For two more X Factor finalists, Thursday night marked the end of the road as Season 3 of this Fox competition sputters toward its forgettable conclusion.

Who will be moving on and who’s headed home?

The bottom vote-getter … was Ellona Santiago.

She had a solid night performing the night before, but didn’t really stand out, so perhaps audience just assumed she’d be safe? In any case, no one is.

Ever.

With Santiago gone, three safe acts were Restless Road, Alex and Sierra, and Jeff Gutt, leaving Rion Paige and Carlito Olivero to sing for their lives.

 

In the end, Rion’s “The House that Built Me” by Miranda Lambert couldn’t top Carlito’s “U Make Me Wanna” by Usher. So Carlito moves on. Sorry, Rion.

Elsewhere, Simon dedicated the episode to Nelson Mandela, Emblem 3 performed and sounded just like Emblem 3, and Little Mix sang as well.

What do you think of this week’s X Factor results? Did the right acts go home Thursday night? Or were they robbed? Share your comments below!
