    Wow no surprises for the top 3 and wild cards.

    Is it just me or the wild card group seem to be a lot better than the ones who actually made it?

    Top 3: Lil, Scott and Jorge.

    Wild cards:
    Group 1: Tatiana Del Toro, Anoop Desai, Ricky Braddy
    Group 2: Matt Giraud, Jasmine Murray, Megan Corkrey, Jesse Langseth
    Group 3: Von Smith

    I call BS for having for Group 2 having the most WCs.

    Edited: Sorry for one of the contestants!

    All I can say is that the judges have completely lost it after putting Tatiana in the wildcard round over Kristin. Completely lost it.

    Anybody else seriously disappointed with the wild cards? Von Smith made it to the wild card, but Kristen didn't?! I wasn't surprised Tatiana made it, because as much as I don't like her she's a good singer. But most of those people do not deserve it. Kristen was one of the very best!

    I'm glad Anoop, Rick, Tatiana and Megan were chosen to the wildcard. I dont know how Von got in front of Kristin, Kendall, Mishovonna, or Jackie.

    Someone from group 2 should move over to favor least one of the girls from group 3. Felicia should be in instead, Kendall maybe. but Megan? No, unless she drops the whole weird dance moves, she is actually the female version of Wagner-Trug. Only slightly better singing.

    WCs I hope to move on: Anoop, Von/Jesse... Tatiana? (I have NO choice!)

    The only wild cards I like even a little bit are Megan and Jazmine. I could care less about everybody else. Horrible, horrible choices for the wild cards.

    I actually thought this season was going well until I saw the W.C. list. They judges ALWAYS talk about currency and who could win, and frankly I don't see any of the W.C. making it to the top 3. I guess I'm dissapointed b/c I wanted either Mishavonna, Kristen or Felicia back to at least here them again. I miss the old format now. I think it works better overall.

    I think this is a minority opinion but I like the WC ones than the actual 9 people that got through. Among the 9 people that got in, I only like Adam and Jorge. The WCs I like are Anoop, Von, Jesse, Ricky and *gasp* Tatiana.

    I am not surprised on the results so I wont comment on that but the wildcard round Im sort of stunned on. Heres how I would rank them:


    Glad to see back: Anoop, Jasmine (I liked her and thought she needed a 2nd chance), Ricky


    They did ok/dont care either way: Matt, Tatianna (she has an ok voice but WHY because of the drama involved)


    Just...WHY?!: Von, Megan, Jesse (sorry I never warmed up to any of them).

    Me too. Although honestly I could switch out Taylor for Felicia easily because they both did a A.K. song and I think did just as good of a job really. I think because she was the first female and alot of other more memorable people went after her, they remember her as not doing all that great.

    I so do too! Now it all just depends on these contestants pleasing us with ONE weeks worth of songs since the judges always seem to pick people I dont like all that much. Before, they had week after week to please us and show us what they can do and then since only 1 person went home it was usually someone who did HORRIBLE. Not 10-11 people who 'did ok' because 1 or 2 others did GREAT.

    My only real complaints about the WC's are Von and Anoop. I would have liked to see Ju'not and Kristen get another shot. I know everyone(including myself) thinks that Tatiana is annoying as hell, but she can sing. I doubt she'll be one of the last 3 no matter how well she does tomorrow because of her rep. Other than that, I am prety satisfied with it so far. I'm personally hoping Matt, Ricky, and Jesse put together some great performances and get through.

    I'm going to be bitter about this for a while. I ctually overall like the Top 9, but only really like Anoop and Jesse for the W.C. Tatiana is good, but I think the others i mentioned deserve it a bit more. What I feel is bad about this format is that, like you guys said, a person can get through with one good performance, not 3 like previously. What if some of these people are awful from now on, we really don't have much to base their talent on, just about a minute-and-half. Also, if we liked someone who didn't make it we would have more performances to enjoy. I thought this format did better not to put the girls against the guys and vica versa, but its actually worse because there is no 6-6 split. Personally I was sad because I like the girls more overall, but I know more guys will make it through. The top 12 looks to only have 4-5 girls, since I know the judges love Matt and Anoop, and Megan. It seems they just put other people b/c they needed to. I'll be open, but I'm guessing that at least Matt, Anoop or Megan will be in the top 12. That's my 2 cents =P

    So tomorrow night will basically be another elimination night right, where they will take those 8 and narrow it down to 3? I mean its not like they are singing again and then will get the results next week? Ive totally forgotten how its been in seasons past.

    I hope Tatianna goes home just so I dont have to here her go on and on about how great it is to get through for 5 minutes where as if shes eliminated Ryan will just move on to the next contestant and she has no choice but to sit down lol. I know it sounds mean but I just cant stand her!

    America got it right this week. The top 3 were exactly who I hoped it would be. And with the exception of Michael, I think that America has been pretty accurate with their votes so far. I would have replaced Michael with Ricky Braddy, and obviously we know that he was chosen in the Wild Card group, so I guess it evens out.

    As for the rest of the Wild Card group, I have some mixed reactions. Some of them definitely deserve a second chance. Others... Not so much. But then again, thinking about how bad most of the people have been these last few weeks, I'm not really too upset about most of them not making it through as opposed to the ones that were picked.

    All I can ask for now is for the right people to make it into the final few spots. That way, we can move past these terrible first few weeks, and have a much stronger final 12.

    After I read this comment I looked at the show again and froze the picture when they showed the group before the first pick and there were only 20 people of the 27 eliminated in the past 3 weeks.

    Behind the couch: Megan, Nick (Norman), Brent, Ju'Not, Tatiana, Matt B, Alex, Kristen, Ricky and Jesse.

    On the couch: Jasmine, Anoop, Nathaniel, Kendall, Taylor, Matt G, Arianne, Jackie, Felicia and Von.

    People who didn't show up:

    Ann Marie Boskivich

    Stevie Wright

    Casey Carlson

    Stephen Fowler

    Jeanine Vailes

    Kai Kalama

    Mishavonna Henson.

    I wonder why...

    The ones from group 3 are all present alright. It's really suspicious for them not to call all of them back for reunion's sake, if not to call them back for the WC.

    Also 5 of the 7 absentees are girls. Has this show become sexist all of the sudden?
