I never heard of Le Petomane, but now I know where they got the Governor's name:

Opps, July 6 was the 6th night.
Auditions, 7th night, ones I liked in the order they appeared. There were many more that the audience and/or judges liked. Rerun Sat night, maybe Sun, too. Audition #8 on July 20, Wiki isn't very helpful as to when they end.

America's Got Talent (season 16)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%2 ... ason_16%29

July 20 was the 8th and final night of auditions. I'm not entirely sure what this means:

Following the previous season, Cowell decided to eliminate the Judges Cuts round from the program, and opt for adapting the format used on Britain's Got Talent – after all auditions were completed, the judges would confer together at another site to debate on who amongst the participants they had voted for would proceed to the live rounds, alongside those who received a Golden Buzzer. Filming would be conducted of some of these debates, but most would be off-camera, with the footage put in as the remaining half of the final audition episode to be broadcast for the season.

There were some brief and out of context clips. Sounds like some acts will just dis appear without mention. I'm not sure when the next show will be, July 27?

Here are the July 20 acts I liked in the order they appeared, there were many more that the audience and/or judges liked. Rerun Sat night, maybe Sun, too.

America's Got Talent (season 16)
Quarter-final 1 (August 10)

Back after the Olympics break. 1st live show after the judge's winnowing. Audience votes, 5 of 12 go home, results tonight. Maybe my mood, but I only like 2 of the acts.

Early Release: Beyond Belief Dance Company Surprises The Judges - America's Got Talent 2021

They had me at drag queen in Mesquite, TX, let alone that the young girls he coaches are really good. Will one or more turn out to be a boy?

Early Release: Dustin Tavella Performs Heartwarming Magic - America's Got Talent 2021

My favorite.

Not as great, but still cool:

Dustin Tavella Surprises The Judges With Unbelievable Card Magic

I THINK I know what he did.

Spoiler:

Switched decks just before spreading the cards out on the table.

[Vrede too]

Acts with the 6th, 7th and 8th most votes are placed on the bubble. Beyond Belief Dance Company is one of them. This may be bad news in the long run, but it's surprisingly good news in the short run. One of these acts will be saved by the audience, one by the judges. So, 2 in 3 chances of advancing. The rest of the acts only have a 5 in 9 chance of advancing. Cool.

Edit: Dustin Tavella advances to the semis! 1 down, 1 to go.

Edit: Beyond Belief Dance Company was not saved by the audience. Now it's the judges' save, 1 in 2 chance. The other act is a solo singer, Madilyn Bailey. I won't say who is more talented, but I'll bet the producers think that dancing TX kids coached by a drag queen make for better ratings.

Final edit: The judges split! Women for Beyond Belief, men for the hot woman singer. Go figure. So, it went back to the audience and Madilyn advances . Oh well, I really liked her audition, not so much last night's performance. We'll see.

1 for 3, ugh. Semi-final 2 on September 7.

I've never applied to that show...mostly from humility. I just don't think it would be fair to have anyone compete against my no net high wire between two burning buildings while juggling chain saws with the throttles jammed full open act. Hell, I can hardly come to grips with it myself.

Howie was funny when he had hair. I once saw him imitate a human condom by putting a large condom over his head and blowing it up with his breath while his head was inside. I don't know if this means hair is conducive to comedy or if bald shit is never funny. Don Rickles was bald and Jonathan Winters was nearly bald but they were both funny and could probably do a human condom deal bald. I'm working on my own AGT act called "Animal Crackers" about a bunch of racist white trash animals who come to a bad end just in the nick of time.

Acts with the 4th, 5th and 6th most votes are placed on the bubble. Léa Kyle (liked), UniCircle Flow (liked) and Victory Brinker (okay). Crap, my 2 favs are not in the audience top 3, may not have a good shot at winning. This may be bad news in the long run, but it's surprisingly good news in the short run. One of these acts will be saved by the audience, one by the judges. So, 2 in 3 chances of advancing. The rest of the acts only have a 3 in 8 chance of advancing. Cool.

Northwell Nurse Choir (okay) is in the Finals.

Edit:
ChapKidz (okay) got sent home.
Josh Blue (okay) is in the Finals.
Audience save: Léa Kyle.
