Two Angela's then.
Re: The X Factor. The issue wasn't so much the changes but when things didn't work they seemed to focusing on fixing the wrong things. And everytime it took a step forward in terms of credibility, noteably with James Arthur and Ella Henderson in 2012 (both still hugely successful) and Rak-su and Grace Davies in 2017 (both not getting the success you'd expect) the following year seemed to revert to a karaoke contest and Abba week.
I think Strictly has been better at modernising and not panicking about criticism. The old school fans hate Couples Choice for example but they've stuck with it and seen some memorable routines as a result which appeal to a wider audience than traditional ballroom.
