^ yes closed auditions were the best

8m is hardly what I'd consider a flop, it's still up there with the highest rated shows of the week. Not to mention people are tired of the audition stage format now.

Please that can't happen, not after what they've done to BB.

As long as it doesn't drop any further and actually has there best acts not being sabotaged or missing for half the series like last year then it should be fine.

It'll pick up when the kids go back to school

It's still a success. But it was better when Simon was there.

How can anyone say that The X Factor is a flop? It's one of the UK's biggest shows. The day it launched was the hottest day of the year.. so yeah, a couple of million people who might usually watch, decided that they'd make the most of the weather. Doesn't mean they're not going to watch it. There is such a thing called ITV Player, and most people record things now anyway. This weekend (where I am) isn't anywhere near as hot, and I think the ratings will be higher. It also got quite good reviews, and no one can deny.. the talent on that show was fantastic. I predict this Saturday will get over 9 mil (just missing the 10 mil mark). From there I think ratings will get better each week, and compared to other series, this will be considered one of the best ever. We shall see...
