I have to admit that for the first time all season, I was actually excited about watching the show tonight. Ten decent acts all performed last night, and, as with anything we let America decide, the results were truly a toss-up. Would AGT superstars Kevin Skinner, Grandma Lee, and the Voices of Glory finally be knocked from their pedestals? Would America shock us with a show of love for both dogs and underdogs and vote Tony Hoard and Rory? All of this, and David singing? Yes, it would be an evening to remember.

The first thing we should note is that Nick has thankfully ditched the waiter's outfit, but has insisted on keeping the stupid flower on his lapel. I get that you probably never went to your senior prom, but unless your name is Arcadian Broad you're not allowed to use this stage for your own sick fantasies, mmk?

Nick promises us tears of joy and despair (so now he's talking about MY prom) and then gives us the judge intro: Wednesday night edition. The difference is that on the Result's Shows they don't get to walk out to the crazy fireworks and light effects, so I guess we're just supposed to pretend they've been sitting at that table ever since last night's show ended. Piers says there was a lot of talent, so we're in for some shocks. From your mouth to God's ears, Piers. Sharon says she can't wait for the results and "Pimp Daddy Hassel," as Nick calls him, says he's stoked to perform with the Muppets. How many Miss Piggy/David Hasselhoff ham jokes do you think I'll be able to make this evening?

Oh, man, and it's already time for some results! Well, I cut out the ridiculous amounts of last night's recap for you, but I'm still excited. Arcadian Broad, Texas Tenors, and Drew Thomas Magic. Could this be another triple elimination? You know the producers want Arcadian out ASAP after his maverick stunt last night. But Arcadian is spared, at least momentarily, by the elimination of Drew Thomas Magic. Sad, but sort of expected and deserved after last night.

Arcadian's relief is short-lived and he gets cut next. Thanks, kid. You definitely went out with a bang. I'd like to get together with you and Kelly someday and we can prank call some NBC execs together. And, Texas Tenors? Again, I really don't understand how they made it to the Finals, but apparently everyone loves them now. I'm still guessing they'll be cut early from the finalists when the winner is named. It's also at this point we get our first Muppet vignette, in which we learn that felt can indeed out-act Sharon Osbourne.

Kermit and Miss Piggy perform after the break, and while it's not quite up to the Lawrence or EriAm standard, I'm still thankful it's not Mariah Carey. There's a delightful photo montage of their relationship (no one think too hard about how much time we're wasting) and does anyone else think Kermit's voice sounds way off? When compared to earlier Muppet works. Yes, I am actually comparing and contrasting the works of the Muppets. Don't judge me.

Time to head back to the Orville Lounge, otherwise known as the reason America no longer feels cheated when we spend ten minutes watching a Muppet duet. The highlights are Kevin Skinner brushing off Grandma Lee's jokes with that damn charm of his and that boy-band Tenor saying he's worried about Ozzy Osbourne. I think he's got like twenty guys to beat up for flirting with his wife before he gets to you, weird blond guy. And that's on the AGT set alone.
