On this past week's edition of "The X Factor," we saw what was one of the cruellest situations we have seen in some time -- Paula Abdul being forced to eliminate yet another group just one week after seeing her first group go home.
Now, Lakoda Rayne is the only group remaining in the competition -- and they told Fox All Access in a new interview that they are ready for whatever comes their way:
"It's been hard because we've never really been used to getting so much feedback from people, and you're not always going to get good feedback ... As the nerves set in, we're able to pull each other back to a ground level. We tell each other we are here for a reason. The judges put us together for a reason despite what other people say."
If there is one major thing that band has going for them, it's that their primary fan base last week (in country music fans) may have been watching the CMA Awards instead of voting -- and with that, they are going to get an opportunity this week.
