Solid lineup (except for Hans) and I am very curious who will win since of the acts from the listings really have no "obvious frontrunners". Shocked that Kodi Lee didn't get in. Excited to see Ben Blaque, Spencer, Ben Hart, Michael Grimm, Mike Yung, Sandou Trio and Ryan Niemiller again.

I think either Brian King Joseph or V.Unbeatable will win. Some very surprising and random choices in this lineup especially Sandou Trio Russian Bar, Ben Blaque, Spencer Horsman and Dan Naturman and probably the most random of all is Hans. Seriously why was he brought on? Ben Blaque and Spencer Horsman coincidentally both performed and were eliminated in the Season 7 wildcard episode. The season should be interesting to watch. I'm surprised acts like Team iLuminate, Mandy Harvey, Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. and Terry Fator weren't in the lineup A part of me thinks it has partially to do with the judges/producers wokeness of wanting to include an abashedly flamboyantly gay act in, plus he was a Guest Judge on Australia's Got Talent somehow. Other than that I am not sure. Maybe everyone else they asked declined or wanted to wait until another season to compete? I don't think it's that deep lol. Hans was a popular act, that's the more than likely reason. Also, a lot of acts probably just declined (ex. Lindsey Stirling was asked to be on Champions Season 1 and she didn't want to)
