1. Asher - maybe I’m being a touch delusional, but Minivan does seem to actually appreciate him; watching an openly, unapologetically queer man come on this show and consistently kick ass every week is so satisfying, and being a consistent performer has likely helped win over some people that normally would pass him by. Add in the fact Reba adores him and he could have a pretty good shot to take it all home.   2. Karen - she’s crushing it on Facebook, is also a rock-solid live performer, and is the only one who doesn’t have to worry about vote splitting with a teammate. The main thing holding me back from placing her in the top spot in is the fact that of all the previous winners, only one of them has been a woman over the age of 30. She’s definitely good enough to overcome that potential hurdle, so if she ends up winning, I’ll be happy for her.   3. Nathan - if Facebook view/like ratios are accurate then he’s the least polarizing member of the group and an absolute star when he steps on stage to boot. The main problem he’s got: coach affiliation. While John is a perfect match for Nathan, the audience hasn’t backed John’s artists to get them higher than fourth place since before COVID. That said, he does have the advantage of being a public vote into the finale on a season without coach quotas, so he might just pull this off.   4. Josh - on paper, this should be his season to lose: he’s the last white male country act standing on a show that typically rewards artists exactly like him. Trouble is, Reba’s got Asher and D&S have Karen, both of whom the producers seem to be more invested in. If he gets a song that lets him cut loose vocally while also tugging on the heartstrings (and delivers), then it’s game over; whether that’s in the cards for him is another matter.    5. Bryan - when the man that seemed like a promising front runner for Team Legend in the pre-lives struggled with the transition to live TV despite tons of onstage experience, I was underwhelmed. That’s not a knock on Bryan’s talent whatsoever - he’s clearly got the talent and he’s an engaging performer with a knack for working the crowd. Unfortunately, song choices have bit him in the rear more than once, and I don’t see that changing next week. He might have a shot of edging past fifth place, but winning it all is a much longer shot after needing the Instant Save to make the finale in the first place. 

Add me! Love her successes post show

yes! I think the producers ask for a short list of 4-5 songs that each contestant would be OK with for an IS very early in the process. And they  get to choose the song, not the contestant. If you give them a random choice, you’re screwing yourself over, because they will pick it to liven things up.

Wow, Brad was definitely one of my picks early on to win this whole season. He was just...off the entire time. Can't say I'm upset about him losing, I'm not a huge Brad fan. Also happy Adam won it. One of the best things about All-Stars is seeing these once twenty year old douchebags from back in the day mature into likable adults. I haaaaaated Adam back in the day with his Queen Sarah Greyson jealousy. Adam would be the first to agree he hated himself too and now I really like him!   This was a pretty eh episode, just waiting for next week for everything to finally blow up with Laurel, Nicole, and Cara Maria lmao.
