“I predict a man will win,” Tyler jokes before revealing his rankings, alluding to the controversy that all 10 finalists are male acts. “I have been going back and forth about the Top 2. Honestly, flip a coin,” he adds. Here are Tyler’s thoughts on his rankings, from first place to 10th place:
1.) Drew Lynch is charming, funny, has amazing material, is a marvelous tale of triumph and redemption. All that put in a blender makes him the one to win.
2.) Paul Zerdin is a total professional, able to make people of all ages laugh with his highly impressive and revolutionary ventriloquism acts. He is highly in contention to win.
3.) The Professional Regurgitator is an incredible variety act and has been able to mix it up, but could his polarizing act keep him from the win?
4.) Piff the Magic Dragon‘s huge fan base and wonderful blend of magic and comedy makes him a potential dark horse for the prize.
5.) Oz Pearlman has mind-bending tricks and likewise he’ll have an awesome one this time around, but will it be enough against the others in my Top 5?
6.) The CraigLewis Band are the best vocalists in the competition, but the “AGT” “singing bias” will keep them away from the prize.
7.) Uzeyer Novruzov nearly avoided disaster after falling from his ladder last time, so he has that much more to climb in order to bounce back.
8.) Benton Blount checks off the likeable everyman singer/guitar player, but the “AGT” public may be sick of singers constantly winning so he may be in trouble.
9.) While he’s a good magician, Derek Hughes is not memorable, especially since Piff and Oz are still in the competition.
10.) Since half of the “AGT” finalists are comedic acts, someone has to flounder. I don’t think Gary Vider is memorable enough, being a blatant ripoff of Taylor Williamson and not having a single joke that landed.

‘America’s Got Talent’ poll: Did any of the judges waste their Golden Buzzers?
Remember that coming out on top doesn’t just mean answering that week’s questions correctly. You also have to use your three big bets (500 points and two of 200 points) strategically to score the most game points. If you bet on a longshot who pulls off an upset, you can really rack up the points, so don’t take them for granted.
