Hopefully the declining results show ratings will make them ditch flash vote.

Even Downtown Abbey is more popular than The X Factor now
Ah, I love the show and I'm worried it doesn't have long left. I wish the producers would just get their act together and bring back the 2010 panel. The ratings would be far bigger. Personally, the current panel is my all time favourite... but I seem to be in the minority with the ratings so low. The talent this year is actually very decent so I wouldn't put it down to that. It's a step up from last year and 2011. The show itself is OK, it just lacks spark or excitement because of a boring set of contestants. If they dropped the flash vote then the production side can't really be faulted. Last nights results show was the least watched since week 5 in 2008, and the lowest ever rated Sunday results show. |

The show itself is better, so at least that's a positive.
9 million viewers a week is still a good figure for any show. Corrie and EastEnders had 30m/25m peaks and now they have 10m & 7m. It's peaked with 19m before. It won't again but that's not a problem... Strictly is in its peak years right now and will drop eventually. I just want ITV to announce the new XF contract. |

X Factor's Sunday show used to be the biggest of the week. Now it's Downton and it has dropped to number 3 behind Strictly on Saturday. What has happened is this. X Factor has gone from the biggest show on TV to one of the biggest shows on TV. |

That doesn't matter, this is the data used to assess the viewership of a tv programme. Therefore if this data is low a show will get axed, they won't say "Oh the data is wrong". Advertisers use this data to decide where to advertise and the TV stations use the data to set advertising rates. Therefore it is a measure and it is important to commercial tv stations, regardless of its flaws. Also it is statistically significant because the sample is large and a cross section of the 65million living in the UK. Additionally the same people are used over the time periods so it can track if they have switched off or are continuing to watch/newly watching a tv programme. So although not perfect it is relevant.

Okay but why should the viewership care about who wins the ratings? It's hardly close to being axed.

'Cowell has allegedly threatened to change the Saturday night show all together and dump the new controversial ‘flash vote’ if things don’t improve.' It's only the Metro but hopefully this is true. |

The flash vote thing isn't good, but has been made worse by the elimination of deadlock. I know you can't have one without the other - how do you compare 8 minutes of voting percentages with 24 hour's worth? The show wasn't suffering because the bottom 2 were both announced on the same night - but I think the ratings are now. As the show goes on, there'll be more injustices as less deserving people get put in the bottom 2 after a tiny amount of voting time. And then they're even more vulnerable to going because of the craptastic rule about flashvote getter being eliminated ahead of the other. As was demonstrated last weekend, you get two acts from different categories, and all it takes is a single vote from one of the other judges, and they're toast. Deeply unfair. I suspect standard voting will be reinstated within the next few weeks -probably explained away as 'it was always going to be removed from Top 6 onwards'.
I don't think any week - other than the finale - will do anything other than keep slumping in the ratings. Poor contestants, judges with nothing interesting to say, a weary media, none of that is helping. Simon Cowell's right to be worried - it'll be interesting to see how they present X Factor USA. 'Fairness' is a huge thing in the States, when it comes to transparent voting. Flashvote is inherently unfair. |

Lots of Halloween parties tomorrow. XFactor ratings usually dip on Halloween weekend, last years series got its worst saturday ratings on Halloween and Bonfire weekends. Expect a really bad rating for XF tomorrow.

Probably around that 7.5million mark, maybe slightly worse actually [7.2m/7.3m]. Its a show with a lot of negativity surrounding it at the moment. Viewers speak much more fondly of SCD and shows like GBBO these days. XF is past it, it's going the same route as Big brother.
and next year if cowell returns the ratings will probably be better as well. |

Quite a good peak considering you said everyone was going to be at Halloween parties, but yes the average is down a bit...

So SCD wins the Sunday ratings too.
I'm always amazed by this; the Sunday shows always feel a bit of an afterthought because they are recorded 'as live' so you get the same 'raw' feel as the Saturday show, but they then edit bits together. It just doesn't work as entertainment in the same way. Yet they seem to be matching up to the Saturday ratings very well. |

UK TV Ratings @TVRatingsUK 4m
'@bbcstrictly drew it's best rating of this series last night with 9.98m/43.8% (11.06m peak). #TheXFactor averaged 7.87m/34.1% incl. +1. That is XFactor's worst rating for a live show in 6 years! |

Considering it would have been hit by a double whammy of Bonfire Night/Halloween that's not too bad compared to last week. I think ditching the flash vote helped it.
