I don't think Halloween is that good of an excuse when Strcitly Come Dancing got 9.4M

I am not surprised another fall on top of last years fall is in place to be honest.
I miss Louis Walsh and his crazy comments,the humour is gone from X Factor.

Last nights show was way too long,it is beyond belief that to hear only 14 songs in the whole show, 13 of those songs cut in their original running time too,that nearly 2 and a half hours was needed for 4 judges to feed their egos and ramble on most of the show.

Cheryl makes the show all about her, Simon has now ran out of things to say so we get things like I didn't like it, I loved it,Rita is a great artiste but as on the Voice she comes across as amateurish on here.
Nick, is a good DJ but all through X Factor he has been Mr personality dead.
Nothing from him at all.

I watched the X Factor after Strictly was finished but by the last 15 minutes of it was really glad and relieved it was finally finished.

Yeah I guess.

[Will.]

I don't think the acts at the beginning were captivating apart from a few like Alien Uncovered etc.

Having Lauren first was underwhelming and bored me.

They left a lot of the good ones till last.

[joeysteele]

Also Halloween has been in the past one of the X Factors biggest audience nights so I cannot see how Halloween can be an excuse,its ratings have been falling all this series so far in the main too anyway.

[arista]

Thats OK Will

The Ad Companys are happy with that amount

[LeatherTrumpet]

the way they bigged up every act in desperation

:facepalm:

[Smithy]

:shrug: Catch up figures show that on average the x factor still gets ~ 9 million a week which are the figures which really need to be taken into consideration as opposed to the over nights

This.

People are just looking for reasons to put down X Factor

[Cal.]

Halloween TBH

[Denver]

It's because they have more breaks then Gemma Collins walking up the stairs.

:fist: Hey, I was out partying until after 5 am.

[kirklancaster]

I think the poor ratings for X Factor is ironic, because it is just about the strongest line up of talent in the show's history.

[MB.]

:fan: at the desperate excuses, the last time X Factor aired on Halloween night it got 10 million in the overnights

[Denver]

:fan: at the desperate excuses, the last time X Factor aired on Halloween night it got 10 million in the overnights

May I also add for how many weeks has it been struggling to get 7 million? People no longer watch this show as the manipulation is blatant

consolidated ratings show that on October 3, The X Factor picked up an average of 9.01m viewers while Strictly remained at 8.68m fans.



:shrug:

not too sure why you're over looking the facts, i didn't watch last night i'll watch later today

[Denver]

All show gain so X Factor will still be way behind Strictly in the final rating.

That sad thing is the X Factor is no longer the show it was the producer don't have a clue what there doing and I'm sure ITV will axe it next year and probably fill out with the voice if they win the rights.

[Jason.]

:clap1:

Axe ha

Yes it did last year when the Live shows were already underway and had a Halloween theme.

This year the live shows have started late and with no traditional Halloween theme people will have had the music channels on, also it was a nice night last night - it was Lissington down last year

Omg did you even read the whole sentence?

[LukeB]

I don't think Halloween is the reason,

Season 7 had 13.74 viewers for halloween
Season 6 - had 11 Million for halloween

it's down because people are bored of the show and it dragged to get to the live shows. Louis and Dermot not being there is another reason why ratings are low.

Really Kirk,

For me its the opposite, if this was the best 12/13 then the others must have been atrocious.
I myself think this the worst ever line up of acts on X Factor.

Glad you are enjoying it but much more of last nights farce and I will see it as near purgatory to watch it.
There wasn't a single performance I would want to download and really not even one that I particularly even want to watch again let alone even consider voting for.
A first ever wholly negative for me as to X Factor.

10 million in the overnights...6 years ago. :laugh2:

Just ignore how much viewership has changed then

[Vanessa]

I really enjoyed it.

That was years ago tho

[Will.]

I doubt it will get 9M in officials, as the episodes getting good officials have been receiving around 7M overnight.

[Jack_]

Bring back Louis, bring back Dermot

I agree that this year's finalists are the strongest for a very long time, it's just a shame that they're the focal point of the worst produced series of X Factor ever

[Samm]

Lmao

[EspeonBB]

nnn true

It's the reason why GBBO and SCD are the highest rating shows on TV rn

[Denver]

nnn true

It's been proven that strictly and GBBO attracts viewers of all ages

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I feel embarrassed for the 5 million who actually tuned in.

[Headie]

Why do you even feel the need to post that :shrug: Some people enjoy watching the show.
