Just under 1.5m in the ratings last night.

Crikey, I didn't think it could fall much further :/

I assume that'll be down to Saturdays episode being by far the weakest episode. But maybe people will be back for the lives and after the seemingly positive reviews (again) for the Rap/RnB episode.

 

We'll see. But yeah, I haven't cared about the ratings since debut week really. It's not taking away my enjoyment of the show and I've told myself it's not like they're relying on ratings to get another series. So... meh. It's a shame ofc that ratings aren't matching the hype/critic reviews, but it's still a big level of exposure for them.

Wow that's bad but the BGT finale was on on Saturday night too which I guess stole some audience. Hopefully the strictly lead in for the next 4 weeks will help it pick up song ratings.

Saturday’s episode has been postponed to the 24th because a number of contestants have tested positive for COVID!

It's not the contestants, it's the production staff, if it were the contestants they'd push it back further.

Hoping to be back on air 24th October. Fingers crossed 🤞

Not necessarily, depending on when they were actually tested / when their isolation period ends.

 

Still postponed regardless though.

Hopefully those who have the virus aren’t seriously ill and they’re just mild symptoms but understandable why it’s been pushed back.

 

In a way maybe it’s good it’s been pushed back as it will now air after the album release week because of this won’t it? (Or was it always due to do that anyway).

Was looking forward to the lives this weekend so it’s a shame but it’s more than understandable. Hopefully it’s a speedy recovery for anyone that’s caught it and the show will be back the following week .

When will we know for sure if The Search is back on Sat???

BBC has listed this as airing as normal on their website at 18:10, which I would assume means it's going ahead.

 

Bit odd how we haven't heard anything though, no news is good news I guess? I think we'll get an announcement hopefully today or later in the week.

I was just wondering about this, hopefully they give a confirmation by tomorrow

Jade has to self isolate so will be doing her mentoring through video.. No live audience either

Urgh what a mess, f***ing Covid. They should just shelve the lives until next year if they can't do it properly.

This might not even be over next year tho. They'll have to make do. Hope they are still performing

This is a disaster.

 

Surely they won't perform either so bye any hopes of the show helping the album.

I really hope Jade is okay though!

 

I also hope they pre recorded the performance just incase anything like this was to happen but then again i really doubt they would have done that idk. Poor girls can never catch a break aha.

Ahh that's a bit annoying. I guess at least its not actually during the release week.
