Gives "do or die" a whole new meaning.
Baby, we've got an action figure DOWN! Although that head spin made me think it might all be part of the act, he doesn't get up for a good few seconds and everyone looks at each other like, "Uh, are we supposed to help him or something?" Hope you made him sign that waiver, producers! Jerry Springer gets all concerned and they call the on-set medic and an ambulance (who answer the phone after TWO whole rings, by the way. That's comforting). Now THIS is what I call entertainment! It actually looked pretty bad, especially when his body went all limp there at the end and he's just laying there like an abandoned ventriloquism doll. After a tension-filled break, we return to see that Ivan has woken up to see Jerry and Hasselhoff standing over, peering at him worriedly and calling him "bro." He must have thought, "I've died and gone to Reality Television Hell!"
"Angelhoff?"
Turns out he'll be okay but, with the kind and comforting words of The Hoff to send him on his way, they take him to the hospital and it's now safe to say he won't be going through to the next round. When Jerry comes out to the audience to give them the diagnosis, he nearly breaks down into sobs. It always astounds me how this guy can be so sensitive on this show when he encouraged such outrageously terrible things on his own show. But that's neither here nor there. All of a sudden the judges are down to the deciding phase. Come on, where's Leonid the Magnificent?? I was really looking forward to seeing what he was going to do (and wear). Down to the eliminations. And..... they play "All Or Nothing At All." Okay, you fuckers, that's the SECOND time this episode and about the 800th time this season. Your ass is mine, Minor! I'm sending you a new music library TOMORROW! Well, even if we didn't get to see him this episode, Leonid the Magnificent gets through to the top 35. I personally am happy about that one. I'm not sure where all this affection for the freak show came from, because I know he's crazy and, without the makeup, probably not talented, but I love the guy! I want to marry Leonid the Magnificent! Think of all the psychotic, bitchy children we could have. We would probably breed a little army of evil-doers. Well, that or maybe an army of flamboyantly cross-dressing writers. Either way.
Hey dreamboat!
So, all of the most outrageous acts got through: Leonid, Boy Shakira, Kashif, all the greats. Yeah, I don't get it either. However, Freaky Dolls finally gets her ass SERVED! Well, it wasn't nearly as boring of an episode as I thought it would be, and although the destruction of hopes and dreams was not evenly spread throughout the episode, I did quite like watching the hearts be broken en masse. That's cool. Switchin' it up. There were plenty of tears to satisfy me, but... just not quite enough Leonid. What did you think about this episode? See you on the boards!

Really, what's up with all the freaks moving on? Why?
Funny, how one of the rockabilly kids asked "Why, of all the shows, this one had to be our worse?" Perhaps, because you guys were goofing off instead of practicing?
Two of the magicians were excellent! The third, the one that looks like the butler from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, stunk!

I didn't watch it all, just up until right before Boy Shakira performed.
He really got through??
WHY????
He's obviously out of his GD mind. That would be like the judges on AI letting through all of the psychos that think they can sing.
Or SYTYCD letting in that guy that calls himself "Sex".
Seriously... WTF???
Anyways... the magicians were really cool. Loved the older guy. Don't know how the heck he did that trick but it was cool as hell.
I also like the chubby guy singer with his guitar and the acapella rock group... wish they had shown them more b/c that singer is amazing.

I think this article sums it pretty well, but I would argue the varied talent just adds to the entertainment value. I love America's Got Talent, and can't wait to see the 2 hour premiere tomorrow night.

Simon Cowell says the new season has the best talent he's ever seen on any reality tv show ever, and we all know what a harsh judge he is. Hasselhoff has posted a video blog on NBC to give us a preview as to what to expect on tonight's premiere, check it out:
