Last night was a travesty. Three of the forty contestants were offered an encore. WHY? I was able to select 10 of the finalists simply by listing the the banter between them and the judges and MC. When Mike Anthony said the this girl is good but WAIT TILL MY MAN GETS UP HERE, something stinks. From the remarks that I heard afterwards, it seems that many people agree with me.
