The X Factor 2012 - Final 16 to be revealed on Wednesday

The X Factor Final 16 will be revealed on Wednesday, October 17, 2012.

Here's the thing: We won't see any of them perform for at least TWO WEEKS. The first live show is scheduled for November 1. If the World Series on FOX extends to a Game 7 -- the first live show of the season will start on a Sunday, November 4.

This is a schedule full of fail, don't you think? And don't get me started on one of the hosts...
