On the note of Triston's girlfriend getting so much attention this episode, I found this "lovely" Bible verse featured on her Instagram page:
‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.'
So yeah, that's a no from me.
As far as wild cards go, it made way more sense when the judges picked those before the live vote. Or when there was one person, like Jessica Sanchez, who was given a more fair shot as a result.
