I actually felt bad for the girl (if only Politics wasn't her main content) Yes, she is disliked to a greater extent than last year's stand-up comedian Drew Lynch. I don't need to read a lot of comments on social media to tell this. The large number of dislikes (and low like-dislike ratio) on Lori's audition and quarterfinal videos indicates the large number of haters she has. Lori Mae Hernandez is America's Got Talent's equivalent of Nick Hagelin on The Voice. People will be rejoicing over Lori's elimination. Lori will not go down as one of my least favorite contestants on AGT, most of them are annoying singers.

Interestingly, Ryan Stock & AmberLynn's quarterfinal video now has acquired the most dislikes out of any live performance video (about 8,800 dislikes atm), but those dislikes don't necessary translate to haters. That video has 5 million+ views and the video omitted the part of the performance most people wanted to see.

Both HARA and ThroWings qualify as wildcards. HARA just needed some more magic tricks in his quarterfinals routine to gain more votes from viewers. ThroWings fell short due to their lack of popularity and possibly Simon's comment during the live shows. Knowing in advance these acts' chances of advancing were hampered before the result shows prevents me from feeling bitter (which seems most fans of reality shows want to find a reason to be upset).
