The top 10 performed in The X Factor Season 1 Episode 15. Tonight 1 more will go home.
Leroy Bell is safe. Lakoda Rayne is safe, as all of Paula’s one acts are through to next week.
Chris Rene is safe. Melanie Amaro is safe. Josh Krajcik is safe. Marcus Canty is safe.
Drew is safe. Rachel Crow is safe, leaving Simon’s acts in the clear.
That puts Stacy Francis and Astro in danger. Stacy got ripped into last night, perhaps a bit too much. Meanwhile, it doesn’t seem people are buying the Astro hype. I guess it’s cool for what it is, but it’s just too one dimensional, though he’s arguably not alone in that respect.
Between the two, I don’t see how either can win, but going by the judges’ comments so far in the series, I’m assuming they’ll get rid of Stacy before Astro. LA calls Astro a quitter but sticks with his guy and votes against Stacy. Nicole votes for her act and ties the vote against Astro. Paula makes it two votes against Stacy. Simon doesn’t like Astro’s attitude either, to which Astro responds that he doesn’t want to perform for people who don’t want him here. Booing ensues, well deserved. Simon opts to send home Stacy because Astro’s got a better chance of winning, but he just threw it away.
Due to the holiday, the show will be on one day early next week. Creative scheduling again. At least this week we have some warning.
