I've checked the Ratings Thread store cupboard, but I can't find the missing EastEnders cliffhangers.

The Saturday show had a 20-minute Strictly clash and then the Sunday show was hit by bad word-of-mouth. And the fact that literally the first half-hour of it was a recap!
And you've conveniently ignored that 500k is still within the range of natural week-on-week fluctuation. Not necessarily a result of the format, could have been weather, who knows? And no, a drop of 0.17m isn't worth mentioning at all. And yes, of course it will be down this week but due to the clash not the format. |

Is it the weekend already?
In other news the BBQ's planned for the 8pm to 10pm block are off due to the rain. |

I was thinking exactly the same thing. It like a revolving door of poor excuses and differing opinions that just keeps on turning.
In other news the BBQ's planned for the 8pm to 10pm block are off due to the rain. It should be around 35% share after SCD finishes. |

Has it really? 2015 doesn't count because of the stupid format.
In 2014, there was a Friday show which was never going to do well - and the Sunday show got 8.8m, a strong number and hold compared to 8.97m the week before. No notable dip there. I honestly don't know who's worse on this thread, those who say X Factor is performing "very poorly" or those who just ignore certain facts to religiously defend the show. |

2015 'doesn't count'...? So let's just exclude a year because of it's completely terrible performance...

If one year's format was completely different to the other ones, we can't really use it to accurately judge the popularity of judges' houses. That's like comparing the sales of normal potatoes to the sales of sweet potatoes - not really the same thing.

Well yes, you can. Last year, the show was called 'The X Factor'. This year, it has the same name. 2015 had some changes, but it was clearly the same show.

Well that's similar to saying "this desktop PC and mobile phone are both made by Microsoft, therefore we can use one to predict the sales of another".

EastEnders has had a sudden gear-change recently, which seems to have really divided opinion. Some people are finding it very slow/boring with not much happening, others think it's great that they're focusing on everyday things like parking problems instead of big sensational plots.

The Our Girl re-commision discussion is interesting.
It must be at least as expensive as Our Zoo and yet doing much the same ratings wise. That, as we know, was axed, prematurely in my view with the argument about cost and making way for new shows excuse. Whilst its AIs were excellent. I suspect Our Girl will not be axed so quickly at this level. And I think series 2 has been a step up from series 1 even if the AIs are not as good. But it rather shows how decisions about scheduling and cancellation are not as easy as they look and how dependent they might be on whether the person making them is a fan of the show or not. |

You can't discount a year of TXF just because the facts of it don't suit your agenda. By that measure, lets discount SCD's 2009 series because that was a duff one. What an outlandish, pathetic argument. |

Oh....landed in the XF Forum by mistake, can someone redirect me to The Ratings Thread.
I find it strange people posting about a show they like, when it is on? I didn't post on these forums for two hours whilst watching and enjoying SCD. |

Having a completely different format for a stage in the competition is clearly going to affect its popularity. Surprised nobody sees this on here.
Next you'll be saying that we can't compare an episode with a corresponding one from another year because that started at 8:05pm, whereas this one started at 8:00pm. Completely bonkers! |
