It Was Wrong To Postpone ‘The X Factor’ For Baseball

On the Oct. 17 episode of ‘The X Factor,’ the final 16 contestants were supposed to be revealed! Unfortunately, a baseball rain delay lead to the show being cut and we only know 10 of the hopefuls going to the live shows! Boo!

A baseball rain delay forced Fox to cut The X Factor episode reveling the contestants moving on to the live shows. Now we have to wait until next Tuesday, Oct. 23! Judge Simon Cowell and fans are reacting and expressing their anger with me!

In started late and ended early, and I’m not the only one that’s mad about it!

Judge Simon Cowell called it, “a total f up.”

Reader Sheri commented on HollywoodLife.com, “I was furious!” Joyce commented, “I was so disappointed in Fox and could care less about the damn ball game. I kept waiting to find out when we would see X-Factor and couldn’t understand. They need to figure out what to do in the future so no one would be pissed.”

I agree — it was so frustrating having the show interrupted and cut short. What a tease!

If you need a full recap of what did air, Britney Spears picked Diamond White, Carly Rose Sonenclar, Arin Ray and Beatrice Miller as her final four. Unfortunately, Justin Bieber look-a-like Reed Deming and rapper James Tanner were sent home.

L.A. Reid also didn’t surprise many as he pushed through David Correy, Jason Brock, Tate Stevens and Vino Alan as his final four. Daryl Black and Tara Simon were eliminated .

Demi Lovato then told her favorite contestant Jennel Garcia she was through, and Willie Jones also came out on top. And then — bye, bye X Factor.

I guess we’ll just have to wait until next week to see who else made it. Boooo! I just have a hard time believe that baseball and The X Factor have the same audience.

The first live episode will air Thursday, Nov. 1 at 8pm ET and continue Sunday, Nov. 4 at 8pm ET.

Was The X Factor cut off for you, HollywoodLifers? Are you happy with the judges decisions so far?

I’m a little upset that they had to air the full episode on the same night as The Voice next week. I watch both shows, and liked that they didn’t compete with each other. I was talking to some of my coworkers at DISH this morning and they reminded me to turn on Prime Time Anytime on my Hopper. That way I will be able to watch both shows since my DVR automatically records all the prime time shows on the four major networks for me. The dumb baseball season is almost over, and then we won’t have these problems. Go Diamond White!

Baseball. Really?? I was so upset. It’s one thing to turn a channel because you CHOOSE to watch the sport but to have a show interrupted that is SCHEDULED for a baseball game? Poor judgement on behalf of Fox. For those of you that said that at least baseball is REAL? Tell that to the contestants that didn’t get chosen for the live show. That was very real for them. Baseball is strictly for weekends. I hate baseball. I’d rather watch paint dry but the real problem here is that XFactor got cut off. Yet another reason to ditch satellite TV and do online streaming. That doesn’t happen online. Bye bye cable. Fox owes an apology to the MILLIONS of people that were watching this particular episode and by the way? Fox? Don’t let it happen again.

I got pissed when they cut off the X-factor and put baseball on. If Fox was going to cut if off they should have told us that before or show it another time!! I really wanted to see who was going to the live shows and i bet a lot of people wanted to see it too!! Baseball too boring!! (in my opinion)

this made me laugh. the fact that people care more about an entertainment singing show is pathetic. what are they supposed to do, baseball is live tv. no one should expect the most important month in baseball to be put on hold by The X Factor.

FOX was not wrong to X-Factor at all. It’s more fun to watch people with real talent than people who are taking advice from others who can’t sing and lip sync everything. Besides these singers will go nowhere after this. It’s all about Baseball…enough of these dumb talent shows.

They made an announcement during the rain delay that X Factor would air in its entirely after the baseball game. The game took so long to resume though that they would have had to reschedule the X Factor showing, but they still should have stuck with their original plan. It was a playoff game. There was no way MLB would allow that game to be rained out. FOX should have Waited out the rain delay and never aired X Factor. They must have started running the X Factor episode sometime after 9:30 EST. they did not begin running it on time. Anyway, we already know who the top 16 are, but I guess everyone has to pretend now that the ending wasn’t spoiled, even though it was.

You are kidding right?!? All baseball is is a bunch of grown men on steroids in tight pants, scratching their privates, spitting on the ground, chewing tobacco and running around in a circle. How is that entertainment. I’d rather watch a bunch of real talented people trying to make it in life with their hopes and dreams and see them achieve it. Baseball. Gawd. Whatever.
