They had to have exceeded that easily

Perhaps they need a spanking from OFCOM?

Sky + is your friend! No wonder the ratings are down. About 10 minutes of singing and 80 minutes of ad breaks, competitions and pointless fluff.

I swear it never used to be this bad.”

You're right.

I make a point of getting up during the advertisements, but I'm starting to believe that I spend more time out of my seat than in it during X-Factor.

It is really beyond a joke now.

I think they must have easily exceeded it.

Since last year I alway's record. 1/. so I can speed through the adverts. 2/. replay anything I actually enjoyed. 3/. check out the comments, antics and faces of the judges where the larf factor exists.

Adverts? Was a bit slow with the FF button last night if you didn't know that Xmas is coming you do now.

Interestingly, the only act that I wanted to hear again and have replayed a number of times is Little Mix.

Same here, we record it and watch it about an hour after it actually starts.

We skip through all the ads, much of the judges stupid comments and miss parts of the boring performances.

If it wasn't for being able to record it, we wouldn't bother at all with TXF.

Dermott does and song and dance routine!

I watch the live show but I turn the sound down whilst the ads are on and go on my computer.
