From the beginning it was obvious who the "weak links" were in the Season 10 competition, and in the first three episodes they were eliminated, as it should be. That doesn't always happen; sometimes it is rather head-scratching to figure out how the judges determined who to send home. The remaining Season 10 contestants all seem to have a legitimate shot at being finalists, so it will be fun to see how it plays out. I hope we can count on the judges making their decisions based on the contestants' actual talent, rather than being swayed by an appealing back story. Nobody wants to see a deserving contestant losing out.
