Women's side was harder to figure, but Alexis sang herself into the Final 12. Tatiana may still make it as a wild card. Depends on if the judges make it one wildcard per group, and if they try to balance out the male/female ratio. If so, then they may put the dramatic Tatiana, who sang well enough, back into the competition. Slight outside shot for eye-candy Casey if they want to give her a second chance. If gender balance isn't stressed, Anoop may yet get in. Anoop better hope against Affirmative Action wildcards.
