A repeat of The Big Bang Theory got higher ratings than X Factor in the demo during its half hour. That’s sad. The finale was down 18 percent from Season 1, and down 37% from The Voice finale. Entertainment Weekly predicts The Voice could topple American Idol as TV’s highest rated entertainment series when both shows go head to head next year.
On FOX, the finale of The X Factor earned a 3.1, up from last week’s 2.4, but down seven tenths from last year’s 3.8 adults 18-49 rating.
