In Season 8, who gets into the wildcard show? The producers have been rather vague about the details, but over the week-end, some information surfaced. After the results show on Wednesday, all four judges will pick 2 contestants from the top 36. They also may throw in an extra contestant so that the number of Wildcard singers will be between 8 or 9. The producers made it clear that the audience should make no assumptions as to who will make the final round. It could be anyone, even people who did not make the Top 36 the first time around.
Will you be watching on Thursday? Do you have your favorites for the Wildcard round? American Idol is counting on you to watch and they are hoping the mystery of the contestants will bring back some of the excitement of the past seasons.
