It deserved more than Saturday </3 Saturday was a car crash and yesterday everyone was miles better

I'm not bothering this year. It's not The X Factor.

saturday was a hot mess

4.8 mil for Saturday
4.7 mil yesterday

Last night held up better than last weekend. But the official figures are even worse... last weekend got;
Saturday - 6.01m
Sunday - 4.97m
Yeah, they’re consolodated figures. Embarrassing. Adding 700k is the equivalent to some episodes of Big Brother! Meanwhile, Blue Planet & Bake Off added 3.5 million

That Sunday rating omg :joker:

There's no way the contract is getting renewed right?

ITV are in one hell of a predicament.

It's rating badly but what else are they going to put on in that slot for the first time in 14 years?

Well the fact Simon keeps on saying 'we want to give the pubic more time to get to know the acts' and 'there's not many weeks this year' gives me some semblance of hope that he realises this format is a disaster and next year lobbies ITV to revert back to ten weeks again. The problem is of course, with these ratings...why would they be interested in doing that?

I was amazed it was even renewed so recently in the first place

I wonder whether there'd be any worth in moving BGT (even if it didn't do as well this year) to the autumn and switching their other shows around a little bit

One option ITV could be looking at its alternating between The Voice and The X Factor every autumn. Both are doing quite badly this year, mainly due to singing show fatigue, so perhaps having each every second year would help. Also, BGT is struggling quite badly with its live shows (getting 12 million viewers for auditions then 5 million for live shows is not good...) so by doing this, they could bring BGT forward into the spring slot where The Voice usually is and run it with the longer American format. Fitting The Voice around SNT was already proving difficult and now they've thrown Dancing On Ice into the mix too...

The other day there I thought of something quite funny (that could actually be true...) in that they've deliberately sabotaged The X Factor format this year so that it rates badly, therefore next year they can have a big comeback series (for example they could say Cheryl's back, arena auditions are back, 10 live shows are back, deadlock is back etc to get everyone hyped) then if that improves ratings even slightly to at least 5 million it will look like a big success compare to this year. Had they just done that this year, ratings would've stayed the same as last or fallen slightly so it wouldn't have looked any good anyway.. Just a thought :laugh:

anybody have a feeling ratings would dip below 4m this week?

Well I thought last Sunday would be the day that happened, but they actually went up so I have no idea

no bc fergie saves the ratings

When an episode of cbb on channel 5 is only a million viewers below one of ITV's flagship shows that's a worry but they've already recommissioning it for next year....im enjoying it though there's ALOT of talent but could we be seeing the lowest selling winners single ever? I think the fact it's failing is these double eliminations. It's like the voice we never get to really know the contestants.

The format is absolutely trash and is why ratings are so low.

However, the way things are going with RakSu & Grace (if one of them wins) I don’t think it’ll be the worst winners single ever. I mean it can’t so worse than Louisa’s.

Or MATT Terry's.

4.69 million for Saturday night, lowest Saturday rating of all time at no surprise. Tonight could be a little better as last Sunday improved and tonight will also have people waiting for I’m A Celeb

:skull:

It actually makes the voice look not so bad and that got ripped back in March. Yeah it got sub 4 million once or twice, but the catchup figures for the voice are actually more than what xfactor is getting (in fact, CBB had numerous episodes gain more than what xfactor is gaining...)

Axe ha :clap1:

What hapens when crap sue are shoved down our throat

higher than expected, I predict Fergie's presence would pull in max 5.5 mil.

Fergie isn't going to bring in any viewers when her latest singles didn't even chart in the UK and her album peaked at #49

Her album didnt even make top 40 here so she aint bringing in any viewers

and the ratings next week would probably dip below 4m, or in the 4.0 mil. to 4.4 mil. range, depending on the musical guests and the two acts eliminated on Sunday night...

I predict:
Saturday: 5.4 mil.
Sunday: 6.0 mil.

Both shows start the exact same time as strictly so wouldn’t be so sure they’ll jump 1 - 2 million up on last week

I predict

4.9
5.7

Last night's final averaged 4.4 million and here's how every Saturday night final has rated in the past;

2004 - 8.10m
2005 - 9.20m
2006 - 10.31m
2007 - 11.36m
2008 - 13.20m
2009 - 12.36m
2010 - 14.05m
2011 - 10.92m
2012 - 9.50m
2013 - 8.54m
2014 - 8.39m
2015 - 5.94m
2016 - 5.52m
2017 - 4.40m

4 years on, and it's halved.. and 4 years ago it was seen as a bad rating!

Bb used to pull more than that on a nightly basis lol

Tragic. I'm at a loss for words! TXF is flopping worse than BB (based on ratings decline)...at least BB is consistent...
Predictions for the grand finale:
4.5 to 5.0 mil.

That's what they get for messing around with the format. More of my fiends watched BB18 than this series ffs

It's what she deserves?

Just 4.4 million hahah

Countryfile gets double that

The X Factor Final - 5.20m (21.9%)
peak - 7.03m (27.8%) at 20:50
overnight series average - 5.25m (24.8%)

In context, a good rating for the final gaining 800k overnight and most watched live show but as we all know, this series has done horrendously.

Oh the newspaper were claiming differnt

It got 4.4 on Saturday night, they’re using that to make it look worse than it is

the media being their usual selves...
not surprised over there, the final usually rates higher than normal, not only for TXF, but for all shows...
I think we are in TXF's BB10 stage...no hype and all, the media criticizing it...I have a feeling next year's series would be the last...

The X Factor Final
Saturday - 5.21 million
Sunday - 5.76 million

The official series average is 6.33 million which is down 1.3 million on last year's series average of 7.62 million

Here's how each round rated and that fall on last year:

Auditions: 7.34m (-18%)
Bootcamp: 6.32m (-23%)
Six Chair Challenge: 6.77m (-22%)
Judges Houses: 6.59m (-20%)
Live Shows (Sat): 5.73m (-18%)
Live Shows (Sun): 5.27m (-25%)
All Live Shows: 5.50m (-21%)

and here's every series average and the year on year change:

Series 1 (2004) - 7.40m
Series 2 (2005) - 8.73m... +18%
Series 3 (2006) - 8.27m... -5%
Series 4 (2007) - 8.57m... +4%
Series 5 (2008) - 10.51m... +23%
Series 6 (2009) - 13.00m... +24%
