened' not 'What's happening' How does that refer to this year?

[Marc]

Weren't they advertising next season though? Saying auditions were open for next season etc.

[Niamh.]

Let's hope they axe both shows. Both are well past their sell by date.

X 2

[Black Dagger]

We can hope, nobody can surpass Rylan now anyway, might as well axe it.

[DigitalSid]

The tweet says 'What happened' not 'What's happening' How does that refer to this year?

Auditions are already underway.

[Jordan.]

Yeah, I just re-read the tweet and get it now. The lack of question mark :idc:

Anyway I wouldn't care if XF wasn't on.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Should just axe it now. They have their superstars
Leona, 1D, Cher & Olly.

[BBfanUSA]

Little Mix is about to hit America.

[Niall]

Could this be the beginning of the end :amazed:

[Apple202]

If were gonna get a repeat of last series then they can feel free to cancel it at any point

[Patrick]

X Factor stopped being relevant in 2010 - no one gives a sh*t anymore. Same as Britain's Got Talent, and even that ridiculous 'Got To Dance' which annoys the hell out of me.

About time they realise 'Talent Shows' aren't appealing anymore, no one cares - the phase is over. Get rid of it for good.

[BBfanUSA]

If "Talent Shows" are out of style they'll come back like Boy Bands in 10 years anyway.
May as well accept it as a part of our lives

[KingBilly]

X Factor flops now.
The UK show didn't even have Britney.

[Iceman]

Should just axe it now. They have their superstars
Leona, 1D, Cher & Olly.

Out of them 4 only 3 are doing well in America and the UK now.... the older ones are done....

[Mystic Mock]

I think a year off could do the show the world of good as the last series lacked a Leona, Aiden, Jedward, Amelia, Journey South, Maria, or Ruth.

I know not all of them might be to everyone's tastes but they all was massive talking points and definitely had some amazing and unique performances imo.

[BBfanUSA]

I just realized something. Maybe we can borrow more of the UK staff for the US Version. Because there's alot of stuff on the UK version that's not translating over to the US version. (Audio Mixing is a good example.)

[EddyEagal]

Ian confirmed that BGT will be airing in the Spring. Looks like X Factor will be on this year after all
