While I went to see Black Panther, I thought of some ideas. I thought that we will have a Top 48 and that four "Guest Judges" will select from our pool of choices one choice each to progress through to the Top 48 without performing, similar to how some acts were deemed good enough to advance in Seasons 5 to 7. Having eight acts guaranteed in the Semis, after we select a couple that we want to see in the "Vegas Rounds", we have a round similar to what was shown in Seasons 5 to 7, having the acts split into separate categories and perform therein. Then we have a deliberation to which acts we want to advance. For those who don't know math, 8 + 40 = 48. So we have to select forty of the nation's best talent to progress along with the four Golden Buzzers and four acts determined by our "Guest Judges" of sorts. Like in past seasons, we are allowed to select any or all of a select group and it must be majority vote. If however, the vote for a contestant is tied 2-to-2, then a member of the "Guest Judges" will break the tie. They as a collective will put one vote in to break the tie.

Also Black Panther was good.
