'The X Factor' moves Top 16 Live Show to Wednesday, October 31

I think the objective of Simon Cowell and FOX this year is to keep the audience guessing on when The X Factor will actually air. After spending WEEKS promoting the first live show of the season for November 1 (that is if the World Series didn't have a Game 7) -- the first live show will now be on October 31 (because the World Series is over!) Hahaha. #FAILFACTOR

Meanwhile... all the other networks are rescheduling some of their programming today because of the hurricane. Will The Voice reschedule for Wednesday? OMG.

Via Press Release:
