The Bootcamp lasted for four days.
In the first day, the 87 candidates sang to the judges in groups. Each group had to choose one song from the list which has been given to them. They had to talk-over which part of the song will sing which candidate. After the candidates sang in front of two judges, they eliminated some of the candidates which did not convinced them that they have "The X-Factor". Only half of the candidates survived the first day of Bootcamp.
In the second day of the Bootcamp, the candidates were taught some dance moves. No candidate was eliminated, because they all danced as they had been taught. After this task, the judges threw a big party for all the candidates in the Austria Trend Hotel, Ljubljana (the same place, as the Bootcamp shows were made). The candidates could join the party, or go to sleep to one of the rooms in Hotel. The candidates knew that the next day could be the most important day of all, because they had to sing in front of the judges for the last time and then the judges would choose 6 of them from each group (Teens, Adults and groups) to continue in the competition. But most of them chose to join the party.
The third day was the most important day of all in Bootcamp days. The candidates may sing in front of the judges for the very last time. After that, the judges just had to decide which 6 candidates from each category (Teens, Adults and groups) are the best and may to enter the Judge`s houses (Finalna eliminacija).
In the fourth day the candidates found out is they are chosen for TOP 6 in they`re group. After this only six Teens, six Adults and six groups could enter Judge's House (Finalna eliminacija) for the final elimination before the Live shows (Oddaje v živo).
