With the season finale of America's Got Talent now less than 24 hours away, the remaining 11 acts are sweating it out as viewers prepare to cast their final votes.

Tuesday's episode gave the finalists — Avery Dixon, Celia Muñoz, Chapel Hart, Drake Milligan, Kristy Sellars, Mayyas, Metaphysic, Mike E. Winfield, Nicolas RIBS, Sara James and Yu Hojin — one last chance to earn America's favor with memorable, vote-worthy performances.

In addition to revealing the winner of the $1 million grand prize and Las Vegas residency, Wednesday's two-hour final results show (NBC, 9/8c) will also feature special appearances; the final 11 acts will perform alongside country stars Darius Rucker and Jon Pardi, actor/director Henry Winkler, previous AGT winner Shin Lim, and previous finalists the Silhouettes, among others.

Which act do you predict will win Season 17, and which act should win? (After all these years, we know those two answers aren't always the same.)
