X Factor - 4.27 million (18.2%)
Now it's lowest rating ever. Before this series, the lowest ever was 4.8m for the first ever episode. Last Sunday had 4.6 million...

Strictly: 10m (44%)
Blue Planet - 10.78m (44.7%)

[Denver]

4.3 million last night

[Greg!]

WAHHHHH It's what she deserves. Trash format.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its that disgusting show off Nicole's fault. we dont want her over here its all about memememememememememe

vile

[Jack_]

screaming

My only worry is that instead of restoring the regular format, they'll go The Voice route even further and cut the lives to like 3 weeks

It deserved more than Saturday </3 Saturday was a car crash and yesterday everyone was miles better

[Cal.]

I'm not bothering this year. It's not The X Factor.

[Crimson Dynamo]

saturday was a hot mess

[LukeB]

4.8 mil for Saturday
4.7 mil yesterday

[supertv247]

Last night held up better than last weekend. But the official figures are even worse... last weekend got;
Saturday - 6.01m
Sunday - 4.97m
Yeah, they’re consolodated figures. Embarrassing. Adding 700k is the equivalent to some episodes of Big Brother! Meanwhile, Blue Planet & Bake Off added 3.5 million

[Oaker]

That Sunday rating omg

There's no way the contract is getting renewed right?

[Marsh.]

ITV are in one hell of a predicament.

It's rating badly but what else are they going to put on in that slot for the first time in 14 years?

Well the fact Simon keeps on saying 'we want to give the pubic more time to get to know the acts' and 'there's not many weeks this year' gives me some semblance of hope that he realises this format is a disaster and next year lobbies ITV to revert back to ten weeks again. The problem is of course, with these ratings...why would they be interested in doing that?

I was amazed it was even renewed so recently in the first place

I wonder whether there'd be any worth in moving BGT (even if it didn't do as well this year) to the autumn and switching their other shows around a little bit

[supertv247]

One option ITV could be looking at its alternating between The Voice and The X Factor every autumn. Both are doing quite badly this year, mainly due to singing show fatigue, so perhaps having each every second year would help. Also, BGT is struggling quite badly with its live shows (getting 12 million viewers for auditions then 5 million for live shows is not good...) so by doing this, they could bring BGT forward into the spring slot where The Voice usually is and run it with the longer American format. Fitting The Voice around SNT was already proving difficult and now they've thrown Dancing On Ice into the mix too...

The other day there I thought of something quite funny (that could actually be true...) in that they've deliberately sabotaged The X Factor format this year so that it rates badly, therefore next year they can have a big comeback series (for example they could say Cheryl's back, arena auditions are back, 10 live shows are back, deadlock is back etc to get everyone hyped) then if that improves ratings even slightly to at least 5 million it will look like a big success compare to this year. Had they just done that this year, ratings would've stayed the same as last or fallen slightly so it wouldn't have looked any good anyway.. Just a thought

anybody have a feeling ratings would dip below 4m this week?

Well I thought last Sunday would be the day that happened, but they actually went up so I have no idea

no bc fergie saves the ratings

[pontyboi]

When an episode of cbb on channel 5 is only a million viewers below one of ITV's flagship shows that's a worry but they've already recommissioning it for next year....im enjoying it though there's ALOT of talent but could we be seeing the lowest selling winners single ever? I think the fact it's failing is these double eliminations. It's like the voice we never get to really know the contestants.

The format is absolutely trash and is why ratings are so low.

However, the way things are going with RakSu & Grace (if one of them wins) I don’t think it’ll be the worst winners single ever. I mean it can’t so worse than Louisa’s.

Or MATT Terry's.

4.69 million for Saturday night, lowest Saturday rating of all time at no surprise. Tonight could be a little better as last Sunday improved and tonight will also have people waiting for I’m A Celeb

[LukeB]

[supertv247]

It actually makes the voice look not so bad and that got ripped back in March. Yeah it got sub 4 million once or twice, but the catchup figures for the voice are actually more than what xfactor is getting (in fact, CBB had numerous episodes gain more than what xfactor is gaining...)
