So far, two acts have been given the Golden Buzzer - Zurcaroh on week 1 and Michael Ketterer on week 2. Do they have a chance to win? We'll see. For now, auditions continue...
Sophie Fatu (5, West Virginia) is a baker of "sweets and treats, but not food or breakfast". She bakes her way to a rousing rendition of Frank Sinatra's "My Way". She wanted a Golden Buzzer from Simon, who called her "Happiness in a bottle", but will she settle for four yeses instead?
Remember David & Dania from season 1, the Quick Change artists? Well, get ready for their spiritual successors, Sixto & Lucia (Cuba), who take that act to the next level. Simon calls it one of the best versions he's ever seen. Mel thought it was slick and entertaining. All the judges give them a pass.
YouTuber Noah Guthrie parlayed his videos into a role on "Glee". Now he's striking out on his own with "Love on the Brain". The judges have praise on the brain. Howie said he was unique, Heidi calls his voice very sexy, and the judges give him the sweep.
Next, a caterpillar named Sethward (orig. Texas) tries to turn into a butterfly... and the judges all shove him back into his cocoon after he flashes everyone.
The Future Kingz (Chicago, dance troupe) are back together after a four-year hiatus, giving their hip-hop routine on stage. The judges say it was very current and ver now. Another sweep.
Front Pictures (VR artists) specialize in showing the dangers of technology taking over the world. Imagine a 90-second version of "Black Mirror" with wires and the backscreen as a live-action video game, and that's pretty much their act. The judges hit the continue button.
After 15 years, it's no surprise that Simon is still a little bit on the vain side. Enter Miss Trysh (57), a singer who lusts for the erstwhile sourpuss with "If I Were Your Woman". Of course he calls her the total package... and perhaps out of the fear of being fired, the panel puts her through. Here to congratulate her... her husband?!
Lord Nil, an escapist, promises that we've never seen his act before. He ziptied his hands to a prop, locked his head inside of a box, and gave himself 90 seconds to escape before 30 venomous scorpions lowered into the box with his head in it. He's out with one second to spare, and the judges are scared and awestruck at the same time. Simon wants to see alligators next. We'll see, because he's through.
Comedy tonight... and also tedium.
Hans proclaims that he's a star already, proving himself with a comedic performance on the accordion of "Proud Mary". We... don't know what to make of all of this, but the judges see enough to send him through.
A couple of interesting stories to end the show - Samuel J. Comroe, diagnosed with Tourettes, delivers a stand-up routine to turn his negative into a positive. Howie liked his delivery and the way he makes light of his serious situation. It's an easy yes.
Finally, we have Courtney Hadwin (13) a choir singer who breaks out into the Black Crowes' "Hard to Handle".. if it were done by Janis Joplin. Howie said that Clive Davis signed Janis on the spot. But he isn't here, so the best he can do is give him his.. GOLDEN BUZZER!
More auditions next week. |

6) MOTOWN: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell ... They would've dropped back to $45,500. |

JEOPARDY! ROUND: Title People: How Novel!, I Need a Drink, Medical Words & Phrases, The Kiss Cam, HQ Trivia, The "IRS"
Catherine starts with $400 I Need a Drink. At the TV timeout, Rebecca has $4000 thanks to some SAVAGERY at Qs 7-11. Catherine & Jason are tied at $1400.
The last clue on the board, $1000 The Kiss Cam, goes to Catherine. She's going for it on this: after kissing Debbie Reynolds goodnight, Gene Kelly is elated & begins doing this, the film's title. "What is 'Singin' in the Rain'?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $8400 to $8800 for Rebecca. Jason's $2000 gives him the pick to start...
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!: Classical Favorites, The Four Seasons, 1812 Overtures, The Blue Danube, Fanfare for the Common Man, New World Symphony
... with $400 Classical Favorites, finding the first Daily Double under $1600 1812 Overtures. He bets $2000 on this: in 1807 Congress passed this Act forbidding exports to Britain. "What is the War Act?" No, it was the Embargo Act, leaving him with $1200. He can recover with the other under $1200 The Four Seasons. He goes for $1000 on this: it's the 7-word first line of "Richard III". "What is winter?" That... is only one word. It was "Now is the winter of our discontent", leaving him wtih $3400. He recovers to $7000, but Rebecca and Catherine are way ahead wtih $11,600 and $18,800 respectively.
FINAL JEOPARDY! in "Children's Lit": in 2017 the Maine farm & barn that inspired this classic 1952 novel were put up for sale. Correct response: what is "Charlotte's Web"?
Everyone's right, but Charlotte has the most to win $23,201, giving her a two-day total of $46,401. |

@DinoRAlexander
Fox: 9p/8C
Host: Andy Cohen

The swiping stops and the dating begins with ARMOND (31; Alexandria, VA; gym manager), whose mother wants a nice girl for him. He's very charismatic with a busy life, but he's crazy. His three (along with their first
impression scores,hers on him/his
on her):
- Lauren: 25, Washington, DC, sales who is Jewish and fluent in Hebrew (10/4)
- Amanda: 26, Baltimore, NFL cheerleader who says people don't approach her because they think she's already taken (10/7)
- Erica: 27, Arlington, VA; marketing executive who wants a date to dress for every occasion (10/8)
Armond picks... AMANDA! Did the audience make that move as well? The audience picked... Lauren. No collection, but a love connection nonetheless!
Next up, GRACE (26, Dallas, claims associate), who can be classy AND country as the same time, having learned how to ride ATVs, shoot guns, and teach English in the south of Spain. She calls herself a "cultured redneck", and is looking for likewise. Her three (along with their first
impression scores, his on her/hers
on him):
- Weston: 24; Dallas, construction worker who built his own house when he was 20. (8/5)
- Gabriel: 36; Denton, TX; entrepreneur who spent a lot of time traveling central America, and would like to find a lady to hit the trails with. (9/9)
- Juan: 34; Dallas; marketing specialist who is originally from Colombia. He blames traveling for being single. (7/7)
Grace picks... GABRIEL! And with him, a yellow rose of Texas. But did the audience pick him? Nope. They went with Weston.
After the show...
- Armond & Amanda: Armond says mom will approve. Back in DC, they're keeping things casual, but Armond isn't inviting Amanda for Bible study any time soon.
- Grace & Gabriel: After a round of antiquing, both are excited to see where things end up going. In fact, back in Dallas, Gabriel moved to be closer. Could be the beginning of something real. |
