Lilly Scott and Alex Lambert definitely should have stayed. Based on performance, Paige Miles should have gone. At this point the 2 front runners have to be Crystal Bowersox and Michael Lynche. The wildcard segment would certainly come in handy now. I hope that everybody now steps up their game, especially those who were able to get into the top 12 despite bad performances.
