e: But watching things spin out of control while Tyra/the judges tried to respond to the Very Similar Trick they'd seen twice before go wrong this time was probably the most entertaining the show's been all night. And now, gently caress it, here's dogs!

i'm not watching it right now, but from what i'm reading some things got hosed up? presentation is everything with viewers voting on what they see, and especially what they hear. if they really hosed up with some performance they should get a second chance imo

Yes, two acts had major technical fuckups. And Mel threw water on Simon again. And the singers are so aspirational just put a bullet in my head goddammit

I think it's hilarious that the magician's last two tricks worked on the premise that something went wrong with the trick and he was in trouble. Then of course something actually does go wrong but not in a flashy way.

Well yeah, America is stupid, and if even the slightest negative thing is said by a judge, it's extremely unlikely that middle america will want to vote for them. Like even "I'm not sure that was your best performance, but I still liked it" can make people not vote for someone, instead of you know, judging for themselves.

Didn't stop Celine from getting through. A buzzer might be more likely to be a kiss if death than a negative comment after a performance IMO.

It's only the end of the world.

So "your magic is flawless!" is a line the judges are given and supposed to say, right? Because Eric's trick wasn't the obvious Big Production Disaster that the other magician's trick was, but the card he revealed at the end was clearly not Howie's card, and the force on Howie at the beginning was even more obvious.

Chip-through-glass looked cool, though, and he's not a singer, and Mirror Image did lose, so . . . I guess it worked out-ish?

I'm still hung up that Mirror Image's shirts weren't actually mirrored. It would have been so simple. And their hair was straight up different. They could have each parted it to the opposite side or something.

I record this show and watch it whenever but that magic act where Howie had to follow instructions was cringeworthy. The man is so goddamn dumb he can't follow simple instructions and never shuts up. I hate that man.

No one should ever watch have to watch AGT live. I typically start it at least an hour in so I can fast forward through commercials and sob stories otherwise this show would be unbearable.

America's Got Shitgoblins has it's final quarterfinal tonight before two rounds of semifinals. Are they going to try and separate the two nine year old singers into two episodes? Probablt, don't want people catching on.

I'd like to see a Shitgoblin act on this show. I don't know what that would be, but it has to be better than seeing another gospel choir sing just like every other gospel choir on the show and have Howie act like he's never seen a gospel choir before and fall short of the finals, just like every other gospel choir the show has done.

Magic trick, I feel, could have been way better with faster pacing.

No singers, sob stories or commercials? What's that leave about 15 minutes of show?

I think it's time to replace Mel B and Heidi, they refuse to say a negative thing, they're less judges and more cheerleaders

So for the Colin Cloud thing, he had instructions for the girl printed on the back of the DM screen he covered the knives with and on the paper he handed her and he promised her the remainder of his budget, I'm guessing.

So Kechi and Diavolo through so far, as well as Chase and Mike. They won't ever go home will they Charlie, will they?

Angelina, Colin and the Choir in the Dunkin save at the moment.

Gotta love how all three Wild Cards went out in the quarterfinals. Great picks you asshats.

Tonight on America's Got Meltdowns, we start the semifinals. There appears to have been some shuffling of acts within the last week, but hopefully things will get more interesting.

11 acts, 5 go through. One week has slightly more Golden Buzzers than others, but I forget which.

Did anyone else notice than just after the magician put the $100 bill down on the table at the start of the trick, you could pretty clearly see the coins underneath it that would "magically" appear there at the end of the trick?

The first act that Howie isn't slobbering over, it's because the guy didn't do another Coldplay song or some other lovely cover.
I was thinking of casting a spite vote for him, but meh....singers.

Usually at this point I have a good idea of who'se going to win but I'm not so sure yet. I can garuntee Preacher Lawson in the finals though.
