I hadn't considered that - some may be recorded without the judges present.
But a couple of the people who wind up in the closing montages are ones who have stormed off screaming the F word and flipping the camera crew off. I doubt the crew could then convince those people to come back, even if the judges weren't present. Perfect examples - the black girl with the good voice last night who shoved the camera, and the weird stick juggler guy from last week who was in hysterics afterwards.
