That’d probably have to go to the cutdown from 48 to 36 quarterfinalists (imo Season 9 has the best format to date). I would say it's the fact that the producers aren't doing anything to better the show like letting us see montaged acts in full, cutting down on the sob stories or reducing the amount of bad acts they air over good. Instead they're doing all this unneccesary bullshit like cutting down the amount of acts performing while keeping the number of QF spots the same. I would rather see montages of acts I like rather of not at all.
