Recap: America's Got Talent: Pop Quiz, Hotshots!

712_cover.jpg

Well, kiddies, the producers spent a whole hour of airtime showing us who got through to the hallowed Final 20. I will not bore you with the play-by-play of that; it was boring enough to actually watch it. Instead, I came up with a little game for y'all to play instead. More after the jump...

I'm pretty sure they filmed this sequence on the same long day as the day they had the top-35 elimination. Either that, or they made everyone wear the same clothes... just so we can remember who each performer is and what shtick they do, presumably. Anyway, Hoff showed up wearing the cheesiest and most douchebaggy shirt imaginable.

Do you think his nipples get really sweaty?

Even Leonid The Magnificent can do better than that. Pshh. Throughout the show we get plenty of fake-outs from the judges trying to make the winners cry. And thus, I've decided to extend a challenge to my faithful readers. Look at the following screengrabs below. Try to decipher which are tears of joy, and which are the tears of tragic numbed sadness. There are only 20 Finalists. Answers at the end.

30

The Top 20 are: 3-9, 12-16, 20-26, 29

The Losers are: 1, 2, 10, 11, 17-19, 27, 28, 30 (at least she didn't wear that damn headband.)

A travesty for many! I am betting all of my money on that beatboxing elf. Actually, I'll bet all of my money AGAINST the 14-Year-Old Talentless Girl Who Needs A Makeover. I hate that chick. Unfortunately, America loves wide-eyed innocents, so I guess she has a shot. In any case, it's up to you guys now! Vote! Or better yet, don't waste your money voting, just read the recaps and bitch about the winners/losers on the comment boards.

Until next week... see you on the boards!

I can't believe they let in those 2 freaking idiots. I mean seriously... Boy Shakira and that other guy??? How is that even talent and not just some crazy ass delusional weirdo that thinks they have talent? 2 people that SHOULD be locked up in the looney bin b/c they obviously do not have all of their marbles there.
I mean GOD.. they got through over the 3 redneck tenors??
Just UUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHH

Anyways... I'll only watch the show for Cas and that Capella rock group... and I guess if I feel like it I'll vote for them...

UglyAllie [TypeKey Profile Page]:

i'm still confused as to how Boy Shakira and Indian Napoleon Dynamite qualify as "talent"...
i'll only watch as long as johnny come lately stays on--they're my favorite.

Clair [TypeKey Profile Page]:

What happened to the saxophone guy and the plate spinner lady? I don't recall seeing them in the elimination rounds, but I could have ffwd right past them....

Ubiquitous [TypeKey Profile Page]:

I lost interest about halfway through. They really ruined this show this season, did they not?

smartypants [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Sooo, I'm thrilled about Boy Shakira and the Indian Napoleon Dynamite making top 20. What I like about them is that their acts aren't the usual, boring crap, like 14 year olds singing (badly). I am always entertained.

But part of why I like them is that I also enjoy witnessing the reaction to their 'talent' (see Shollia'a comment above).

I'm still surprised at people's gut reaction to eliminate those that are different.

daisyclara [TypeKey Profile Page]:

No one wants to eliminate those who are DIFFERENT, just those with NO talent! They should rename the show "Americans Without Talent"! And the Hoff is the only talented judge.
