It's never been done well?

Huh. That cute guy in the hat I thought had left a long time ago. Looks like he's still around.

Karen will be singing "Heart Like a Truck" by Lainey Wilson.

Next up: Karen Waldrup from Team Dan + Shay.

Was Bryan doing "Africa?"

89% would send Nathan to the Lives.

Nathan got everyone on their feet . . . except for Chance, but he rarely stands. He's in.

.

And usually make it through.

Nathan will be singing "Oh! Darling" by the Beatles.

First up: Nathan Chester from Team Legend.

Tonight: Team Legend and Team Dan + Shay have their Playoffs.

Here we go!

Eric's longer-than-justified survival could have a case made. . . .

Well, the news just gets worse. Todd won the Veto . . . and despite Bayleigh being on the block, he didn't use it. One of Avery or Bayleigh is going home. Likely Avery. So she's going to get Vivek'd.

Okay, then. Assuming that these people don't know how to keep off social media, today should be when we see that they're either traveling to or getting to L.A., right? Usually, it's two weeks before the Lives that they start making their way out there.

Not if they keep their skills sharp for it. Don't forget that they should be flying in to get ready any time over the next week.

In fairness, the women had their chance multiple times, and they blew it each time. Avery, in particular, blew it last week.

And what, exactly, is wrong with him?

He had all of the coaches on their feet. Even Chance (who rarely stands up for anyone). And all of them recommended him going through. I don't think that this leak was meant to troll us. He's in.

And his team was Minivan-friendly, too. He just got screwed out of getting both of them to the finale by the stupid semifinal format.

John rarely keeps his Knockout steals, anyway (in fact, Celia was the only one whom he did keep, and she was a Cross-Battle steal), so no, that's no surprise.

Well, you were right. I don't think that anyone was expecting Tae to be leaked. He was definitely solid and very strong once more, though. I can see Dan + Shay putting him through after that performance. I really liked that.

Please just stop being vague and say what you know. Are Anya and Madison in or out? I'm guessing that Anya is out with the music release, but nothing on Madison.

I believe that whoever is leaked today is getting through. Think back to season twenty-three. Both artists leaked in the Playoffs got through those weeks. Sorelle was the leak for the Chance/Blake week. They got through. D. Smooth was the leak for the Kelly/Niall week. He got through. I believe that all the Playoff leaks for season twenty-four got through, too. So whoever gets leaked today I'm sure is getting through.
