Advancing:

Angelica Hale

Celine Tam

Merrick Hanna (could be Dunkin Save)

Dunkin Save/Judges Choice:



Mandy Harvey – Dunkin Save (may make top 3)



Light Balance – Win judges choice (if unimpressive, will lose JP)

Kechi – Lost judges choice (toss up, if she crushes it, she wins JP)

Eliminated:



Christian Guardino



Diavolo

Pompeyo Family Dogs

<p class="MsoNormal">Not carved into stone, but I cannot see any of the eliminated acts pulling out a surprise win. Pompeyo has already been eliminated and there is already one dog act in the finals. In the Stairwell has had their moment and now need to go back to their barracks. Colin Cloud was good but many people struggle to understand just what it was that he did. Diavolo is fun to watch but eventually people realize they are just really throwing themselves off of platforms hoping someone catches them. The only act that has a chance is Christian and that is only if he steps up his performance. I don't think he can do it and even if he does, it will be too little too late.

<p class="MsoNormal">Merrick and Mandy are toss ups and could go either way, but in any case I think both are in the finals. Kechi and Light Balance are also toss ups and will be decided by how good their respective performances are; but I think right now, Light Balance holds the edge.

Light balance is a tad stronger than "holding the edge." i think they have the control power.
