Obviously hoping for my only 3 favorites to go through (Courtney, Mochi, Shin), for the rest of them I didn't care as much. So first I was surprised to see Flau'jae sent home so early. Then I was shocked to see Mochi out of Top 5. Then I was shocked to see Mochi out of Top 6. Then I was shocked to see Mochi eliminated! :(

So gutted for him... He is talented, his act is interesting, he is such a nice guy and lovable character, wth happened? Only 8th place out of 12 acts? Hard to explain. Even if he gets the Wild Card and a chance to perform in a Semi Final, I will still be shocked to know that the American public placed him on 8th place here, in my mind he deserved Top 3.

On a positive note, glad that Shin and Courtney at least made it. Congrats to all the other acts as well!

Another thing - I really really dislike the JC way of voting. Why don't all the judges write their choice on a piece of paper before the reveal, and then just flip the paper when Tyra calls them, with a short explanation on their choice and let's move on. There would be less pressure, less influence by previous choices and we would get more of 3-1 or 4-0 results. This way, it always converges to 2-2 no matter what, because they are all cowards. Simon Cowell? More like Simon Cowardell. That new JC thing is actually a great idea. Simon actually would have voted for Mochi if he didn't have to be the decider.
