The X Factor Graph

Those of you who have been reading my weekly X Factor updates will have noticed my ‘X Factor Ratios’ – which aren’t actually a ratio as much as they are a percentage.  This figure represents the length of time that it took me to watch the programme based on the total running time.  For example, if the running time of the show was 2 hours, and I watched in in 1 hour, then the X Factor Ratio would be 50%.

Way back in week 1 of the competition I threatened to do a graphs of all these ratios when the competition was finished.  Well, here it is:

So, what can we learn from the graph? I think it’s mainly that I don’t watch very much of it.  The highest figure for any show was 50%, for Week 1 Saturday.  It certainly helped me to stick with the show to be able to fast forward through much of it.

It’s also telling that the ratio is significantly lower for every Sunday show compared to Saturday.  It’s really stretching it to have the results on a different night.

Anyway, I could probably do some more analysis, but I can’t be bothered.
