LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- FOX has locked in a few more signposts for "The X Factor" this season, including a live wildcard episode on Sunday, November 4 as well as a two-hour finale on Thursday, December 20.
The wildcard episode's length is contingent on how the network's World Series coverage shakes out. Either we'll see two hours on Thursday, November 1 and Sunday, November 4 if there's no Game 7 of the World Series or a single 150-minute episode on November 4 if there is.
