*SPOILERS* Who is the Wildcard on the Season 12 Quarter-Finals #1?

WARNING: This post contains spoilers for the August 15 episode’s Wildcard identity and performance.

Okay, so I know I messed up with the Merrick Golden Buzzer thing last week, but I have a couple of direct sources for today’s little tidbit. I don’t have permission to reveal said source’s identity at the moment, but I have been informed about today’s contestant pre-tape I mentioned a few days ago. As I suspected, it was indeed this week’s Wildcard, and I can now inform you that this act is…

Bello Nock!

I know there has been some speculation that he had yet to hear about his fate, since he’s been tweeting the #BringBelloBack hashtag all week, but I can assure you that it’s all part of the surprise and he is fully aware that he’s back on the show. Not too surprising IMO, especially since I’ve heard he was personally asked by producers to audition in the first place.

Now, like I said, I know I got some of you excited for nothing with the Merrick prediction from last week. Just to assure you that I know what I’m talking about in this case, I can also reveal that his performance that will be aired tomorrow is called the “Wheel of Death” and involved him spinning around on a giant contraption. Not sure if it’ll be enough to get him through, but I’m sure a lot of people will be happy he got to return for at least one performance. Oh, and the act was filmed inside the Dolby, not outdoors like some speculated, so I assume the reasoning for filming it in advance was because the set would take to long to set up and tear down during a live show with such a limited time frame.

That’s about it for now, but I can also announce that I will FINALLY be posting my rant about the auditions and Judge Cuts before showtime tomorrow. So check back soon for that! 🙂
