This week, the 32 acts that survived the show's "Boot Camp" will visit a judge's home or another location of his or her choice, where the judge will mentor them toward trying to earn a place on the live shows.
Rihanna will help Reid, and "additional superstar guest mentors" will join the other judges, Fox said. The other mentors will be revealed tonight.
