Edit: Terrible is too strong, but I assume you'll get my point.
I think they deserve it too - I'm really enjoying this series, having bit watched it properly for years. It seems more fun, funnier and less relentlessly manipulative this time round. It's still basically a load of old rubbish, but it's enjoyable and non irritating old rubbish this time round!
I certainly irritated me last night. If it is no better tonight it will be the last time I watch it.
A positive indictment of the new panel, Dermot returning and the production changes.
What ? And miss Fleur at judges houses, and Fleur singing as special guest on the live shows, and probably Fleur sitting is as guest judge when Sharon needs to have her staples tightened ?:D
Better ratings and we got 10 minutes with Dumb & Dumber in the process. Shame as the show ended on a definite high note with Kayleigh.
Never the less, the ratings will drop as they do every Sunday.
Reason.
The return of SCD boosted it.
Nothing on BBC1 as string competition.
Why would it?
They were asked to audition. Of course it was staged.
That 20 minute stint with those 2 pathetic chicken obsessed twits last night peed me off tho, but I'll let it go...this time...
The Strictly effect.
People stayed in to watch Strictly. The timings worked perfectly for a direct switch over as soon as Strictly finished.
Strictly was there on the same night last year too but last night was still higher. Plus there have been plenty of occasions when Strictly has been there but XF has been lower than it was last night.
Except at the start of saturdays xfactor, only 6.4 million were watching - so didnt get a huge boost from Strictly, viewers grew throughout the episode.
I think a lot of the rise is to do with the positive word of mouth, Xfactor finally feels fun and worth watching this year, credit where its due.
it's going to stay behind Strictly though
The fact that people were watching Strictly and turned over probably helped.
You jest, its as trite, contrived and dishonest as it always was only its obvious now. The only reason I watch is because I keep hoping they will follow American Idol and get some decent artists out of it and not a bunch of 'relevant' and controllable cookie cutters.
