So for the first time Big Brother reincarnate and X Factor will be going head to head for attention in the autumn.

Is there going to be enough room for both shows to thrive or will they end up cannibalising each other's audience?

Media coverage will be split down the middle with the Daily Star and Ok! giving saturation coverage to BB and the Sun, who have always had a cosy relationship with Cowell focusing on X Factor. In the nature of tabloid wars, I would expect the Sun to ignore BB as much as possible and the usual string of negative 'X Factor fix' headlines in the Star.

With the US X Factor being thrown into the mix as well (especially if Cheryl gets the judging gig) can we really cope with all three shows or will we reach reality overload and our heads explode?

You decide!
