Predictions for next week's running order (the order in which the acts perform, NOT the results).

1. Voices of Hope Children's Choir

2. Yumbo Dump

3. Noah Guthrie

4. Quin and Misha

5. Glennis Grace

6. Da RepubliK

7. Makayla Phillips

8. Duo Transcend

9. Samuel J. Comroe

10. Front Pictures

11. The Savitsky Cats

12. The Sacred Riana

This week was way harder to predict than last week, mostly because the acts aren't nearly as strong. I even hard a hard time guessing which act would be last...I originally thought that Voices of Hope would be last, but choirs are generally closer to the beginning of the show. None of the singers are really "wow" enough to be placed last (I kind of considered Makayla Phillips because she's a Golden Buzzer, but she's probably not popular enough for the producers to put her last). I eventually settled on Riana because of both her popularity and the fear factor; it would be interesting to have a normal show and then to have it take a super dark turn right at the end. I also had no idea where to place the singers, so I just kinda guessed :P

I put The Savitsky Cats at 11 because that's where The Pompeyo Family was last year. I originally had Front Pictures and Duo Transcend switched, but I doubt they would put an auto-pass act right after another auto-pass (Makayla Phillips). I've noticed that the producers try not to put two of the same act right after one another (ex. a singer wouldn't be #2 if another singer is #1 or #3).

Da RepubliK is at #6 because that's where Junior New System was; same with Yumbo Dump/Human Fountains.
