America’s Got Talent 2016 FIRST LIVE SHOW airs tonight. Seven acts will advance, FIVE acts will go home based on YOUR VOTES.  Simon Cowell, Mel B., Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel sit on the panel. Former winners, Ventriloquist Paul Zerdin and Magician Mat Franco will both perform.

The show kicks off with judge chat. Simon says he saw four people last night who could win the show. Next, is a recap of last night’s 12 acts. We return to the stage and all 12 acts are present!

OOoooooo The LIVE DUNKIN SAVE IS BACK. Deadly Games, Hara and Lori Mae Hernandez are 6th 7th and 8th. TWO acts will be saved–one by the Dunkin Save, the other by the judges. Search for Dunkin Save on Google. You have 30 minutes! Poor Lori Mae looked gut punched. I want to keep BOTH Lori and Hara! Booooo.

Host Nick Cannon mentions that the graphic on the screen was wrong, but it won’t affect the vote. Hm. It’s true, if you search for the acts on Google, it comes up with the correct names.

Musicality and Dorothy Williams take the stage. Musicality advances, Dorothy Williams heads home to shake her boobies at the senior center. Mel is SO HAPPY that Musicality advanced. Eh. Jayna Brown and Laura Bretan take the stage next. BOTH are going through. I knew that was coming! Three music acts so far have advanced. Simon advises both to stay true to themselves.

Next, it’s a video package featuring some of the winners, Paul Zerdin, Terry Fator and Mat Franco plus success after America’s Got Talent.

Next, Season 10 winner, ventriloquist Paul Zerdin takes the stage to entertain the live crowd. The puppet does an impression of Simon. “I didn’t like it…I loved it!” Not bad. Not great, but not bad. At the end of his act, he wishes all of the acts good luck.

After the break, season 9 champion, Mat Franco, who has a Las Vegas show currently, displays his incredible magic tricks. His tricks with cards and confetti was literally a visual feast! Met tells the contestants to put their whole heart and soul into their performances…and cross their fingers!

Outlawz and Daniel Joyner take the stage. The next act going to the semi-finals is…NEITHER! I thought so. Daniel looked a little shocked. Sila Sveta, Tape Face and Jon Dorenbos take the stage next…Jon Dorenbos advances! Nick tells the remaining acts to wait. Because one is going through…and of course it’s Tape Face. Sila Sveta is eliminated.

The vote for the Dunkin Save is closed! When we return, we’ll learn which of Deadly Games, Hara and Lori Mae Hernandez are saved. The act going through to the semi-finals via the Dunkin Save is…Lori Mae Hernandez. She’s crying. She’s only 13 years old! Oh. THE JUDGES CHOOSE THE LAST ACT. Simon kept harping on how it was “all out of our hands now.” Right. Each judge votes.

Judges Save

Heidi – Deadly Games
Mel – Hara
Simon – Deadly Games
Howie – Hara

DEADLOCK! A tie–which means America’s votes decide. And Deadly Games received more votes than Hara. BOOOOOOO.

I would have totally swapped out Hara for Musicality. They’re an inspiring group of kids, but NOT a million dollar act.

NEXT WEEK: Calysta Bevier, The Clairvoyants, SOS & Victoria, Kadie Lynn, Flip, Sal Valentinetti, Ryan Stock & Amberlynn, Steven Brundage, Throwings, Moya Angela, Viktor Kee, and Sofie Dossi.

Flip (Dance Troupe) and Steven Brundage (Rubik’s Cube magician) are the other two wildcards.
