Will be very interested in tomorrows ratings. 38pct of tonight's XF episode clashed against Strictly Come Dancing. That SCD overlap % must be higher than any Saturday episode from the last 4 years. It's going to really damage its average, when you consider 10min clashes last year were knocking down their overnights by about 0.5m.

Can I just point out that NOWHERE in that tweet does the producer say he's editing boot camp? He could be editing next week's episodes for all we know.

The dancing and scoring had finished on Strictly by just after twenty past 8. If the 'clash' audience switched over at that point to The X Factor it will drag down Strictly's figure and potentially hurt Doctor Who. But Who always relies on consolidation anyway, so it's not a huge issue for the BBC.

There always that chance. We could either be seeing Samuel at 9:32am or 6pm in the evening depending on the rating.

To be fair I think everyone seems to be getting a bit overwrought about SCD/XF this year. The chances are from what we have seen so far that both will be down yoy but still miles ahead of everything else. It really should not be such a big deal.
It's no more or less overwrought than any other year since I've been on DS anyway (5 years).In fact, it's tamer. GeorgeS vs RobbieSykes was hardcore at times.

The only thing I have watched tonight is DW which was great fun I thought.
Then I caught up with Marvellous - which was absolutely marvellous.

The tabloids have had a field day with negative comments re Fix, " The Axe Fixer" and this has damaged the brand further. It's getting press for the wrong reasons. People could give up on it and clearly Simon Cowell do far hasn't stopped the decline, he might have made it worse. The thing with DW is it's must see TV for many, but when they want to watch it, so it time shifts very well, overnights are less relevant for it. SCD was very good tonight, slick, enjoyable, good clean Saturday entertainment, and not a fix in sight. |

Telegraph gave tonight's XF 3 out of 5, so a slight improvement from the 1 out of 5 it got for yesterday's episode.
The X Factor, boot camp ep 2, review: 'like Hunger Games without the crossbows'. The Boot Camp stage is excessively cruel, says Isabel Mohan http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/t...medium=twitter |

Given that the bootcamp episodes were filmed in August, it is quite astonishing that they leave it so late in terms of the edit! No wonder the quality of episodes have been in decline.
I would suggest that the real problem with The X Factor's consistency (or lack thereof) this year is driven more by the obvious lack of a clear vision as to what the show actually is now. This is a problem that plagued the US version of the show as well. No one involved really seems committed to or confident in any specific presentation of The X Factor now. I imagine this is probably because they're panicked about the ratings and just scrambling for anything that might catch on. |

The difference between Strictly and The X Factor is the former is currently better at covering certain things up. The X Factor seems to be reveling in the accusations and always has. Remember the fix allegations of 2010? And that was the highest rating series. |

Overall this was a solid return for the sequin-spangled contest. Doesn't exactly scream 4 star review. |

For one thing Strictly certainly has manufactured judges comments and producer favourites just as all shows in this genre do. Its always worth remembering that these aren't talent shows. They're entertainment shows and the production will, as much as possible, lean toward and weight the scale in favour of entertainment.

Far be it from me to suggest that the star ratings of reviews don't match with the actual content of a review (and that perhaps an editor somewhere has decided they're backing Strictly) but from this review:

It's no more or less overwrought than any other year since I've been on DS anyway (5 years).
