I hope he's a wild card.

Did you notice how Tatania kept reaching out to Danny and he was ignoring it? Probably a smart move as it would be all over youtube that they were a couple

Originally Posted By Dabob2 Alexis and Danny were almost locks for the male and female spots (and I agreed they belonged), and Ryan said something about Anoop being very close in the voting to Michael. That makes Anoop a good bet for a wild card slot; based on what the judges have said, Ricky and possibly Stephen might get one too. Even Tatiana might if they want that drama back. But I still don't know how many wild card picks there are all together. When they showed the 12 for the next round, I only recognized 3 or 4. They have quite a few in there with severely limited face time in the past. Which probably dooms them unless they really blow away the competition.

Originally Posted By mater4 I am good with the 3 picks too. I was surprised that Michael had more votes over Anoop. I think Anoop should be the wild card pick. He has a good voice. YEAH! Goodbye Tatiyana. She has a great voice but her dramatic personality is too much for me.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 <There are three wild-card spots.> Yes, but how are they chosen? Do the judges/producers just pick 3 and that's it? Or do they pick more than 3 and have another competition show to choose the three via phone votes?

I'm not sure how many in total will be selected; my guess would be 12 out of the 27 remaining. So I'm betting we'll see Tatiana again.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 I thought another show of 12 would make sense too; officially, they could say each judge chose 3.
