I disliked Jon Doronbos advancing to the third spot in the finals because of his NFL fame.

Puddles Pity Party (advancing because I suspect the judges just didn't give a damn anymore and had to chose someone). Jon Dorenbos placed 3rd because he was an amazing magician.

Puddles went through because he's unique, and as Fan said he's a fan favorite that was already popular before this season started. Difference of opinion I suppose, but Doronbos was a mediocre magician whose tricks have been performed hundreds of times, usually at children's birthday parties. The only reason he ever got as far as he did is because of his NFL fame.

Same for Puddles. A mediocre performer who only got on the live shows because he had an existing fan base. The judges should have seen him as the mediocre act he was and eliminated him before he got that far.

But like I say; that is my opinion.
