X Factor holds out against The Ashes SEVEN'S The X Factor continues to dominate reality television, topping Mondays ratings with 1.422 million viewers and 2.12m nationally. That metro audience was up on last Monday and continues a solid run for the talent quest. It helped Seven to a channel win with a 21.6 per cent share in all people against Nines 21.1 per cent. But Nine had the best network share for the night thanks to the conclusion of the fourth Ashes test on Gem, which had an 8.0 per cent share.
