Entertainment News: The X Factor was tied for third place last night in ratings with Grey's Anatomy, but managed to hold on to the same amount of viewers it had the night before.
The winner of the evening was the Big Bang Theory, which landed oddly in both first and second place, as it had one episode at 8:00 and then another at 8:30!
CBS's premiere of the "Big Bang Theory" at 8 p.m. scored a 4.8/15 in the prized 18-49 demographic and 14.1 million total viewers. A second half hour at 8:30 scored a 5.0/14 and 14.6 million, making it the top-rated show of the night
In case you haven’t heard of it (I literally learned of its existence last night), the X Factor is essentially the UK bred version of American Idol. At its base, it is a talent show filled with derisive judging, providing pleasure to a middle America like audience, served a la schadenfreude.
Last week, American Idol announced it would incorporate online voting into its show. In response, X-Factor host Simon Cowell decided to up the ante, with a tool to enable paid-for voting via Facebook before the next US series.
The show’s creators are reportedly in discussions with the social network to figure out how viewers can vote via Facebook’s Credits payment system. Cowell wants Facebook voting by Credits in place by autumn when the show launches in the US.
