Weren't they on at different times though? I don't really care for X-factor, only watch the auditions if i come across them.

ITV will always get a bigger audience than Channel 4 because it's thought of as a mainstream channel. I don't look at other reality shows that much anyway, and X Factor sounds more of a talent show than a reality show.

i dont watch big brother anymore. not since the 5 new peeps went it...all a bit too gimicky now. i still like chatting about it though...and i watch bits of it that are relevent to a discussion.

i dont normally watch x factor but i felt left out last year so watched it on sat

I like the X Factor - but like to record it and skip through all the crap bits/sob stories.
Don't like the new audition format at all though.

However for me BB will always be the best.

It's not a surprise really. I don't watch X-factor, I might see the odd singer as I pass through channels.

Don't really like X-Factor, I just think it's a cynical vehicle for the likes of Simon Cowell to produce an identikit singer to make him more cash by releasing drab unoriginal songs which the sheep like nation buy in the millions, play it a few times and stick the cd's in a box for the next car boot.

I even forgot xfactor was on... I saw the xtra factor and the format is exactly like BGT... They should just call the show Britain's got the X factor ....

I think reality show may be on life support at the minute...
