The results aren't out yet, but according to the BBC website they estimate that over 20 million viewers watched either X Faxtor or Strictly CD. Pretty awesome figures these days.

Last year's Strictly Come Dancing final attracted 10.6 million viewers, nearly one million more than The X Factor.

Read 20m between the both, not seen individual figures.

X factor definitely won with the voting figures, got about double the votes I think (SCD had 5.something million), the power of the teenage girls and the redial button?!

Strictly Come Dancing has beaten rival show The X Factor in the TV ratings, with an average of 10 million viewers.

Cricketer Darren Gough's victory in the BBC One dance show was watched by 38% of the available audience on Saturday.

The X Factor results were broadcast at the same time on ITV1. Won by Shayne Ward, it drew an average of 9.3 million viewers, 36% of the available audience.

erm no you're wrong. SCD won in the ratings, because it is a fabulous show whereas X factor is appalling, embarrassing, sickening rubbish. Considering once again there just happened to be a singer left from each of the judges's group, just like last year it's so obviously fake. can't believe so many people fall for a set up.

He said the voting figures were higher - which is true.

Also, last year, Sharon didn't have an act in the final, so your conspiracy theory falls a bit flat there.

I heard on the early morning news that both shows combined attracted over 15 million votes. That makes X Factor the winner on votes, having received 10.8 million.

If they hadn't of gone head to head then they would of both got more viewers. I'm surprised ITV put X Factor against Strictly C D as if they would of shown it later and not gone against each other they would of definetly got more viewers, surely ITV as a commercial channel shot themselves in the foot

I suppose they won with the amount of votes tho 10.8 million, equals about 3.5 million pounds in revenue.

Glad Shayne won, he has the best chance of a long career with the right songs etc.

Didn't SCD start 10 minutes earlier? That kind of thing can make all the difference...was that the case all through the series, when X-Factor won most of the battles?

Although interest in SCD obviously grew because it was taking over in the last few weeks anyway and their results show beat X-Factor's despite starting later...

X Factor won't have been helped by ITV scheduling the final for a night so near to Christmas when a vast number of people would have been on Christmas nights out. That's certainly why I missed it.

SCD, on the other hand, has an older audience who are more likely to stay in.

Plus the SCD phone line money was going to Children in Need rather than lining the pockets of a select few.

It is simple:

SCD beat X Factor in Ratings last night.
X Factor beat SCD in votes last night.

SCD beat X Factor in Ratings since live shows began.
X Factor beat SCD in votes since live shows began.

SCD starts before X-factor and there are no commercial breaks so it's not as likely people will start switching over when they've already started watching something. X-factor got more votes which is surely more important because it means more money. Both shows did so well though, I can't believe 25million people were at home watching them both!

Hello I'm new here but I'd just like to say that was succinctly put. SCD always beat X Factor when they went head to head, but this is one of the few times this series that the SCD results show beat The X Factor results show.

Well that post throws the 'Strictly viewers are more intelligent' theory out the window.

As for the votes, I would rather choose SCD for its £1.5m it raised for Children in Need than lining Cowell's pockets still further.

I have a feeling that to begin with they started at the same time, or X-Factor started first. I think at that stage X-Factor was ahead in the ratings, so maybe they got a bit complacent and assumed their audience was safe. To be honest, I think it was ridiculous having them at the same time - I'm sure I wasn't the only one flicking between the two!
