Are they not entitled to their opinion?
I know people post opinions about other shows too but nowhere near as much. |

Of course they are, but I don't know why everyone comes to the Ratings Thread to vent about it each week.

I'm really enjoying both X Factor and Strictly to be honest
I hope they both have good ratings tomorrow. SCD 10m and X Factor 6.5-7m |

Something I noticed earlier this evening, just looking for somthing to watch at 7pm, there is literally nothing. Or nothing of note. Its all pretty bland, even on the multichannels.
Its not suprising SCD does so well in its timeslot - its got nothing to challenge it. Just hoover up many floating viewers. Rpt's on BBC2, rpt's on Ch4, Ch5, ITV2, ITV3 E4 etc. Even ITV's Meet The Parents is offputting for, clearly a large number of viewers. It might be doing well in the young demographic, but its not attracting a good range of viewers. I'm so certain something like Ninja Warrior UK would do 1-1.5m better than the paltry rating last week for MTP. I suspect the latter will be under 2m tonight. |

*Negative post about Strictly claxon*
I thought it was poor show tonight. Two illnesses and weird marking, especially for Ore where the bias is clear. Not impressed. |

Are there any moderators on this forum? A handful of people totally ruin this thread and yet the old pros (they know who they are) keep on posting insightful, interesting, helpful things - they have the patience of saints.

But why would anybody, especially a commercial channel, put something decent up against a juggernaut? I very much doubt that advertisers are queuing up to be featured in this slot. You're saying this like Strictly hasn't been beating all comers for a decade.
ITV used to get 5m+ against SCD with TV Burp. We know NWUK can do 4-5m on a good day, and has a loyal 3-4m audience. Even getting 3.5m against SCD would match what the Lottery is getting against TXF with less competition. TXF is becoming weaker, and so is the schedule around TXF. Eventually something drastic needs to happen. |

I also disagree with your suggestion that people are only watching Holby City by default as well. That's been on every week for years, whereas people may default to some cheap factual about supermarkets I doubt they will watch an ongoing drama every week. |

I hope "Who Dares Wins" rates better than "5 Star Family Reunion". It is a far better Quiz show.

A default audience does often exist on BBC One in certain circumstances, but I doubt it does for Strictly. People aren't going to watch week in week out just because Ninja Warrior isn't on.
I also disagree with your suggestion that people are only watching Holby City by default as well. That's been on every week for years, whereas people may default to some cheap factual about supermarkets I doubt they will watch an ongoing drama every week. The Chase manages 3.1m against SCD on Sunday. So why should Meet The Parents be pulling in 2m? There are more viewers around that those who just watch SCD. SCD attract 40-50% of viewers. That is still 50% audience available. I refuse to accept ITV should be settling for 2m viewers against SCD. No matter how many times you tell me ITV are doing the best they can. |

Well the illnesses cant be helped, plus Will Young ofcourse but I agree a bit about Ore. Good but not that good imo. They desperately need someone to look like they can challenge Danny Mac who for me (more than anyone else in the history of the show) is just a few training sessions away from a being a pro.

So do you think ITV will be content with Meet The Parents hovering just over 2m?

I've just watched MTP and it was shockingly good, far more enjoyable than Strictly. If they put Ninja against Strictly it would get crushed. TV Burp had one good year in 2009 when Strictly was struggling but SCD was revamped and beat up Burp in 10. At times tonight SCD was cringeworthy awful with its jokes but it is a pair of slippers to millions now. Since ITV stick all of its adverts on XF it's not worth guillotining shows like Ninja. I'd like to see them swap MTP with Tipping Point since one show is safe from the axe but MTP is much better counter programming to SCD and clearly is pulling in the younger demographic. Since it's the same demographic that XF want, that makes sense. |

My usually rubbish predictions:
Strictly - 9.9m X Factor - 6.1m Everything else on ITV - below 2m (think I'll get that right)

Great for strictly, Jonathan Ross seems to be getting a boost from being on after X factor

Brilliant for Strictly, underwhelming for X Factor, good for Jonathon Ross though.
