I actually prefered last season, but only 'cause in the first episodes we saw the likes of Hannah and Tamera.

Some people should take some notes and read the facts in these links since they don't believe it when we say it.

I should've make it clear with saying 'most of this comment is a joke' i guess. And that part didn't include her being successfull. It's a fact that Cheryl is probably the biggest pop girl in UK right now and I'm not delusional enough to ignore that. The fun part was that you saying ''people must be tired of this show'' cause I remember you were celebrating the announce of Cheryl eating her words becoming a judge on X Factor again. And I remember you were bashing Nicole and other judges everywhere and pointing out them as the reasons for those ratings.

And I have to say that you are kinda delusional since I rarely go to Cheryl's threads and comment on her success since I know that people in there are not capable of doing a mature discussing and it ends up with warning points for them. But if it's shady when I say that I don't like her work, then I guess I am shady. And BlazingLovatic knows good that I generally ask where he gots the numbers and infos about singles sometimes. Unlike me, everyone knows your reputation for visiting and making bad comments of Nicole whenever and whenever you can.

No, it's not a lie and I made it clear just above. Oh, and I remember you also couldn't answer by comment about it, I wonder why. But it might be the only comment that was directed to you that you haven't seen since you joined ATRL I guess.

I think people really need to look up what ratings mean, why they are being counted and why they are very important. To just wave away a drop in millions over the last few years like it's nothing is beyond ignorant. Again, I stress that it's not because of the panel. It's because people are bored and the 'talent' they choose to show is average at best or just there.

Hmm.. Which comment?

Strictly come dancing disagrees. It dwarfs the X Factor in the Saturday night ratings.

To be fair it wasn't Arjun who made that comment about Cheryl saving the show, it was Million Lights.

This is true, I'll be giving it a watch this year as Queen Pixie is taking part

8.9 million is amazing. Last year the audition show 3 ratings were 7.9 million. There is a drop of ratings of basically every show after the premiere. Even the live final last year got under 8 million viewers so the viewing figures currently are great.

It will be more interesting to see the figures against Strictly tonight and going forward.

I hope this ratings droppings will change after the auditions are over, I'm not ready to hear more rating dropping comparisons when the live shows happen

They're actually up from the last episode, they haven't dropped at all

Yeah I agree, after looking at it like that it's not too bad. It'll be interesting to see if it continues to drop against Strictly.

Well they are higher than last year, that is the positive, they just need to build on them. Good talent on the live shows can do that I think.

Shame Strictly and X Factor clash tonight, that will really effect the ratings, first time they will clash like this, a full hour.

They need Queen Nicole back on this show. Cheryl is boring now...

I wish it was Nicole and Cheryl tbh. And ratings are higher than last year, so they don't 'need' her.

u betta clock!

It's just hilarious how some stans were like "the ratings are bad because of the panel" last year, and now when they're worse than last year then it's "oh well people are tired of the show" after saying "Simon and Cheryl are gonna save them ratings". Aaah I just love you guys

Worse than last year?
