X Factor haters blinded with fear crying foul play from ITV schedulers. It's a conspiracy!

Donny Osmond apparently boosted The One Show to a tape-checked rating of 4.07m (20.5%) against Emmerdale / Corrie, the best Wednesday hour-long rating in ages. Don't discount his appeal to women of a certain age, regardless of his on-screen abilities.

Well this has gone from being hilarious to making me want to repeatedly bash my head into a wall, but it's good to know that X Factor has gone back to being the "bestest" again
although I'm not sure there's been a series where we haven't heard that.Anyway, I really enjoyed Doctor Who tonight, I hope it's up on the last few weeks, maybe people will choose to watch it live and catch up on X Factor later/tomorrow since that's so long (so so long) and already an hour in. |

Personally I've found it mainly crap since 2009. These live shows have genuinely been good though.Haven't seen Doctor Who yet. Can't wait to see it! |

Were you looking at the sidebar on the Broadcast article whose link I posted? That was about the 2011 final.
If I recall correctly Broadcast packed up for Christmas before the 2013 Strictly final's rating came in, and stayed off till the middle of January. ![]() |

We haven't heard praise for XF pretty much the last 4 years, at least the last 3?

Mel B is fantastic. But the overall judges chemistry is fantastic. Production values are slick and updated from the past.
Free voting is fantastic - will generate a lot of buzz. The X Factor is the official dark horse of TV this autumn season. Cheryl has no chemistry, Mel B is better, Louis has only been interesting when Sharon Osbourne throws water on him and the three of them together aren't equal to Simon. The panel has never been particularly entertaining. Strictly and BGT panels are much better. I say this impartially. |

I'm not sure The X Factor can be a dark horse...

I think that would be The Great British Bake Off. I don't think anyone expected it to pull in 12m+ viewers for the final despite the promotion from BBC Two to BBC One.
The X Factor just has to make some year-on-year increases through the lives. Anything else is a bonus.

The X Factor is not everyone's cup of tea and that's fine. But when it's good, it's good and IMO as someone who enjoys the show when it's good, I think this year it's good.
I didn't watch the last few years properly. It just felt wrong for years with Barlow there on many levels. It has the right vibe back for me in every area and is a noticeable change from Barlow, Tulisa, Scherzinger etc. The whole thing is so much better - even Brian Friedman back doing the choreography has made the performances seem more watchable. People who've never liked the X Factor aren't going to start now. |

I think James is excited. Once he calms down he'll realise what he just wrote!
![]() Obviously Bake Off was stunning, phenomenal and incredible and the best result of the year on all levels.Still think X Factor has been brilliant tonight and that it will generate good buzz and word of mouth and be a rock solid series of live shows from today on. I never thought to say XF is a bigger dark horse overall than Bake Off, and reiterated that when Fudd questioned it. To repeat Bake Off is the true dark horse and I never disputed that. But it's over now. I'm talking about the autumn season going forward. Stronger XF will compliment IAC as well. I foresee monster figures. |

No way! That was easily Bake Off as nobody expected it. X Factor was expected to storm it with Simon and Cheryl back. That hasn't happened yet but doesn't mean it won't of course.
Cheryl has no chemistry, Mel B is better, Louis has only been interesting when Sharon Osbourne throws water on him and the three of them together aren't equal to Simon. The panel has never been particularly entertaining. Strictly and BGT panels are much better. I say this impartially. And if I'm judging it against tonight's Strictly panel...

I have had similar thoughts myself. Although "XF is really good tonight" does come up fairly frequently. Anyway I dont care but more importantly a good DW tonight.

I've enjoyed previous years of The X Factor though. Admittedly not for a good few years at this point but I have been a fan. The whole show is just lacking any kind of interesting or entertaining talent. Like I said earlier they can have all the slick production they want and they can have all the big performances and a decent panel but if the contestants aren't delivering the goods then the show isn't going to work. And for me the show hasn't been good. Its just been dull and lifeless. And I think that we're talking about how improved the panel is this year might be a good indicator that the talent isn't really there on the stage (again).

Let see how well tonight does before we make these statements. Otherwise I will end up having to rename you Samuel J. |

![]() But alright, I'll stop. I'm just so happy that for me, the live shows are the best they've been for 5 years, that's all, and that The X Factor is properly back. Every episode until this point does not matter really, it was groundwork to see if it could get the 'buzz' back for the live shows. and for me, it has. |

You can't be enjoying the X Factor if you posting on this thread instead of watching it.
I don't think Samuel will get much of a reaction from X Factor fans tomorrow. The show is stronger than it's been in years and I'd rather just enjoy the programme than discuss what will inevitably be an underwhelming rating. I do expect the ratings to build over the next few weeks though. |

Andrea Faustini could be this year's equivalent of SuBo for The X Factor IMO. Never heard such a reaction in the studio shows.... he was insanely good! Surely the bookies favourite to win, if not I'm putting some money on him.Quote:

I had mixed feelings about Doctor Who when I watched it earlier in the week. Not that it matters I'd be surprised if it went up (or down) by much this week.
