X Factor: 2nd Live Show Results

Today we find out which act is eliminated and the rankings of the acts. All of the contestants are brought out and one by one, the contestant's names that are safe are called, until there are two acts left. The bottom 2 this week are Jason and Cece. I'm not too surprised by this, but I hope Cece gets through because I like her attitude, and honestly I like Jason but nobody would by his music.

Jason and Cece battle it out for the spot in the top 12. Both of them sing well, and I feel like Cece does best when she's under pressure. She's just really tough.

The judges must each state the name of the act they want to send home. Naturally, Demi says Jason and LA says Cece, so it's really up to the next two judges. Britney says Cece, but Simon wants to send Jason home, so it's a tie. We then go to deadlock, and the contestant with the most votes goes to the next round. The one we will be seeing perform again next week is.....Cece! Yay! Unfortunately Jason must leave the competition.

This is the part that I'm really interested in watching. Based on the rankings, I think the top 5 will probably remain the top 5 the whole time (with maybe a few minor shifts). I doubt anyone who is not in the top 5 will have a chance in winning the X Factor, so sorry Cece! I still love you though :/

The contestants all come out once again, minus Jason and Cece. Cece is automatically placed at 12th for surviving the sing-off and the rest wait for their name to be called. The ranking starts with Arin Ray in 11th place, and goes to the top 2, which are Carly Rose and Tate. After what seems like a century, the rankings are finally revealed as the following:

1. Tate Stevens (I didn't expect him to be this far up, but I'm happy for him.)
2. Carly Rose Sonenclar (She deserves to be up here. I'm not surprised.)
3. Vino Alan (Big shock, I didn't know America would like him. I now have to pay more attention to him)
4. Diamond White (Definitely deserves  to be this high up, she sang great and I bet the judges are glad she's back now :b)
5. Jennel Garcia (I've said it before, I'll say it again; I thought she would be ranked first. She is still in the top 5, but I'm no longer certain she will win.)
6. Emblem 3 (About where I expected them.)
7. Girl Group (Also where I expected them.)
8. Paige Thomas (She could've been a little higher, I'm a little surprised.)
9. Lyric 145 (Although I thoroughly enjoyed their performance of Supercali...., I'm not surprised to see them so low.)
10. Beatrice Miller (Obviously Britney was wrong to put her through and eliminate Diamond. Good Lord.)
11. Arin Ray (Ouch, thought he might be at least ahead of Beatrice. Oh well, I guess he won't last long either.)
12. Cece Frey (This isn't too surprising because her performance wasn't great and America hates her, but at least she's still in!)

Overall, I must say I'm pretty surprised by the outcome. I expected the top 5 to be more like Carly Rose, Diamond, Jennel, Paige and Emblem 3. I am actually quite happy that Tate is up there, as well as Vino. But this does mess with my prediction of Jennel being the winner. She could still move up but that's a lot of places until the first place. Next week is diva week and a double elimination!
