Competition shows have spread like wild fire across all TV since the 21 century. They have become insanely competitive and popular with millions upon millions of live viewers every episode. Competition shows raise and fall each year, as shown by Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor.

The new live TV episode of Strictly Come Dancing has overthrown their TV rival, The X Factor. Strictly Come Dancing had an average of 9.3 million live views on BBC One on Saturday night, on the other hand X Factor's audience was a miserly 4.8 million in comparison.

X Factor overlapped Strictly Come Dancing for a whole 45 minutes, which decreased X Factor's views drastically. This suggests that X Factor's audience doesnt seem to find the show appealing and would rather watch another show. X Factor's audience has had a steady decline, views fell by 1.5 million on last weeks episode, its the lowest opening viewership since 2004.

This could slowly result in a lower popularity for the X Factor because its genre of competition is getting matched by other shows like The Voice. This could present to dawn of other entertaining shows like Strictly Come Dancing
