Okay, I'm reading this thread the next morning, but here's my guess...

I noticed that they showed a close-up of Katie crying when Haeley was doing her goodbye song. My thought is that a few of the contestants spend much more time together than others, because in addition to regular rehearsals, they have to go through school/tutoring together due to their age and still being in high school. So they probably get a little more closer than others do.

Katie, Haeley and Aaron are the only three contestants still in high school, I think.
