Two Judge Cuts weeks to go before the live shows!

Since only 32 acts will remain after the Judge Cuts, each of the four main judges will get to pick one wildcard to come back. I was pretty disappointed by one of the eliminations in Judge Cuts #1 so one particular act is a frontrunner to me so far...

When the live shows begin, the four main judges will be using a mathematical rhetoric to decide who makes it through. The Top 5 will automatically move into the semifinals while the middle 3 will face the Dunkin' Save. That's where the four guest judges (I'll be calling them "side judges" from now on) come in again. Each round they will get to vote to save one of the three acts on the bubble. Then the four main judges will vote to save one of the last two like normal. This process will continue until the Top 10.

Top 10 MIGHT have a Dunkin' Save. I think we originally planned that it would. But nothing is for sure yet.
