That way we can wrap up boot camp in one fell swoop. As it is, I still have to wait until tomorrow to put up the last three groups&#8217; videos, but you can see the first eight groups and\u00a0hear what happened.<\/p>\n<p>First, the contestants were brought out in groups and they stepped forward and sang. We learned that Chris Rene&#8217;s sister, Gina, was also competing at boot camp; she&#8217;s good. One stand out was Stacy Francis, who stood out because she completely over sang. Totally. But I love her. Other favorites shines, like Drew Ryniewicz, Tora Woloshin, Caitlyn Koch (go Buffalo, NY!), Melanie Amaro, Marcus Canty, Rachel Crow, The Anser. Some forgot the words to their songs &#8230; oops.<\/p>\n<p>The judges whittled the 162 contestants down to 100, and the next day\u00a0they performed in groups of 6 to 8 people; the group acts within the groups performed together. Some acts shined, others, not so much. Here are the rest of the group audition videos; you can judge for yourselves.
