Ratings – 26/08/13

An elimination is always big reality show ratings fodder, so the first The X Factor Live Results (1st – 1,408,000) drew suitably large numbers to see AdiraBelle get the boot. Nine’s (9th – 894,000) debuted reasonably, even pushing Big Brother (10th – 887,000) and its elimination back a little. Mr Selfridge (14th – 777,000) almost dead in the water for Seven – halving the lead in audience to its detriment.
