The X Factor 2017 kicked off its live shows last week and it looks like the rejigged format wasn’t a hit with viewers.
Despite there being significant changes, including an elimination on both Saturday and Sunday, the ratings dipped once again. We thought the refresh worked well and gave the show a fresh twist!
Last weekend saw Spencer Sutherland and Talia Dean leave the competition after coming bottom of the votes on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Grace Davies and Rak-Su were the most popular acts from the weekend and they battled to win a prize that involved flying to New York to see and meet Pink.
Grace was crowned the winner by viewers so we look forward to seeing how she got on.
This weekend The Boys and The Groups will perform on Saturday and The Girls and The Overs on Sunday. Hopefully Simon Cowell will be back too after missing last weekend’s shows due to a fall down the stairs.
The theme this weekend is Viva Latino and the song choices are…
Nicole’s Overs
Kevin Davy White: Santana Ft. Rob Thomas – Smooth
Tracyleanne Jefford: Jennifer Lopez – Ain’t Your Mama
