BBC apparently in talks to make a talent show to find two new spice girls.
Judging done by the remaining 3. Great, another singing contest........ I would have expected something much classier than the Spice Girls though. Take That is way better, more like it.

Only 20m people were watching TV last night. The other 43m were doing ...
You need to get a reach figure for the evening, and it will be a lot, lot more than 20m. |

And I suppose that's all The X Factor can do now - manage the decline. Of course it should see some benefit in due course as I think the Rugby World Cup commenced mid September last year which shoved elongated shows to Sunday evenings. Splitting them up into manageable chunks should help.
Out of interest how did tonight's equivalent show rate last year? It got 7.33m (30.9%) last year for the week 3 Sunday show. |

This is the thing, nothing they could replace it with would do better or even nearly as well. So they're stuck in this situation where it's performing badly against Strictly, which everyone and their horse wants to compare it to, but on the other hand it's performing much much better than anything else they have got for 3 months of the year.
It was never going to set itself back alight so soon after so many below par series. Let's see what happens in the bootcamp through live shows. |

Maybe it'll air the year after the Gary Barlow thing, and this "popstars finding new co-stars" will be new series/franchise for Q1. If they differentiate it enough from traditional singing contests then it might actually work. It could also make The Voice struggle by hoovering up older viewers.
I would have expected something much classier than the Spice Girls though. Take That is way better, more like it.If they go for similar ages then it would be catering for older viewers I would of thought. |

It is far better than anything else but let's not rewrite history. It was Simon and Louis who continually compared viewing figures with SCD so the media jumped onboard listening to their opinions. It's carried on since then though Simon and Louis seem to have stopped talking about it.

From rzt:
Inc +1 The X Factor : 7.44m (35.7%) *peak: 8.39m (40.3%) at 20.50 Newzoids : 2.83m (15.1%) Okay for Newzoids. Shame it's not doing a bit better. 3.5m would be good for it. And it's actually a pretty decent show. Missed for the series but have been watching this one and I am enjoying it. Much better slot IMO than last year. |

Also, let's remember how XF was thrashing Strictly back in '10.

That's about where I expected for X Factor. I would describe it as a solid rating all things considered. Hopefully it can stay above 7 million tonight and not drop too much.
I think Go For It is a great show, really fun harmless 60 minutes of TV. It'll never be the centre piece of an evening, but I think it's a nice 'warm up' show to start the night off. It's a shame it's not doing better, but it seems so much tougher now to draw a significant audience into early evening. It seems the big audience will only turn up to the centre piece, and that's it. A lot harder to keep viewers hooked to an all evening schedule on one channel. I would give Go For It another chance though, Stephen Mulhern is at perfect ease on the show and it's a nice easy format to follow and very entertaining too! Newzoids is good too, but isn't really catching on. It'll be nice to see it make some gains, ITV have at least made the effort to make this a hit by promoting it well and giving it the X Factor lead in this time. |

Do we think the BBC will put The Great Christmas Bake Off on Xmas Day?
If so it's almost certain the schedule this year will be:
Spoiler
If it's Midwife as usual it'll almost certainly be
Spoiler
It would be nice if the Beeb split EastEnders again... but it's been so long since they did. |

X Factor was ahead of Strictly partly in 2008 then 2009 to most of 2011. So around 4 out of nearly 12 years. But a very high rating 4 years.
XF still has the crown the for highest rating episodes. Just for interest, I thought Strictly was faultering in 2009? Or have I got the wrong year? |
