The series that added "fist-pumping," "GTL" and "smushing" into our vocabulary - not to mention giving an alternate meaning to "situation" - will kick off the beginning of the end on October 4 at 10 p.m.

Britney on 'X Factor': This time, she plays niceAn earlier promo of Britney Spears on "The X Factor" seemed to hint that the new judge has some of Simon Cowell's biting criticism in her, but a new clip shows a different side to the pop star.
