Personally I have always thought the Friday start for SCD feels a little bit out of place. Its like waking the show from hibernation and it takes a while to get going. There is no decision either this week which kind of reinforces a lack of buzz. Personally I reckon they might as well go for a Sat/Sun start.

Oh! That's a shame. I do hope they pick up CSI: Cyber, starring Patricia Arquette of one of my favourite series, Medium. I can't wait for her return.
Underbelly is Australia's creme de la creme of the crime shows. It rated very well for them over the years. I might see what all the fuss is about. Have these shows started? I'd like to record them. ![]() ![]() Quote:

I watched Strictly. I found it boring and repetitive and missing Bruce. Have given up on X factor also

No, not really. In this day and age, people are so fed up with XF and all its fix stories, that more of these fix stories actually puts people off watching. People are much more media savvy these days, they know that it wasnt Tweedy who made the decisions on tonight's show but it was the producers' decisions who told her what to say. She even allegedly was looking down at a piece of paper with the script throughout all of tonight's show which made this blatant.

While everyone else was watching Strictly or X Factor or Gogglebox (or perhaps all three with side-by-side tellies like Grandad Trotter in Only Fools And Horses), me and Mum were watching our recordings of Would I Lie To You? (hilarious) and The Job Lot (didn't seem as funny as before but it's got Laura Aikman in the cast now so I don't care.)

Twitter algorithms will favour Gogglebox since it hasn't been on tv / discussed as heavily recently. Same with Strictly to a lesser extent.

Just catching up on XF now. The main problem with the episode is the unbearable crowd. Boot camp should be done without an audience IMO.

I don't think they've changed Twitter algorithms much if at all. Trending is still based on number of mentions in a period of time. Doesn't matter how long a programme has been on air or off air.
Beamly is useful if you simply want to know which of the two was generating more tweets and I'm fairly sure TXF was in front by a country mile. |

It doesn't feel like X Factor at all. The show has morphed into something else.

It's so negative and really unwatchable. If I liked SCD I might even turn over, but I won't.

I see Cowell has got his pals of the Sun to help, how many fix factor front pages have there been now?
The TV Critics would definitely miss it. If ITV's weekend line up was Family Fortunes or something run of the mill, like it was 15 years ago, they'd struggle to fill their column. |

Underbelly is midway through its run unfortunately, although it'll probably come back round again. Dexter and Deadwood are from the beginning.

Is this new? X Factor has always revelled in controversy and confrontation. It's The Jeremy Kyle Show with music. You need a scrub after watching it some weeks.

![]() I do admire your taste on ditching XF though. The results of the Yorkshire jury (not me you understand as I watch neither) are that they disliked XF quite a lot and thought SCD was so so. Both must do better. |

Tonight's X Factor, by no means the best, was certainly not the worst episode in the history of the show. There were plenty with Gary Barlow etc that were far worse.
However, there was a lot not to like about. The audience were appalling. I thought it was compelling to watch, I'm just not sure if it was an enjoyable experience. |
