At least we got something positive from the X Factor premiere flop

It's a big deal considering that the show was a flop last season and needed someone to lift it to success. Britney was that person and was paid $18 million to do it. Unfortunately, the premiere was a failure given the immense hype, but I'm hopeful that the show will do great and the ratings will pick up as it progresses.

You don't get it do you? The X Factor would not have even got a 2.0 demo against The Voice
with Nicole and Paula. It's demo was way higher than the AGT finale with Justin Bieber on it.
The Voice spiked The X Factor premiere which was NBC's intention. Even with that they ended up with the same 3.4 demo. To achieve what it has going against the absolute crap reviews from last season is really good. Do you understand?

I'm still trying to understand what this demo is. Is it more important than viewer audience or less?

It's the only thing Networks/Advertisers care about.

Ah i see. So with X Factor having high demo ratings, advertisers would invest their money on that show right?

Demo = demographics. As in how old are the people watching the show. The one all networks care about - because the advertisers favor it - is the 18-49 range. People between ages 18 and 49 are the ones considered to be the main "buyers" of everything. And it makes sense, doesn't it?

So that's why you can have 16 million viewership and still be "in trouble" for having only a 2.2 average rating 18-49 - Dancing With The Stars last season, for example.

That situation happens quite often, btw. Shows like The Good Wife, Body Of Proof and The Mentalist have huge viewership numbers (usually over 10 million) but weak (around 2.0) 18-49 ratings in comparison. Grey's Anatomy gets 8 million viewers, but 3.5 on the demo. Who wins? Grey's Anatomy.

Oh so this is how it's going to be...



There is no denying that we, FOX, and Simon expected better ratings even with NBC sabotaging X Factor. I think we all underestimated the competition. Given the circumstances, X Factor did reasonably in the demos, but "reasonably" isn't enough. The headlines from the media regarding the ratings didn't help either. X Factor was in-line to replace the aging American Idol formula, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

However, I do think it's too early to get stuck into the ratings game. X Factor should pick up in the next few weeks, but not without tough competition from Modern Family, Two and a Half Men, & NFL football. Lets not fool ourselves. This week's ratings were a disappointment.

Next week is gonna define X-Factor's fate at least until the live shows start. If it doesn't go up...

Only because your expectations are not aligned with reality. Saving a show from annihilation is an achievement. The media never look at the underlying reality of a situation.

Fans who turned on Britney after the FF era ended.

Now one is an Adele stan, who desperately tries to remind everyone that at every turn despite having nary the word to say about her before it left the Britney stanbase

And the other is some wayward little gay with no home nor friends .

When you turn on the Queen, the world turns on you.

I hate fake people like that. Sucks for them. I guess some good came from this, now we know who's who.

i don't even know how you can stan for someone and then do a complete 360 like that.
