Does anyone remember Metal Mulisha's QF reception by the judges? Could play a big part. Of the eliminated only Dorothy and Hara got standing ovations. Dorothy's 3 were obviously more of a courtesy thing, while Howie genuinely really liked Hara (even voting for him in Judges' Choice).

I think, like Mulisha last year, it will just be a diversity choice. I feel like Steven, Clairvoyants, Blake, and probably Kadan will be Semifinalists, so Hara seems really unlikely for me. But he definitely has the best chance of those who we have seen so far.
