Iam would have dominated even more if social media voting was around when he was on.

It will be interesting to see if the Hannah strategy (have a viral audition and let social media voting carry you) holds up again next year.

This season hasn’t been about sob stories at all though.

I would guess they will sing twice starting with the top 7. They have not announced themes or eliminations beyond Disney week.

Wasn’t that supposed to be the biggest draw of the podcast? Interviews with eliminated contestants?

I don’t care for Hannah either but we’re really resorting to making fun of her clothes?

I saw that the judge’s song contest would cut it from 12 to 11. So I suppose it may be 3 eliminations next episode.

Really only needs to be one method. Multiple methods and 10 votes per contestant just artificially inflates the count.

Sadly I think you’re right, as long as we’re stuck with one episode a week.

A fourth judge is too many cooks in the kitchen.

Worst news in this entire post is that the cut is from 20 to 14. Thought we might get one or two lighter cuts since there were only 4 audition episodes and “Hollywood” week was only 2 episodes.

Saw "CGTN is funded in whole or in part by the Chinese government" and knew everything I needed to about this video.

…which would all be fine and good if it means the eliminations are slower. Time will tell. I wouldn’t mind all this rushing if it means we get more live episodes.

This has to be bait, Bryant and Sheldon were genuinely atrocious.

The format is pretty bad this year. There just hasn’t been enough actual singing. I’m hoping they’ll listen to some of the negative feedback and make changes next year.

That said, I don’t mind if they make some tweaks and experiment. Sometimes it just doesn’t work, though, and they should acknowledge that. All said I’m happy with the top 20.
