Preferred Winners: 1. Bryan Olesen - This is the kind of guy I've been wanting on the show for a while now. No disappointments here. 2. Madison Curbelo - Wasn't expecting a returning artist to be up here in my favorites (or to have a realistic shot at making the finale). She's given phenomenal performances each round and she's been delightful to watch! Hope the audience continues supporting her journey.   Hoping they land in the finale: 3. Nathan Chester - The audacity of this man to devour that hard in battles, KO's, and PO's after having just an OK audition... Jesus. His ascent throughout the season is one of the most interesting ones we've had in a while. Would love to see him in the finale lineup. I finally got over him eliminating Val I guess. 4. L. Rodgers - Sometimes I forget how good this woman is just because she's gotten really limited screen time... but then I look back and yeeeesh. She's got an insane set of pipes there. Big underdog in this competition. 5. Asher HaVon - and on the note of insane pipes... Asher is a BEAST. The theatrics in every performance? Stunning and effortless. Genuinely hoping he makes it to the finale because it's well-deserved. The audience needs to get it together and respect him.   Love: 6. Josh Sanders - He's made it hard to not like him. Country singers like him are a dime a dozen here, but this one's got some natural grit and isn't too yeehaw. He's found a good balance and I've enjoyed his past few rounds.  7. Karen Waldrup - Crystal clear country vocals and solid stage presence. She's doing what she needs to do without the slightest stumble. She deserves her place in the top 12 for sure. 8. Nadège - Love love love her vocals and overall style. Last performance exposed some weaknesses and I know she's got maybe the hardest road to getting past the first round of the top 12, but I do enjoy her a whole lot.   Needs Improvement: 9. Maddi Jane - A solid but strange audition, okay battle, awful KO, and great PO... Maddi's great, but her performances have been so inconsistent. I 100% want to like her more. There's a missing piece I'm not 100% getting yet. But she's ALMOST there. 10. Tae Lewis - This guy is just not my thing. I didn't like his tone in the first few rounds and although I've been okay with his past few performances, his voice doesn't sound like a good fit for the songs he's getting. It feels forced and I just can't get into him. I hate to say it, but I wish he wasn't doing country. 11. Zoe Levert - I completely acknowledge and appreciate her upward trajectory in the past few rounds - it's been awesome to see! That being said, she hasn't quite reached the level of everyone else above her in my eyes.   Great Gowns: 12. Serenity Arce - Beautiful gowns.  

Emmy has definitely been given a lot of pimping—which is more than just performance order. The backstory, rehearsal footage, staging, and judge/mentor comments are additional ways TPTB help their favorites. The biggest advantage Emmy has over the other contestants is her famous grandmother, and the audience has been reminded of that connection all season.

This folks aren't big posters (to say the least)
