Except at the start of saturdays xfactor, only 6.4 million were watching - so didnt get a huge boost from Strictly, viewers grew throughout the episode.
I think a lot of the rise is to do with the positive word of mouth, Xfactor finally feels fun and worth watching this year, credit where its due. |

The new panel is working and Simon's idea seems to be paying off at the moment long way still to go though of course

Disingenuous thread. Last year it dropped 2 million to 8.4. So not much to crow about there. It just means that at this point it hasn't gained or lost.

Well to be fair since it has been declining every year it is definitely significant that it has stabilised this year. No need to rain on the parade so much. The show is in better shape even from a quality and production POV.

Oh please! Don't you have anything better to do? Anyways, i think I stand for most X Factor fans by saying this series is one of the best in years. You might not like it, but millions do. Ratings are up and the reception is superb. So tired its ratings are rocketing...

all i've seen is the same staged nonsense but with even more sob stories and joke acts for people to make fun of not to mention the panel trying oh so hard to pretend how much fun they are having in each others company ... |

This is just anecdotal debating. This thread is about statistics. Statistically, The X Factor's ratings are up year on year and week on week. It doesn't matter one iota if you personally didn't like it or think nothing's changed or yadeyade. The numbers are what we're talking about and they are up - that is incontrovertibly true.
who are you? the forum police? the poster i replied to made a statement about why he thought the numbers had increased and i am simply asking him to explain what he meant by it. |

We're talking about right now. The thread title is "X Factor rises 1.5m viewers to 8.4m". That is a fact. We are entitled to talk about it. You are not being held at gunpoint and forced to participate. It is not November yet.

as per your previous post
who are you? the forum police? the poster i replied to made a statement about why he thought the numbers had increased and i am simply asking him to explain what he meant by it. I'll answer for him:- 1. Editing much stronger this year, feels woven together deliberately rather than clips clobbered in a random sequence 2. Judge lineup feels 'vintage' and taps into glory years of show. Panel seems to gel. 3. Show not taking itself seriously at all, it's all about fun and jokes with smatterings of talent. 4. Episodes more linear, spend more time in one location rather than previous years where judges would have different outfits and hairstyles every 5 minutes. 5. Other areas show clear evidence of freshening up, for example new opening titles after 5 or so years. 6. Filming quality is even higher, better camera work and sharp, glossy shots with great artwork for the judge/contestant room backdrops. That's 6 reasons off the top of my head why production is improved. Others agree. Now you DON'T agree, and that's fine, but the ratings are up year-on-year and week-on-week since the opening episodes which garnered strong support and word of mouth, as well as higher levels of social media sharing than previous years. The ratings are up. This thread is about ratings being up. Whether production has actually improved or not, the ratings are up. The ratings are up. The ratings are up. The ratings are up. |

I was responding to both the comment of yours I quoted and the one which you refer to before that, where you said "lets see how many stick with it to the end of the series, tired show, tired presenter tired panel". In this you used your own anecdotal thoughts to justify hypotheticals about future ratings in a bid to downplay the present-moment fact: that ratings are up year on year, week on week. I don't see how that's difficult to comprehend, 'pal'.

![]() ![]() No need to defend your argument, just shift the focus back on to me / the 'fanbois' coming 'out of the woodwork' rather than focusing on the facts! Ignore all the points I made above about production improvements and how they may play a part in the increased ratings. ![]() Clearly incapable of having a reasonable debate. |

NO, YOU WERE TELLING ME TO STOP TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO SAY............
"You are not the forum police. Stop trying to tell people what they can and cannot say". No need for caps, either. I'm calm. Maybe go for a walk and take some deep breaths of fresh air. Life's too short to burst gaskets over an internet message board, or indeed The X Factor, really. ![]() I simply think the thread was about ratings being up, and some people are attempting to discredit that using their own subjectively negative opinion of the show, which is not a strong enough argument really. Objectively, figures are up year on year and week on week for both Sat and Sun. Saturday's episode nearly beat last year's final, which aired in December rather than a summer evening, quite how that can not be seen positively irrespective of one's views on the programme (or its production) is baffling beyond comprehension. |

Another logical fallacy used by you, utterly poor debating style.

Your personal opinion is of course yours to keep, but ultimately your opinion cannot change the fact that ratings are up week on week and year on year, now the show is back to being "fun again". I don't see how you can argue with raw objective numbers with your own subjective opinion. |

I'm sorry you don't enjoy the fun show, and prefer a serious one. More viewers seem to prefer a fun show, hence why Gary Barlow's era of 'seriousness' which trickled through into Simon's return and the Grimmy/Rita year, saw ratings fall each year.
Ratings are now up, that is a fact. That is what the thread was started about. Your personal opinion is of course yours to keep, but ultimately your opinion cannot change the fact that ratings are up week on week and year on year, now the show is back to being "fun again". I don't see how you can argue with raw objective numbers with your own subjective opinion. i dont want to see a serious show btw, i want to see a fun show, but watching sob stories get rammed down my throat or contestants like those 2 at the weekend who have done the same "act" on other shows just isn't my idea of fun come on do you really want to see a show where a guy comes on and tries to get the sympathy vote by telling the judges that he had stopped singing for awhile because his girlfriend left him and his heart was broken. thats not fun, thats scraping the bottom of the barrel. |

its one weeks numbers and a week that alot of people thought featured one of the worst shows ever, we'll see whether they can maintain those numbers week in week out.
But we're talking about what we know so far, and so far we know the ratings are up! Year on year, week on week, for both shows. And they also rose so high that they nearly eclipsed last year's final. Quote:

But ratings in 2008 were 10.5m on average with 14m for the final.
