I have an AGT theory. It's about what I like to call "The Semi-Finals Snub"

When the Semi-Finals come around, there's always one elimination that comes completely out of nowhere and that targets one act in particular... and that is the precieved frontrunner (or one of), usually by way of Judges' Choice.

Examples: Jonathan Burkin was eliminated over Joseph Hall, Acrodunk was eliminated having Voices of Glory and Fab Five being in JC. The Kinetic King and Snap Boogie (and in Snap's case, over Smage Bros. Riding Show), Lightwire Theatre over David Garibaldi, Aerial Animation AND Emil and Dariel (the latter over Miguel Dakota).

All of these choices, and the fact that Siro-A got eliminated after I thought they were completely untouchable leads me to believe that this theory is concrete truth. They get rid of one of the precieved frontrunners in order to boost ratings and/or bamboozle audience members and wanting the finale to be more unpredictable and therefore more interesting to watch.

What do you guys think?
