SPIN ROUND: The spins you earn go to the Big Board, where every time you STOP! the board, you get cash, prizes, or the dreaded WHAMMY. Land on money or a prize, the value is added to the bank. Land on money & a spin, you get a free spin. Land on a Whammy, you lose everything. Four Whammies puts you out of the game, and you can pass your spins (which MUST be taken) if you have a fear of the Whammy, which is important, because the player with the most in their bank will have the advantage of spinning last in the next round.

"Press Your Luck" premieres tomorrow at its regularly scheduled time.

After Joseph Allen got a Golden Buzzer last week, the search for the next million dollar act continues. Welcome to week 3...

Marina Mazepa (21; orig. Ukraine) is a dancer who moved to LA to fulfill her dream of being a dancer. She starts with ballet... and ends up going contemporary with a hint of contortionism. Simon was speechless, but he eventually comes through with a yes to join the other three.

Dom Chambers (26; orig. Australia) wants to follow in the footsteps of many a magician on AGT, but he also has a legacy to live up to - his grandfather was a magician. He pulls a couple of beers out of a bag, a bottle of wine out of thin air, and another beer from his shoe. After getting the judges dreadfully sauced, he gets four yeses for his comic magic routine!

Carmen Carter (55) spent her life as a background singer. Now she's in the limelight with a cover of INXS' "Never Tear Us Apart". She brings the house down as the judges can't get enough of her. Gabrielle calls her voice "a gift and a blessing". Julianne says that no one will forget her name. Howie can't believe that it took her this long to come out on stage. Simon said it was "amazing". They say YES!

Dupla o Tempo (54, 84), a duo of Edson & Leon, come from Brazil to do some body balancing. It's something that we've seen before, but never this... complex or mature. Julianne compares Leon (84) to the old man from "Up". Simon delivers the trope: "This was a surprise. It was exactly why we created this show, to find people like you. This was genuinely one of my favorite acts.".

Sethward the Caterpillar () returns from last season - and NUMEROUS appearances on "The Gong Show" as Sethward the Giraffe. Same song, same chorus of buzzers. Terry, clean up this mess, please... and here's a bit of Little Sethward. A few acts later... Sethward the Walrus. Same song, same chorus of buzzers. But then Howie and Simon said yes. Why? Because reasons. Gabrielle keeps her buzz... and so does Julianne. Well, there's always next year.

Charlotte Summers (13; Marbella, Spain) is a huge fan of Simon, so she's nervous about her "I Put a Spell on You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. She sounds like a miniature Amy Winehouse. Simon wants her to drop the backing vocal next time (and there will be anext time because she's through!).

After more nerves, Kevin Schwartz (Madison, WI) is next, trying to shake a bad touch of agoraphobia. He managed to do that through comedy, clowning on himself a la Mitch Hedberg. The judges, once they got into it, give him a pass. Howie: "I can see that you were really nervous, but you were so wonderful. I love you and welcome out of the house."

Singing success has been hard to come by, and MacKenzie () is hoping to turn the tide with his take on "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor. Gabrielle is crying. Simon is smirking. And the rest of the panel is in agreement - they want more of him!

Next up, dancers are performing in front of Julianne, making THEM nervous. Yuriyan Retriever () is nervous to perform in front of her as she blends comedy and dance. Simon buzzed. So did she. So did the others. So yeah... she happened.

Michael Paul (Philadelphia) is an exotic bird trainer with his friend Willy... a puppet. So he's not a bird trainer, he's a ventriloquist. The judges liked him, so he's through.

Finally, we have Tyler Butler-Figueroa (11), who has been playing the violin since he was 7 as a way of combating his bullying due to leukemia. His cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" suits him to a T, and Simon, because no one's going to stop the boss, delivers this: "We hear too many stories about people being bullied and I can tell you one thing: most people are bullied because they're better than the people who bully them. I think you have such an amazing talent, such a personality, and I would like to say something on your behalf to the bullies."... GOLDEN BUZZER... even though it was painfully obvious that he was going to go through anyway.

More auditions next time.

Today's new student is a nun (yes, a nun) & Catholic school from Sacred Heart School in Sauk Rapids, MN, Sister Mary Jo! Joining Chloe, Cooper, Jamil & Nick in the class is Quinne.

FRONT GAME: 1st Grade Music, 2nd Grade Life Science, 3rd Grade Spelling, 3rd Grade US History, 4th Grade Grammar, 4th Grade Chemistry

Sister Mary Jo passes the 1st grade, but misses the 2nd in Life Science when she doesn't know that the "photo" in photosynthesis means "light". She also misses the first 3rd grade question when she doesn't know the other state (besides Mississippi) that has 3 pairs of side-by-side double letters in its name (Tennessee). She wants to COPY Chloe on this in US History: Coined by John O'Sullivan in 1845, the believe that it was the right of the US to expand across North America was know by what two-word phrase? The correct answer is "Manifest destiny". Chloe said... MANIFEST DESTINY! She misses the 4th grade grammar question on where the adverb was (sometimes). She uses her PEEK on this in Chemistry - Pick the ingredient you can add to vinegar to make a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas: a) NaCl b) NaHCO3 c) C12H22O11. Cooper has NaHCO3. She'll go with that.... and they're right for a total of $1000.

Back to Q3, where Nick goes with Slovakia... and she's right for double her money, $2000. But it's no $100,000, so...

"My name is Sister Mary Jo, and I may be a Catholic school teacher, but I'm not smarter than a 5th grader."

- Daniel Feels (Herndon, VA)... real name Dan Goldberger... has a crush. He wrote about it in "Crush".
- Darius Coleman (Philadelphia): "Better Luck Next Time" is about a girl he knows that was cheated on.
