Arin Ray and Beatrice Miller eliminated from ‘The X Factor’

It was a big night on ‘The X Factor’ when a double elimination had Arin Ray and Beatrice Miller packing their bags and heading home. This leaves only 8 contestants in the running as season 2 heads towards the finals. Co-hosts Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez revealed that the two young performers were at the bottom of the score board based on viewer votes and Ray was sent home immediately for coming in tenth place. Britney Spears tried to soften the blow of rejection by telling her: “You know, I think you should just take this as a learning experience and this isn’t the last people are going to hear from you.”

Miller was sent home after judges Spears, Cowell, L.A. Reid and Demi Levato came to a 3-1 vote to send her home instead of other low scorer of the evening CeCe Frey. Spears was again kind in her parting words saying: “Sweetheart, you are so young. You have so far to go. This is just the beginning for you, and the song you sang tonight was excruciating and hard, and you’re a true star in my eyes and you will always be.”
