HOT FROM FOX...

"THE X FACTOR" ALLOWS FANS TO WEIGH IN AS FIFTH JUDGE WITH REAL-TIME RESULTS SET TO APPEAR DURING TOMORROW'S FIRST LIVE SHOW ON FOX

Fans Can Share Their Opinions on Top 16 Beginning Tomorrow at NOON using Hashtags on the The X Factor USA app, TheXFactorUSA.com, Twitter and Instagram

In an exciting new engagement, THE X FACTOR is asking fans to be the fifth judge and allowing the at-home viewers' opinions to be heard in real time using special hashtags. Viewers can begin supporting their favorite acts via the The X Factor USA app, TheXFactorUSA.com, Twitter and Instagram starting tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 12:00 PM ET/9:00 AM PT through the East Coast broadcast of tomorrow's show.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 29 (8:00-10:05 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the Top 16 acts will perform live for the first time and viewers can support their favorite acts by using the special hashtags listed below. During the broadcast, fans will be asked: "Which Boy has The X Factor?"; "Which Girl has The X Factor?"; "Which of the Over 25s has The X Factor?"; and "Which Group has The X Factor?" As acts perform, watch the poll rankings shift in real time as at-home viewers root for their favorite acts. The poll results then will appear on-screen during the judges' comments, perhaps even influencing the judges as they see which acts America thinks should get a spot in the Top 12. Following the performances, each judge must choose three of his/her four acts to move forward in the competition, leaving one act from each category to be eliminated as this season's Top 12 Finalists are revealed.

Below is a list of the special hashtags that fans can use to support their favorite acts:

Which Boy has The X Factor?

#xfTim
