Who went home on Sept. 8?
Seven acts: Akira, Bird and Byron, Cameron Logsdon, Jesse Joe, Lara D, Rubén Roldán and Tyrone & Margo. Eleven performed, three won the vote and one took the buzzer.
That is the real cost of the combined format. In rounds one to three, acts had overnight to rally votes. Here the window closed inside the broadcast, and seven acts were cut in front of the live audience that had just watched them.
How did the quarterfinals run?
Forty-four acts entered this stage across four weeks starting Aug. 18, with three advancing each week on the public vote. A Live Golden Buzzer in round three went to 14-year-old singer Lai Noelle.

| 2 | Aug. 25 | Aug. 26 |
| 3 | Sept. 1 | Sept. 2 |
| 4 | Sept. 8 — combined, 8 to 11 p.m. ET | |
