His Tuesday must-watch (10/18)

As I've mentioned before, I haven't been religious about watching The X Factor. At least not to the extent that I used to watch American Idol. However, tonight the mentoring at the judge's homes is completed and we officially narrow the field down to the Final 16.

For those of you that may or may not be Idol fans that haven't checked this out yet, consider the following:

- Simon Cowell is definitely back. Everything you loved about him on Idol is in play all over again, and who can really complain about that?

- LA Reid is basically a more respectable, less ridiculous version of Randy Jackson

- Paula is involved, which no matter what always gives us one classic moment a night

- The serious stuff starts at 16 instead of 24 (thank you)

Plus, if that new Pepsi commercial doesn't get you pumped about what's next for the winner I don't know what to tell you.
