Ryan starts with the guys and intros the video recap of Tuesday's performance show.
Ryan banters with the guys and then intros a video recap of behind the scenes guy outtakes/bloopers and confessionals.
Finally he brings up the teenagers Scotty and Robbie. Scotty is in, Robbie is out for now. Ryan reminds the boo-birds that he might have a wild card spot.
He calls up Clint, Jordan, and Jovany next. Clint and Jordan are out, as is Jovany but Ryan waits to tell him after he sends the other two away. Annoying.
Now Ryan throws to a video recap of ladies night.
Now he chats with the ladies about how hard this is.
Now we get the behind-the-scenes video stuff.
He calls up Pia and Lauren A. They're both in and join Scotty on the couch of glory.

Up next Brett and Paul. Brett is out and Paul is in.
And then Hailey and Rachel. Hailey is in. Rachel is out.
And finally we're on to Stefano and James. And James is the winner of the final slot in the public vote.
Now it's time for the wild card sing offs.
Six aspirants, three girls and three guys will get to sing.
Ashton is up first and sings "And I'm Telling You, I'm Not Going" from "Dreamgirls." It's full of attitude and sounds pretty good. It's not a knockout punch though.
Steven thought she brought it like she brought it before. Jennifer felt her passion. Randy still loves the attitude.
Stefano gets the next shot and sings "I Need You Now," by Smokie Norful and it sounds pretty great.
Randy loves Smokie Norful and loved that he picked that song. Jennifer says he came through and there's no way to not get it right or wrong with these kids. Steven says he brought it again and gilded his lily with passion.
Kendra is next and sings "Georgia On My Mind." She starts in a low, sultry place and then belts out the chorus and ends with a nice growl.
Randy thinks she rocked out. Only time for one judge now since they're running long.
Jovany gets another shot and sings "Angel," Jon Secada. He sings in Spanish and English and really goes for it.
Jennifer says he did the best he could do.
Naima gets the final shot for the girls. First Ryan brings the other girls-- Lauren T, Ta-Tynisa, Julie, and Rachel-- down for a goodbye first. Naima sings "For All We Know," by Donny Hathaway. Her nerves are pretty raw but she does pretty well but cries at the end.
Steven says she came from way deep down inside again and brought it to him.
And Robbie gets the last potential spot for the guys. Ryan brings the others- Clint, Brett, Tim, and Jordan-- down for their goodbye. He sings "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word," Elton John. It's a huge improvement over his take on "Angel" on Tuesday.
Randy says it was very nice and tender and says the Robbie he fell in love with is back. Randy says this is the toughest night ever.
Ryan brings all the wild card contenders to the stage.
The judges confer during the break and when we return they make the kids wait and show JLo's new video for "On the Floor."
And then another break.
