Avantgardey's UNBELIEVABLE dance is unlike anything you've ever seen!
20 young women from Japan. I liked the audition more.

Avantgardey impresses the crowd with SPECTACULAR dance!
3 dance groups may split the vote, preventing any from winning . They were a wild card save last week, so I'm not very hopeful. Plus, an amazing dance group, The Mayyas, won last year. IF there's producer interference in the "results", it won't be a dance group this year.
Bottom 6.

I fear that the winner will be the 82nd Airborne Division Chorus. They're good, but more importantly current military, veterans and militarists are a huge voting block. Feed the Pentagon, nothing else matters.
Bottom 6.

I can't know for sure, but the results fit with my speculation about multiple dance and singing acts canceling each other.
#1 - Dog act
#2 - Magician
#3 - The best that a dance act did. What if they'd been the only dancers in the final?
#4 - The best that a singing act did. What if she'd been the only singer in the final?

Oh well, if the vote tallying is legit whachya' gonna do?
