On its second-to-last show of Season 2, The X Factor (2.7/8) came down to its last three finalists Wednesday night on Fox. The singing series was up a slight 4% over last week’s show and saw a 6% rise in total viewers to 8.3 million. However, in a season that has been consistently tracking below last year, last night’s episode was down 18% among adults 18-49 from the December 21, 2011 performance final. With that said, Fox won the night in total viewers and in the 18-49 demo.
