Whatever happened to the Xtra Factor Friday evening show where you saw what happened to the finalists through the week, and you saw the previous weeks ousted contestant say their goodbyes?

You also got to see some of the rehersals of the songs. I miss that programme (Not that much, I do have a life) and used to enjoy it.

What do others think?

I'd forgotten there was one tbh but it'd be cool to have it back in any case!

I really miss it too...in fact in series 3 I enjoyed it more than the main show

I can't understand why they dropped it, cheap and easy to make and would get high ratings in ITV2 terms. Maybe they think it would be overkill with two Xtra Factors on Saturday? Mind you SCD Takes Two manages to fill half an hour every night (plus around the same on the breakfast news ) so obviously the BBC don't have the same problems with spin-offs...

Damn it!!! I thought you were gonna say it was on 2nite!

yep, I liked that show.It gave an inside look at them. and I liked the goodbyes too!
I dont know why they stopped it. Probably not enough viewers.

But they didnt have it last year either!

Was that axed last year? I think it has something to do with ITV2 wanting to gear more towards original content and stop relying on ITV1 spin-offs, so a lot of them were axed and others were scaled down significantly. The Xtra Factor used to be three nights a week at one point but now it just airs on a Saturday.

Hell's Kitchen and Dancing on Ice lost their spin-off shows as part of this process. I think only The X Factor, BGT and I'm A Celeb's have remained.

They also used to catch up on the news of what's been happening in the week.
There would have been an awful lot to say with Diana being off for one week and also Laura being voted off! The show would have needed the entire show time for just those two subjects!
