So, who was sent packing on Wednesday? Let’s get to the results… As the evening progressed, the judges bade farewell to the following three acts: Carmen Carter, GFORCE and Bir Khalsa.

As the acts in 7th, 8th and 9th place, Ansley Burns, Emerald Belles and Sophie Pecora were all eligible for this week’s Dunkin’ Save. (“These acts are facing their worst nightmare,” Terry Crews pleaded. “Do something about it, America!”) Voters chose to save… Ansley!

That means Alex Dowis, Luke Islam, Kodi Lee, Voices of Service, Messoudi Brothers, Greg Morton and Ansley Burns are proceeding to the live semifinals. (Click here to browse photos of this season’s semifinalists.)
