I wonder whether they'll move the IAC final to the Friday and have a 'finals weekend' like the BBC do with SPOTY/Strictly/The Apprentice or keep it on the Sunday and have X Factor run 19:00-21:00. Could be quite a big weekend |
They have said the plan is to extend the middle rounds so I think it'll be something like
8 Audition episodes (up from 7 in 2016)
2 Bootcamp (up from 1 in 2016)
4 Six chair (up from 2 in 2016)
2 Judges houses (same as 2016)
6 Live weeks (down from 10 in 2016)
In comparison to last year this will last 14 weeks which is down from 16, but it started a week later and apparently will end a week earlier.
IMO it would be better to last one extra week (7 live shows) and end on December 10th, around the usual finale date. That's a week after IAC usually ends and a week before SCD ends, it isn't as random as the start of December and is in time for the Christmas charts so would make most sense
