team leaders took turns approaching it. Since this was a team competition, it was likely that two groups would end up with the same song. Natalie's team, by sheer bad luck, ended up picking the same song as Tessa's group. The strength difference between the two groups was obvious, and most members of Group Six looked disappointed.
