Hey socal, I see I accidently caught a white circle on the bottom right of the photo. Did you misspell "revisited"? |

I don’t believe in calling someone a moron for making spelling mistake! But nobody called anybody a moron. I myself am not a Moran because I am married. |

I agree....I've never liked it. Gives them an unfair advantage on a show that is supposed to be about talent. I agree but AGT has never been about talent - it's been about ratings. Thry want the people who will bring in an untapped audience or are jumping on an emerging trend. They also like sob stories because people will watch it like it were a soap opera with lots of tear jerking into the finals. The voting isn't fixed - the penalties are too high for that going back to the game show scandals of the 50s, but the judges can skew audience perceptions by lavishing praise on contestants. They can also prep contestants so they appeal to a wider demographic. So you tell Grace to ditch the pink hair she had for a blonde bob and have her show up in looking more middle American clean cut than NYC hipster. It doesn't always work - it did with Grace but when they tried to push Courtney Hadwin, the public said no thanks. But AGT definitely has its favorites. Yup...it's ultimately all about ratings. It's a business after all. |

If so, the rules for game shows would not apply. Does anyone know? |

If so, the rules for game shows would not apply. Does anyone know? I don't know, but AGT advertises that in later rounds the voters call in and decide who wins that round. They talk about the maximum times each voter can all in and vote for a particular act each round. If the show was rigging it somehow, that would be a massive scandal. I don't believe that is occurring and don't believe anyone significant has even claimed it is occurring. |
