The X Factor

Yep, I expect we will have at least another 4 weeks of auditions, followed by the Boot Camp/Judges home stages, and then about 10 or live shows to lead us up to Christmas.

Did anyone notice how the X Factor producers take everything out of context? After watching tonight's Xtra Factor, we got to see a man that appeared in the earlier ITV1 show, yet they showed the full audition with Fearne in the background. However, the ITV1 show edited his audition to make it look as though he didn't get through to the next round because of his Irish jig, yet the actual audition was a failure because of his poor singing, which was not shown on the main show.

Taking things out of context is something this show seems to do all the time. e.g. on promos for what's coming up after the break or next week.

We got to see a lot more of Dannii Minogue tonight - and I think she's doing a great job - setling in nicely!

I agree. She is straight to the point, unlike Paula Abdul...
Fearne is great on The Xtra Factor. She is really suited to the role. Dermot isn't too bad either, but we don't see too much of him at the moment, so we'll have to wait until the live shows.

Fearne is ok if you can stick Fearne Cotton, which I'm afraid I can't.

Nice to hear Pete Dickson's voice this week, it was someone else last week.

Didnt Dermot do all the voiceovers etc last week? This week they used Pete, aswell as links with Dermot.

Could be wrong but didn't Peter Dickson previously only do the v/o for the live shows and someone else / Kate the audition and boot camp shows?

The X Factor continued its impressive start with 8.5 million viewers for ITV on Saturday night!

In comparison, the DanceX Final rounded up 3.6 million viewers (18%)for BBC1 , in comparison with 5.7 million on ITV who watched the NEW-LOOK WWTBAM and 29% .

Despite fewer numbers of viewers watching the X Factor this week, it increased its share to 47% compared with the previous week (45%).

This is mightily impressive stuff!

And the Millionaire revival is... actually working?

Yep It's deffo worked on me, I'm watching rather the switching.

Sadly, I don't like the new Xtra Factor. It's becme too ''me, me oh look at me again camera'' with Fearne.
