First "X Factor" Eliminations by American Viewers
It was a big night on "X Factor" with the first contestants being sent home by viewer votes...sort of. It came down to inTENsity and the Stero Hogzz with inTENsity getting the lowest number of votes. But that doesn't mean they automatically go home. The two acts performed again for the judges, and then the judges cast their votes. If there's a tie, the lowest vote-getter goes home. Last night though the judges vote 3 to 1 against Simon to send inTENsity home.
