Is The X Factor New Tonight, October 17, 2012?

UPDATE: Stay tuned, X Factor fans! Tonight's episode is delayed due to a baseball game delay. Stay tuned for exactly WHEN we can expect tonight's episode to start!

Yes indeedy, folks! Tonight’s X Factor will feature... a lot of screaming and crying, if the promo is any indication. Just who will be doing the extreme emoting is the question, as judges spend their evenings crushing dreams for two of their competitors. Only four will make it from each category: Britney’s Teens (12-16), Demi’s Young Adults (17-24), L.A. Reid’s Overs (25+), and Simon’s Groups, meaning eight acts will be cut.

So, who will make it out of the Judges’ House Fire and into the Live Shows, er, frying pan? You can check out our ever-evolving Top 16 spoiler list, or just tune in 8-10 PM ET/PT on FOX. To relive the majesty of all the performances, click the links above and check out some of our favorites below.
