Did you hear about the new format? Once they get past the Hollywood round, the judges will pick 10 women and 10 men. Then they'll stay separated, with one night dedicated to all the men singing, one night to all the women singing, and then the 3rd night to be the results show to determine which man and woman will be voted off. That way the final 12 will consist of an even mix of 6 men and 6 women.
All I know is that AI4 doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting me to watch whatever round will be on Weds nights at 8pm. That's LOST time for me!
