Well, the majority of voters -- not just on AGT, but any reality show -- are females, usually southern housewives, who love country music and hate any and all minorities. I call them the "country cult". This is why Benton Blount, Marty Brown, Jimmy Rose, and Kevin Skinner made it so far. The country cult loves a white southern straight Christian family man with a sob story. This is why American Idol has had so many pretty white boy winners.

Of course, sometimes we, the smarter ones, get lucky, and beat out the country cult. It happened when we helped three Brits beat out Benton last year, and Kenichi and Taylor beat out Jimmy in season 8. We need to continue being this lucky otherwise this whole world is going to Hell.

Unfortunately though, sometimes things don't go according to plan. Look at this week's results. The bottom 4 were four minorities - a transgendered woman, two native Europeans, and two guys who could easily be mistaken for a gay couple. The middle 3 were also minorities - two black acts and one foreign Argentinian. But hopefully things turn around soon.
