Mother Nature has thrown Simon Cowell and "The X Factor USA" fans a major curve ball. On Wednesday, Oct. 17, Fox abruptly yanked "The X Factor's" Top 16 mid-episode and switched to a baseball game due to poor weather. Rainy weather delayed Game 3 of the National League Championships Series, which ultimately led to the reality show's fans to miss out on the final minutes of what was previously scheduled. "Have no idea what is happening to the schedule tonight," Simon Cowell tweeted. "Have heard the whole episode will be shown next Tuesday. Sorry. It what's known as a total f up," Cowell added.
