The “X Factor” is down to the Final 3!
The season three finalists were unveiled on Thursday’s results show, where — without a sing-off — only the votes from viewers at home determined who would compete in next week’s finale.
As suspense built throughout the show, some bombshells were dropped.
Carlito Olivero was the first to be declared safe, a big shock after the contestant was in the Bottom Two just last week, and narrowly avoided getting sent home twice this season.
Frontrunners Alex & Sierra were the next to survive the brutal cut, leaving Simon Cowell’s other group, Restless Road, still in the running with Jeff Gutt for the last spot.
Ultimately, it was revealed Restless Road had received the lowest amount of votes, and was therefore eliminated.
Cowell — who put the group together earlier in the season after the trio failed to make it individually — expressed his disappointment, and the act vowed this wasn’t the end for them.
Their ouster comes as a bit of surprise, despite a somewhat weak night on Wednesday, as they had never been in the bottom once all season.
Now Gutt will join Olivero and Alex & Sierra in the quest to win it all.
