For the first time on “The X Factor,” a double elimination was held which ended the road for acts Lakoda Rayne and LeRoy Bell. Paula Abdul’s last group standing Lakoda Rayne got automatically booted off the competition after garnering the lowest number of votes.
Nicole Scherzinger’s Over 30s bet LeRoy Bell, on the other hand, was the first act to be eliminated via deadlock, where the judges defer to America’s votes after resulting to a tie with their decisions. Paula and Nicole both voted to send home Marcus Canty while Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid wanted to send home LeRoy.
But by virtue of the deadlock, Leroy was bid goodbye after getting the lowest number of votes next to Lakoda Rayne. Now only seven acts move on to the next round. Simon and L.A.’s acts still remain in the competition; Nicole now only has Josh Krajcik; while all three of Paula’s groups were already sent home. Who will be eliminated next?
