7m? Gosh, I didn't expect huge ratings but that's lower than I thought it would be.

the +1 ratings are up, that's something eh?

[Will.]

It's a good rating in terms of TV but For X Factor thats terrible, a 2 million lost is huge.

AND strictly hasn't even started yet.

It's like CBB16 launching with 200k.

Oops

[Will.]

Last years launched with 9M

I bet Simon isn't a happy bunny ATM,

it normally has a lost of 1-2M after launch, so we're looking at this series getting high 5M-6M throughout the series.

Hardly surprising its been on for too many years - it goes on for way too many wks and its well boring

true, but a 2M lost is huge - it would't be a big deal if it was like 500k but 2M.

last night was the first series I've ever watched, I normally just watch live shows but I found it quite good.

Xtra Factor only got 500k, not as high as BOTS.

I never understood how BOTS gets higher than Xtra Factor when the main show ratings are still only a fraction of those of XF

Well it's not because CBB and X Factor have different audience figures

yeah not to sure, it ways seem like loads are watching Xtrrfactor, it actually only got 500k.

oh yeah you're right!

2M for X Factor is about 600k for CBB,

so it's like CBB16 launching with about 1.6M.

It was actually one of the best opening episodes TXF has had also so that's a shame. I never watch Xtra Factor I find it tedious and pointless tbh

I know, I really enjoyed it tbh, It got heavily promoted so it's strange, people just don't want to watch anymore I guess.

Weird... idk what they did to lose 2 million tbh

[Will.]

I bet Simon's planning next years Big revamp already.

[Daniel-X]

I think launching it on bank holiday weekend probably wasn't a great idea

yeah probably not I guess, but now it's launched it will be hard for it to gain ratings.

Next week would have been better.

[JoshBB]

Well it's not as bad as it sounds.

Last year the share was 40.9%, this year 35.9%. So in real terms it's not huge, the equivalent of losing 400k.

Just less people watchng TV.
