(Spoiler alert! Don’t read if you don’t want to know 02:00 Creature 13:00 Christmas Comes Home To Season 3 finalists) The two clear finalists are Kelly 04:00 The Blood Bond Canaan-PG15 01:00 UFC Rowland’s rocker Jeff Gutt from the Over 25s and Simon 06:00 True Justice: Blood Alley 15:00 My Own Love Song-PG15 03:00 UFC Unleashed Cowell’s duo Alex and Sierra from the groups category. 08:00 Alien Tornado 17:00 American Girl: McKenna 04:00 Prizefighter For me, that left a toss-up for the third position. There’s 10:00 Soldiers Of Fortune Shoots For The Stars-PG 07:00 WWE Bottom Line Paulina Rubio’s Carlito Olivero, the last standing from the 12:00 Deadly Hope 18:45 We Bought A Zoo-PG 08:00 WWE Experience 14:00 Metal Shifters 21:00 Jeff, Who Lives AtHome- Boys category and Cowell’s country group, Restless Road - 09:00 Ping Pong World 16:00 Soldiers Of Fortune PG15 made up of previously eliminated soloists. 10:00 US Bass Fishing 18:00 The Fog 23:00 Killing Them Softly-18 In my opinion, it was the perfect timing for an Enrique 11:00 NHL 20:00 Metal Shifters Iglesias performance on the show. It was almost a nod to 13:00 F1 H2O World Championship 22:00 Sultanes Del Sur Highlights why America would pick its third finalist. You can proba- 13:30 F1 H2O World Championship bly guess by now that Olivero made it through. Highlights The ambitious singer doesn’t have the strongest voice, 14:00 European Le Mans Series but he’s an all around performer with a personality, good 01:00 The Happy Cricket 2 15:00 Mass Participation looks and the ability to cross over into Spanish music. It 02:30 Back To The Sea 16:00 WWE SmackDown 04:15 Snowflake , The White Gorilla doesn’t hurt that Cowell has been complimenting Olivero 18:00 WWE Experience 06:00 Scooby-Doo! Mask Of The for weeks on his fighting spirit. On the other hand, 00:00 Creature-18 19:00 NHL Blue Falcon Restless Road has the looks and the talent but very little 02:00 The Blood Bond-PG15 21:00 UFC The Ultimate Fighter 08:00 The Ugly Duckling And Me dynamics to them as a group. They’re stiff and still look 04:00 True Justice: Blood Alley- 22:00 UFC PG15 10:00 Super Buddies uncomfortable on stage with one another. Their one 06:00 Alien Tornado-PG15 11:30 Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog dynamic member, Colton Pack, only serves to highlight 08:00 Soldiers Of Fortune-PG15 Days the lack of stage presence in the group. It was clear to me 10:00 Deadly Hope-PG15 13:15 Snowflake , The White Gorilla that America would reward Olivero for his passion and 12:00 Metal Shifters-PG15 15:00 Emperor’s Secret stage presence. So, America, your Season 3 finalists are 14:00 Soldiers Of Fortune-PG15 16:30 Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax 00:00 Man vs World 16:00 The Fog-PG15 18:00 Super Buddies Carlito Olivero, Jeff Gutt and Alex and Sierra.
