TV: X Factor Ratings Fail To Beat Strictly Come Dancing

<p>It seems as though this year's X Factor contestants can't even get arrested for attention as this shot from outside the XFACTOR house shows.</p> <p>by Newsdesk | 21st October 2013</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4600613335.jpg" width="460" height="266" alt="Sign of the times?

The Lonely X Factor House | © TheGayUK"/></p> <p></p><p>TheGayUK sent a roving reporter around to the X Factor house twice today to check out what the public thinks about this year's X Factor - we'd say that just two people doesn't really cut the mustard. </p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4600613336.jpg" width="460" height="260" alt="Just two people stood outside the house | © TheGayUK" title="Just two people stood outside the house | © TheGayUK"/></p> <p></p><p>Official figures for the troubled programme shows that it is failing in its primetime slot by at least 2m viewers, with just 7.57m tuning in.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4600613120.jpg" width="460" height="307" alt="Strictly The Best | BBC | Guy Levy" title="Strictly The Best | BBC | Guy Levy"/></p> <p></p><p>Strictly, on the Beeb, on the other hand is enjoying 9.69 million viewers and an audience share of 43.9%.</p><p></p><p>In Sunday’s results show Devonshire Diva Shelley booted of in order to save Kingsland Road – Kingsland Road were saved by Louis despite Mrs. O smothering him in kisses and clutching him to her breast.</p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/8-Naked-Boybands/6425360">Gary Barlow</a> and Sharon both opted to save their own acts this week, while Nicole chose the boyband over Shelley.</p><p></p><p>Mrs. O is now down to just one act Sam Bailey which the press have started calling Screwbo, which we think is fooking hilarious, because it sounds like SuBo, but Sam's a prison warden - which makes her a Screw - see what they did there!</p><p></p><p>Brilliant.</p><p></p><p>P.S ITV charges to use pictures from the live shows which promotes their own show, so we've chosen to go with a royalty free picture of a bunny. Lookie it's in a dress... </p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4600613259.jpg" width="460" height="345" alt="A Bunny | Photocredit: locket479 /Flickr" title="A Bunny | Photocredit: locket479 /Flickr"/></p> <p> </p>
