X Factor USA is still a fair hit though and is doing better than The Voice. When The Voice comes over here, if it gets about 7 or 8m viewers (which is about equivalent to the 13m or so watching XFUSA) then it will be a good hit. Noones expecting The Voice to match X Factors figure which would be just the same as expecting X Factor to match American Idol.

Its still beating Dancing with the Stars which is the big autumn reality show over there so whilst its well below the 20m he wanted, its still a big hit. The only thing Simon needs to really worry about is who will replace Nicole.
