Simon Cowell reacts to last night's X Factor mess



The X Factor USA's final Judges' Houses episode is now due to air in full on Tuesday (October 23), after the primetime schedule was altered due to a rain delay in a baseball game.
The crucial episode - in which judges Britney Spears, Simon Cowell, LA Reid and Demi Lovato select the contestants they will take forward to the live stages of the competition - only aired in part as a result.



Cowell wrote on his Twitter page: "Have no idea what is happening to the schedule tonight. Have heard the whole episode will be shown next Tuesday. Sorry. It (sic) what's known as a total f up."
Audiences on the East Coast saw the start of the episode delayed by around 40 minutes, and witnessed Spears and Reid selecting the final four contestants for their respective categories.
Two of Lovato's contestants were also revealed before the program was cut off without warning after a commercial break for a partial rerun of The Mindy Project.
A caption on the screen announced the rescheduled transmission date, before coverage returned to the NCLS baseball fixture between the San Francisco Giants and the St Louis Cardinals.
Details of the rescheduled show were also confirmed on The X Factor USA's Twitter account. (if anyone hasn't heard yet it's gonna be on at 8pm on Tuesday)
The X Factor's live shows will begin on Thursday, November 1 as the series takes a break for coverage of the Major League Baseball World Series.

It doesn't matter which of Playback or Sister C get cut - since they are GONE in the first episode anyway. cackle

WORST EPISODE EVER.

fox ruined the show, and so did ctv.

ugh, ctv aired like 85% then switched to an old episode.

fuckers.

although it was the first time i've seen 'ben & kate', and it reminds me of an adult version of 'good luck charlie'. i didn't hate it

I like them despite being one messy group.

Playback > Sister C > Emblem 3 > Any of the overs
blakergirl07 18th-Oct-2012 10:32 pm (UTC)
As if I didn't hate sports enough, Baseball has to go and fuck up my shows this time of year.

Anyway, Sister C is annoying as hell, I hope they're gone. They remind me way too much of these brats I knew in HS, who were also sisters lol.

sister c is what plays in your dentist's office as your getting a filling.
whitegirlthin 18th-Oct-2012 10:42 pm (UTC)
LOL omg so true

Nightmares.
inflixion 18th-Oct-2012 10:33 pm (UTC)
that's what you people get for watching this shit. although fox should've taken into consideration that games can run long even if they start in the afternoon.
hayzaaay 18th-Oct-2012 10:37 pm (UTC)
yep a 4 oclock start was never gonna work. playoff games are like at least 3.5 hours
steph313 18th-Oct-2012 10:34 pm (UTC)
Sports' delays push television shows around. What else is new?
hayzaaay 18th-Oct-2012 10:37 pm (UTC)
i love baseball with all of my heart and soul but LORDDDDD I WAS MAD AND I STILL AM
treradical 18th-Oct-2012 10:38 pm (UTC)
w/e man that game was delayed for 3 hours
succubuzz 18th-Oct-2012 10:49 pm (UTC)
lol @ us we are just mad the Giants lost
watch_mex0x0 18th-Oct-2012 10:42 pm (UTC)
it just made NO SENSE to me. No one gives a fuck outside of San Fran/STL, play it in those two areas and give the rest of the nation X Factor..
katiefitch 18th-Oct-2012 10:43 pm (UTC)
mte it's not like it's the world series
backincharge 18th-Oct-2012 10:42 pm (UTC)
I liked last season better tbh.
plugmebaby 18th-Oct-2012 10:44 pm (UTC)
britney looks so uncomfortable and not herself :/ i feel like she lost such a huge part of her personality.
backincharge 18th-Oct-2012 10:46 pm (UTC)
She's getting better with it.
staticrebelle 18th-Oct-2012 10:54 pm (UTC)
The amount of times she called the contestants "sweetie" was awkward, i dunno. She would be like "Hi sweetie! I like your earrings sweetie!" In one sentence. Poor girl is trying to hard :/
ballsmazig 18th-Oct-2012 11:10 pm (UTC)
I think that's just how she talks to kids that's all.
liselaime 19th-Oct-2012 12:16 am (UTC)
That's how a lot of women in the south talk, though. They call everyone sweetie. I have been called sweetie/honey by women who were 10 years younger than me.

I do agree that she seems really awkward and uncomfortable. I think part of it is that she's on medication, which tends to dull your personality, but is probably necessary for her in order to function.
kydeon 18th-Oct-2012 11:13 pm (UTC)
I loved how gleefully she eliminated them
panteakid666 18th-Oct-2012 10:44 pm (UTC)
Okay, I wasn't going crazy when it recorded last weeks episode again! I was annoyed because people were tweeting the picks and then i didn't get it!
