X-Factor Extends Voting After Technical Glitch

The X Factor is demanding a recount. In what Fox is describing as a "graphics error," incorrect voting numbers were displayed on the screen during the performance recap at the end of Wednesday's show. As a result, the Top 13 contestants will re-perform their "Save Me" songs in a live hour-long show Thursday night at 8/7c.

The X Factor is demanding a recount.

In what Fox is describing as a "graphics error," incorrect voting numbers were displayed on the screen during the performance recap at the end of Wednesday's show. As a result, the Top 13 contestants will re-perform their "Save Me" songs in a live hour-long show Thursday night at 8/7c.

Bubble Shows: Which will survive?

Fans will then be able to re-vote, starting immediately after the show airs, and the results will be revealed on next Wednesday's show. (Fox notes that viewers who vote via phone will still hear a pre-recorded message telling them to tune in "tomorrow," even though the results won't be revealed until next week.)

After the results from this week's voting are revealed next Wednesday, Nov. 13, the remaining finalists will perform hit songs from the 1980s. On next Thursday's show, another finalist will be sent home.

The X Factor airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8/7c on Fox.
