Gymkana, Matt Wilhelm, Kevin Colis, and Beth Ann Robinson were the winning Youtube acts in America’s Got Talent Season 6 Episode 22. Tonight the last of the quarterfinal acts perform in the wild card round. Each judge has picked four acts they wanted to come back.
The first choice of the night by Piers is the Kinetic King. I quite like him. As long as his act doesn’t self destruct. This time, it goes off without a hitch. I’m not sure that’s a million dollar act, but he has redeemed himself.
Howie loves Those Funny Little, mostly because Piers hates them. Needless to say, Piers buzzes. I still don’t get the point of this act.
Avery & The Calico Hearts are Sharon’s first pick. I suppose they’re good for their age. Piers buzzes, reiterating that it’ll be a few years before they’re ready.
Seth Grabel is Howie’s next choice. I don’t get the point of the flips and the hula hoop, but the illusion is what matters here. He makes a DeLorean appear on stage, and in it are a young Piers, Howie, and Sharon. Piers thought that was exactly like Howie, flashy but lacking. Of course, he’s got his own magician later in the show.
Shevonne (with one name already) was rejected in Vegas but is getting a second chance thanks to Sharon. I guess she’s okay, like the rest of the night so far. Howie thinks they made a mistake in letting her go.
West Springfield Dance Team is Sharon’s next choice, as revealed on last week’s show. Still very weird, but good. Howie liked it but doesn’t think they improved over last time.
J Chris Newberg is Howie’s second pick of the night designed to annoy Piers, who buzzes again. I guess he’s kind of funny.
Yellow Designs Stunt Team is Sharon’s last act of the night. Their pirate theme’s a lot better, though they still end up with a fall. Contrary to what he normally does, Piers lets the mistake go, believing this is the only act where something like that improves the performance. He says they’re one of the most improved acts.
Charles Peachock’s very cool juggling performance wasn’t good enough for Sharon and Howie, but Piers has decided to bring him back. Tonight we return to danger, complete with flaming chainsaw and sword juggling (while balancing other swords on his head). Piers thinks he blew it because he dropped something.
The Fiddleheads are back to sing some more as Howie’s next pick. I like them, but their song choices are their undoing. Piers buzzes because this group doesn’t work, in spite of the lead singer.
Summerwind Skippers are the rope jumpers Piers considers sexy. Tonight they’ve brought flaming ropes with them. Sharon agrees that skipping is sexy. Howie’s changed his mind and now sees how this can be a show.
The final act of the night and Piers’ last pick is Landon Swank. He cuffs his hands behind his back in a tank of water with his head chained to the floor. He’ll have one minute to escape before the safety team has to rescue him. Piers was right. This is the better magician.
