Ratings are in from TVByTheNumbers
Headed towards the finish line (two-night finale is next week) The X Factor slipped a tenth to a 2.8 adults 18-49 rating, good enough to tie for the night’s lead in that demo. Many seem to think The X Factor is a flop because it’s no American Idol and take any opportunity to say so. Regardless, it has outperformed what it replaced on last fall’s schedule and is a net win from that perspective.
Even if X Factor isn’t the runaway hit some were hoping for (coughsimoncough) FOX can’t be too unhappy with the lift the show gave its fall schedule. We’ll find out in January if competition reality show fatigue will affect the ratings of the mothership, American Idol.
