X Factor live decider draws 1.43m to Seven

The first live results show of The X Factor brought 1.428m viewers to Channel Seven last night, making it the top entertainment show of the evening, according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam.

It followed the first live performance show on Sunday night and saw the departure of Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s girl group Adira-Belle, leaving 11 finalists in the competition. The X Factor was also top in the key advertising demographic of 25-54.

Meanwhile, Nine’s 80s-themed night worked reasonably well for the network. Big Brother had an 80s party before its live eviction, drawing an audience of 887,000 across the five cities between 7pm and 8.30pm. It was also fourth in 25-54.

And clip show The Amazing 80s, a one-off hour-long look back at the political and cultural events of the decade, had 894,000 viewers from 8.30pm to 9.30pm making it eighth for the night overall, but was second in 25-54.
