Just thought it would be appropriate to start a ratings thread for the XF. Got to say, it will be depressing looking at the ratings as it will put BB to shame, but I think that tonights episode will perform very stronly.
I predict 10.7m for tonight. BB will be in trouble tonight (its lucky that Saturdays to bad anyway) because it will be up aggainst The Xtra Factor on ITV2 and The Cube on ITV (which as its on after the XF, will have a huge benefit, but hope The Cube fails

).
The change of format has been advertised, so i think more people will tune in.
OPENING OVERNIGHT RATINGS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS:
XF4 Audition Show 1- 9.5m
XF5 Audition Show 1- 10.2m (OFFICIAL RATING 10.8M)
