Did anyone else think that the so called "undecided, let's vote tomorrow" thing was canned! It was so obvious due to the bad actors that the judges wanted to let the audience vote in the talent that they knew should go on (the Asians) so that they could vote in the dancers/gymnasts. I felt very sorry for all the other contestants that had to go through that. Why have this stupid semi-final round - just vote in the people they know will go to the finals and let's get this thing over. I was insulted by their thoughts that the judges could make us think this was not planned. BAD FORM!
Well, of course. They're just now figuring out that if they pick a music act each week, they're leaving the balance of the final show to the voters. Works much better to let the audience vote first. Then they can balance with a non-music act if necessary. Watch for All That as a wildcard in the finals.
