I think that the all-virtual auditions are already throwing the show off. I'm not saying anyone who makes it through is stupid, or that the statstically-improbable run of superchampions is rigged, but I think one thing the in-person did was shake out better who can perform in an unfamiliar environment in a room full of strangers. Clicking a pen isn't the equivalent of using a buzzer against live opponents.
