Thanks, always spell it wrong.

7m? Gosh, I didn't expect huge ratings but that's lower than I thought it would be. :joker:

I'm sure you knew what he was saying. It really is quite disrespectful when someone enters a thread and then their only actual contribution is to correct the OP's spelling. :unsure:

the +1 ratings are up, that's something eh? :umm2:

It's a good rating in terms of TV but For X Factor thats terrible, a 2 million lost is huge.

AND strictly hasn't even started yet.

It's like CBB16 launching with 200k.

Oops

Last years launched with 9M

I bet Simon isn't a happy bunny ATM,

it normally has a lost of 1-2M after launch, so we're looking at this series getting high 5M-6M throughout the series.

Hardly surprising its been on for too many years - it goes on for way too many wks and its well boring

true, but a 2M lost is huge - it would't be a big deal if it was like 500k but 2M.

last night was the first series I've ever watched, I normally just watch live shows but I found it quite good.

Xtra Factor only got 500k, not as high as BOTS.

I never understood how BOTS gets higher than Xtra Factor when the main show ratings are still only a fraction of those of XF :laugh:

Well it's not because CBB and X Factor have different audience figures

yeah not to sure, it ways seem like loads are watching Xtrrfactor, it actually only got 500k.

:laugh:

I've never watched it I don't think.

oh yeah you're right! :laugh:

2M for X Factor is about 600k for CBB,

so it's like CBB16 launching with about 1.6M.

It was actually one of the best opening episodes TXF has had also so that's a shame. I never watch Xtra Factor I find it tedious and pointless tbh

I know, I really enjoyed it tbh, It got heavily promoted so it's strange, people just don't want to watch anymore I guess.

Louis impact

:laugh:

Weird... idk what they did to lose 2 million tbh

I bet Simon's planning next years Big revamp already.

I think launching it on bank holiday weekend probably wasn't a great idea

yeah probably not I guess, but now it's launched it will be hard for it to gain ratings.

Next week would have been better.

Well it's not as bad as it sounds.

Last year the share was 40.9%, this year 35.9%. So in real terms it's not huge, the equivalent of losing 400k.

Just less people watchng TV.
