Supersonic 49,376 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 X FACTOR as we know it is being axed and replaced by a celebrity version in a bid to boost viewing figures. Simon Cowell has pulled the plug on the traditional format of the reality show after 15 years. Public auditions have been scrapped and a host of famous faces will be drafted in to "rejuvenate" the programme as boss Simon tries to make the format relevant again. The decision comes after ratings nosedived last year and viewers switched off in their droves. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tv/x-factor/759568/x-factor-itv-simon-cowell-robbie-williams-reality-show-saturday-nights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 44,036 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 So celebrities will compete with eachother like dancing with the Stars? While it's cool in a way we all know ppls votes will be influenced by fans. That's the issue with celebrity competitions where the public can vote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually sounds intriguing I think it’s like the US Champions season, so old contestants and winners, not celebrities An All-Stars season like the article says. Edit: Actually the article mentions an All-Star section ánd a celeb section. Weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the issue with celebrity competitions where the public can vote I think they're implying that they want past X-Factor alumna on the show, similar to how America's Next Topmodel & RuPaul's Drag Race do All-Stars seasons with previous contestants.
