Well, last night's X Factor USA airing was a bit all over the place - not only a delayed start but also a mid-episode ending, only to be told to tune in on Tuesday. (Newsflash: Simon Cowell's not too happy about it.) While we saw a little more than half of the Top 16 announced, we're not ones to sit around waiting, and thankfully Canada (of all places!) came through with a complete airing. As things were left last night, Britney had gone first in selecting which contestants from the Teens category to take to the live shows, eventually settling on Carly Rose Sonenclar, Beatrice Miller, Diamond White and Arin Ray and sending home Reed Deming and James Tanner. Meanwhile, La's Over 25s category is down to Vino Alan, David Correy, Tate Stevens and Jason Brock, while Tara Simon and Daryl Black were sent packing. (more)...

It was a wild and crazy night on Fox, as a combination of Major League Baseball, the Ben and Kate pilot, five minutes of a Mindy Project episode and just over half of what was supposed to be a two-hour episode of The X Factor aired before the nightly news took over.
Although it may have been frustrating to fight through some of the other material for us X Factor fans, the results we did get to see were pretty entertaining. The teens in particular were fun to watch make it through and/or head home.
It's much easier to enjoy watching a kid's dreams get crushed than one of the old geezers because we know that these kids have their whole lives ahead of them and they might get another chance at this. Heck, Arin Ray has had two opportunities on The X Factor in two straight years.
Beatrice Miller...

Some of you may have noticed your Fox programming was a little weird Wednesday night (Oct. 17) -- "Ben and Kate" rerun, a weirdly abbreviated new "X Factor," like 10 minutes of a "Mindy Project" rerun and then more baseball.
What happened was the Nlcs Game 3, which started at 4 p.m. Et, had a 3.5 hour rain delay. When the station wasn't sure if it would come back in primetime, it aired a rerun of "Ben and Kate." Then it decided to start showing the brand new "X Factor." Then when it looked like play would resume, it weirdly flipped over to a "Mindy Project" rerun and announced "The X Factor's" third judges' home episode would air in its entirety on Tuesday, Oct. 23.
However, we've seen a good chunk of it so far, so here's a recap if you're interested:

You know there’s something seriously wrong in the world — or at least on your TV screen — when a 13-year-old boy is looking into the camera and, without the slightest hint of irony or humor, declares “this is the climax of my life.” Hello, and welcome to The X Factor.
I’m still not sure why there was no “TV: Msp” warning in the upper left side of my screen — that’s short for “Middle-Schooler, Please!” — but Fox’s second-string reality singing competition isn’t really to blame. Sure, judge L.A. Reid continued to perpetrate the myth tonight that life...
