Flop Factor
 

5.9 million viewers, 400k down from last year, 300k down from last week and the lowest rating final ever. Michael McIntyre got higher ratings, I blame Nicole - awful women.

A mess

good

:laugh2:

I hope the people of Finland are taking advantage of these low ratings and illegally spam voting Saara

Embarrassing

3M down on 2014.

38% decrease if my calculations are right.

Rip

To put the decrease in perspective...

BB15 got 1.6M for the final in 2014.

So it's like BB17 getting 950K for the final in 2016 if it had the same decrease as XF (40%).

Messy, XF needs axing.

Let alone the ridiculous amount of votes last night...

Judges who do not critique

Same tired songs time after time

Deliberate manipulation of acts like say 5am who were crap but lauded week after week, joke acts performing in the final

No pop acts wanting to be associated with the show

hot mess

Will be interesting to see how The Voice does on ITV

Surprised it's still that high tbh. It stopped being good half a decade ago.

Screaming remember when the final used to get like 16 million viewers :joker:

Didnt 2010 get 18?

Yep, 17.7M views officially.

:clap1: Axe the crap.

ITV to axe it and X Factor to join BB/CBB in the afterlife on channel 5?

May as well, they've already started with the awful tacky production so it would fit right in.

Here for Celebrity edition.

X Factor: Battle Of The Stars was a thing once upon a time..

To put this into perspective, the CBB final in January (which is nightly and costs a lot less) got 3m viewers, so only half what X Factor's Wembley arena final starring The Weeknd and Louis Tomlinson got...

Ooh, snap.
