So my assumption is that the judges will put through at most one guy. Probably they'll do exactly one, as selecting three girls would be a bit too blatant in balancing the demographics. Still, the performances themselves can matter. Let's see if I turn out to be right, after the cut!
I don't have much to say about the performances. Tatiana was as good a singer as she's annoying and fake in general, but choosing the same song as last time was a mistake. And fan favorite Anoop could've picked a better song as well...
Anyway, the judges have made their choices!
Randy is sad to inform Jasmine... that she'll be seeing a lot of them. She's made the finals!
Kara compliments Ricky, but he hasn't made it.
Paula offers both Megan and Tatiana encouragement, and says that they've decided to go with Megan. (And she then goes on to console Tatiana.)
One spot left, with four contestants remaining. Results after the break!
Now in overtime (sorry, people TiVo-ing the show!)
Simon informs Jesse that she's out, though she nearly made it. (There is momentary confusion as Jesse has trouble parsing "you nearly did" though Simon's accent.)
Paula tells Von that he didn't make it.
Down to Matt and Anoop. Simon tells Matt he's through. Sorry, Anoop.
Addressing Anoop on behalf of all the judges, Simon announces... that they're going to expand to a Top 13. Anoop is in.
Holy crap.
