The X Factor 2011 Spoilers: Behind-The-Scenes Gossip, Will InTENsity Stay Together? Judges To Stop Eliminating At Semifinal

News, Spoilers

After a surprising elimination on the first X Factor results show, the kids of InTENsity were doing their best to get over being cut from the show.

Francesca Marcilio says, “I was kind of surprised, but we worked really hard and have so many fans so we’re just excited to see what’s going to happen in the future for our group.”

The group said that they plan on staying together despite being grouped together by the judges and the fact that they all live in various states across the country.

“it’s very difficult to have America connect with more than one person,” Paul Abdul says of having two of her groups in the bottom two.

Nicole Scherzinger told E! Online she will also perform on the show.

“I can’t wait. I have an album coming out soon. I would perform every night.”

Finally, as for those wondering when America will truly be in charge of sending contestants home (instead of just picking the bottom two and then having the judges make the ultimate choice), Simon Cowell said that this would change around the “probably by the semifinal.”
