If you ask me, the locks here are Johnny Manuel, Merrick Hanna, and Will Tsai. It's safe to say we'll also see Kechi Okwuchi again, if only to round out the solo musician acts.

The other three spots are a bit tougher. It'd be easier to narrow down the definitely-nots, honestly: I'd say we can safely wave goodbye to Artyon & Paige, Edna & Mia Moore, German Cornejo Dance Company, Veronica Gonzalez, and, as much as I hate to say it, Sirqus Alfon (no way they move forward, with Simon's stubbornness.)

As for the rest? Well, considering the way they established Maxim and Maria Popazov, one of them will move forward, which is likely Maxim, so that's 5. I'd expect one more musical act, and I'm more comfortable saying DaNell Daymon & Greater Works over In The Stairwell.

The last spot is a real toss-up between the remaining acts: Nick Uhas, Henry Richardson, Elena and Sasha, and Pompeyo Family Dogs. I'll go out on a limb and say Pompeyo Family, because dogs.

So, assuming the last two acts are unseen and likely never to be seen again, our final lineup is:
 * Johnny Manuel
 * Kechi Okwuchi
 * DaNell Daymon & Greater Works
 * Merrick Hanna
 * Maxim Popazov
 * Will Tsai
 * Pompeyo Family Dogs

I'm grasping for straws with that last pick, considering it can be tossed up with about three or four other acts, but I'm mostly thinking realistically here. As for the GB, probably Johnny Manuel.

If I picked who went through and not the producers, I'd substitute DaNell Daymon and Pompeyo Family with Sirqus Alfon and Elena and Sasha, but Sirqus Alfon is never gonna happen and there are too many acrobatic acts in the lives to count by now.
