'''This is looking to be a very interesting episode. A lot of dark horses for sure. Long post incoming as I’ll be going into Week 4 as well.'''

Week 3:

Singers: Carmen Carter, Mackenzie, Ansley Burns, Jacob Norton, Stephanie’s Child Instrumentalists: Gonzo, Marcin Patrzalek, Patrizzio Ratto Acrobats: Duo Maintenant, Edson and Leon, Andrei and Alexander Dance: Light Balance Kids, Revolution Queens Animal: Cirque du Sewer, Ray Underwood and Magic Other: Sideshow Opera, Greg Morton, Nicholas Wallace '''Buzzers: I think this week potentially has a lot of buzzes. Gonzo, Patrizzio, Cirque du Sewer, Sideshow Opera, Andrei and Alexander and Stephanie’s Child could all get buzzed. As bad as Ansley was, I don’t think she’s getting buzzed.'''
 * Carmen has been pushed a lot in the teasers but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s going through. It’s interesting to see both her and Mackenzie on the same week as they both have similar storylines. I could see both making it but I think one of them is the surprise elimination. Ansley was stopped once again and this time, it wasn’t that good. I know they cut out the end but I think she’s getting either montaged or semi-montaged for LB kids. I said I wouldn’t underestimate no-auditions anymore so I think Jacob might get a full audition this time around. Stephanie’s Child may also get a full if their voices are as good as Gingzilla’s but they seem like a joke act.
 * Gonzo’s the most likely to get montaged out of the three. I don’t think he can do much more with his act. Patrizzio had one of my favorite auditions but I’m also not sure if he can step things up. Just like Andy, Adaline, and Gonzo; his surprise gimmick no longer works. Marcin was used in the teaser for this episode so I think he’s getting a full. Another one of my favorite auditions and I’m excited to see what he does.
 * Edson and Leon were the leak so they’re definitely going through. Just like the instrumentalists, there are three acts that are very similar which makes me think ⅔ are getting montaged. 
 * Being the successors to Light Balance, there’s no way they aren’t getting a full. Unless they step things way down like Verba, they’re probably safe. Revolution Queens are also probably getting a full and I could actually see the two montaged acrobat acts going before them instead of Edson and Leon.
 * Ray and Magic could get a full or semi-montaged segment before Edson and Leon due to both being “old” acts. Cirque du Sewer could also get another full but I think they’ll be montaged for or alongside Sideshow Opera.
 * Now that the Sentimentalists are out, Nick seems to be their push for the “creepy act”. This week’s episode showed that long segments didn’t always mean a pass to the live shows but Nick being the only magician next week gives me hope he’ll at least get a full. Greg is also the only comedian this week and has been featured in both teasers. I said that he’s my pick for the GB since Ellie is also a comedienne but with the full lineup out, I’m a bit conflicted. Sideshow Opera is the only danger act this week and might get a full seeing how their act is a lot different than before.

Locks: Carmen Carter, Greg Morton, Edson and Leon, Light Balance Kids

Likely: Revolution Queens, Nicholas Wallace, Marcin Patrzalek

Unlikely: Mackenzie, Patrizzio Ratto, Sideshow Opera, Jacob Norton, Duo Maintenant, Andrei and Alexander, Ansley Burns

No Chance: Gonzo,  Ray Underwood and Magic, Stephanie’s Child

'''Note: I actually think Revolution Queens is a likely candidate for the Golden Buzzer. Mackenzie is going to be the surprise elimination. If he does get eliminated, I see him being the wildcard. I would actually be satisfied with this lineup.'''

Week 4: 

Singer: Benicio Bryant, Charlotte Summers, Voices of Service, Emane Beasha, Callie Day, Jordan Ravi Magic: Eric Chien, SOS, Zac and Stan Dancers: Marina Mazepa, Ben Trigger, DM Nation Other: Jackie Fabulous, Dominguez Poodles, Jonathan Burns, Viktor Moissev '''There are still two spots left in this week and there are three acts that got full auditions yet to be revealed that being Human Fuse, IDEGO, and Kara with a K. I could easily see Kara being in Week 4 alongside Jackie. Human Fuse could also be used as part of a potential danger montage alongside Sideshow Opera.'''
 * Wow 3 child singers that got full segments in one episode. All of them probably would’ve gone through had they not been on the same week as each other. Charlotte is my favorite out of the three and she’s the one I think will make it. Emane also might get through just because she’s an opera singer. Benicio is going to be the surprise cut. I think Voices of Service is getting a full segment due to their storyline. Callie and Jordan may or may not get a semi-montage but seeing how competitive the singing category is this week, I don’t think they’re making it.
 * Eric is the most likely out of the bunch to make it through, he’s been a frontrunner since the beginning and I don’t think he’ll bomb. There has already been some controversy over SOS’ illusion being edited in post production, he might still get a full but a montage seems more likely. In the case that Eric and SOS bomb, Zac and Stan could get a full but once again, it’s not likely.
 * DM Nation went through in Season 10 and I just don’t see them pulling that off again. Marina got a lot of focus during the first teaser and she’s easily the best out of the three dancers. Ben had the whole segment with the Golden Buzzer but unless he pulls an Oscar Hernandez or gets the GB, he’s done.
 * Jackie is my current pick for the Golden Buzzer, I think Jay will like her a lot. The Poodles will get through just because they’re a family dog act and they almost always make it through nowadays. Jonathan is in a tough spot because there’s another comedian, contortionist, and magician that week. I really want him to go through but it doesn’t seem likely. If Viktor Moissev is anything like Viktor Kee, he could make it through if a lot of my fixed picks bomb.

Locks: Voices of Service, Eric Chien, Marina Mazepa, Jackie Fabulous

Likely: Charlotte Summers, Emane Beasha, Dominguez Poodles

Unlikely: Benicio Bryant, Ben Trigger, SOS, Zac and Stan, Jonathan Burns, Viktor Moissev

No Chance: Callie Day, Jordan Ravi, DM Nation
