X Factor Returns with 6.3 Million Viewers / 6.8 inc. +1
Their lowest opener.
It's a genuine shame because I think the episode was great. With the throwback feel, a positive energy and a great set of judges / presenters; I think this could be a very good series. Perhaps the damage has already been done. It is going to take a long time for things to take off again for X Factor. |

And your point is? I'm sure the next couple of million will be sat watching it nursing their hangovers from going to festivals and going out! It was still the most watched program of the night

People were talking about 9 million was never going to happen , when the audience departs it tends to stay away even with panel changes.
Okay was a bank holiday weekend but the acid test is next week but I feel it will likely stay the same |

I suspect next Saturday's show will be higher due to the good reviews, getting past the 7 million mark at least. Tonight's show is guaranteed to get higher ratings since more people will be in (I personally think the show would benefit going on Sunday/week day nights instead of Saturday).
However don't expect the ratings to eventually go back to 2010 levels, you will be really disappointed. |

I don't get what people are getting at when they keep saying it had a throwback feel and it feels fresh. It was nothing we haven't seen before. It was same old, same old. The sob stories, the room auditions, contestants watching outside, joke acts, contrived conversations between acts watching outside. Apart from a different judging lineup (3 of which have judged together before) there was no difference.

They are saying the ratings are down by a million. Ok remember people may still be on holiday. Viewers may not realise it was returning which l think it's at least a week early maybe trying to grab some strictly come dancing viewers and drum it in X factor in back. Catch up is a good way also to attract more viewers so adding this could relect in total more viewers actually watched in but a day or two later?

Where excuses like, people are still on holiday, it was a bank holiday etc, People had BBQs, the weather was hot, etc etc etc, do consider that this very week, The Great British Bake off was on, The BBC baking show returned to the small screen with an audience of 10.4 million and a 47.5 per cent of all TV audiences tuning in.
The rise saw a peak audience of 11.2 million switching on to watch what this year’s batch of amateur bakers would cook up for judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry. The weather by the way was hotter on Wednesday in London. Only 6.8 million decided to watch XF on ITV, ITV+1 and catch up, Only 34% of available audience. 66% " choose something else, or to go out! The X Factor suffered its worst series opener in over a decade. The 13th series of the reality giant kicked off with 6.8m viewers for 34% of the audience share between 8pm and 9:30pm not enough to top last year's launch of 7.65m viewers. Viewers, " choose" not to watch it. |

Dropped 500k for Sunday. Last year it's Sunday episode dropped over 1 million as Sunday's don't perform well for X Factor anymore. Still hugely disappointing, this low opener could potentially harm the ratings for its full series. Hope they rise next Saturday.

Again, people don't watch tv the same way. Strictly will be down too.
It was still trending on Twitter etc. |

It was still trending on Twitter etc. People will still watch live TV if it's "must see" tv. Like Big Brother the x factor is tired and stale but will continue, to ever decreasing audiences |

So many naysayers on here only looking at the people who watch the show and official figures. |
