Default X Factor Final to be 4 hours long
Over the weekend of Dec 10th/11th the X Factor final will be 4 hours long. It is apparently promising big international stars as well.

Seems pretty long to me! Why drag it out any longer than it should be? Just crown the winner and be done with it!

Take away the adverts and I bet I could watch it all in 1 & half hours.

It will be for more advert breaks and pointless rambling from the judges. That is ridiculously too long just as the hour long saga on a Sunday for the results is far too long as well.

Hate when they drag it over two days. I'd rather have 4 hours in one night
