the episodes of superbootcamp were broadcast on 25 september and on 27 september 2011. it showed 150 acts attend to the superbootcamp. the acts were split into 3 groups, 16-24s, over 25s and groups, in which to perform at mitsubishi electric halle, and each group was given one song by the judges: the 16-24s sang "born this way", the over 25s sang "true colors" and the groups sang "could it be magic". the judges then went on to cut over 80 acts, but called some soloists back, who were asked if they were interested in forming groups. all agreed and were workshopped to see which singers would work well together. they formed two groups. then eight groups of each category were built and they fought in a battle, only one act of each duet came into the next round. sometimes the judges end both through, but sometimes no one got through. the judges then chose the final 24 acts, based on these performances.
