Show Host Scott Hayes Commentary

Due to internet issues, Brandon was unable to join us, but everyone else thankfully showed up and gave GREAT presentations! Nicely done! Now our remaining finalists need your votes - VOTE BELOW!

Rajesh, Leila, Rohit, and Roberto received the highest votes last week from our worldwide audience, so they were "safe ". Christian, Sreeharsha, Brandon, and Akshat "presented for their lives " in the bottom four. Our judges decided to save Sreeharsha and Akshat based on their presentations. Our judges also used their discretion to eliminate Leila and to invite Brandon to Finals Round 3. So, on 20 March 2015, the Finalist presenters will be:
