Friday night had the last performance night for The X Factor. It was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo from last week and it was down a whopping 1.4 demo points from last year's performance finale. Nobody cares about this show anymore, there is just so little buzz. Over on ABC, the last Barbara Walters 10 Most Fascinating People special was up just slightly from 2012. This has always been a decent end-of-year performer for ABC so they will miss it as an annual special. NBC had a win as The Sing-Off beat The X Factor head-to-head but it was down two tenths in the demo from last week. A Michael Buble NBC special at 10pm did better than a CBS Celine Dion special at 8pm.
