Segment #1

The first groups out: Tim Hockenberry and Turf
(WOW... Unless both make it through, this is a surprise.)
Sharon: I have to say that between Tim and Turf, I just can't call it. I'm very nervous.
The act going into the semi-final and moving one step closer to $1M and a headline show in Las Vegas is: BOTH OF YOU ARE GOING!
Standing ovation by the judges.
Howie: I want to say that I could not be happier. When those two came out on stage, I said to Sharon that one of them would be my wild-card. But America did my job for me.
(Way to go, America!)

Segment #2

This week the contestents had to do some messing around with them=. Howie pretended to be a desk clerk, and used hidden cameras. I can't believe that no one recognized him, and did the things he asked.

Gavin DeGraw performs "Sweeter"

Segment #3

Aftershow party in the Orville Lounge

Next group: Lisa Clark Dancers, The All Ways, Aurora Light Painters, Big Barry
(My guess is none of them)
Howard: (Can you call it?) Each of these acts had trouble last night. I think all four are in trouble, Nick. I don't know what America's going to do.
The act going to the semi-finals is: NO ONE.
Sharon: (Are you surprised?) To be brutally honest with you, Nick, I'm not surprised.

Next group: Tom Cotter, Lion Dance Me, Hawley Magic
(My choice: Tom Cotter)
America has voted. The act going through to the semi-finals is: Tom Cotter
Sharon: I called it I called it I called it. Congratulations, you deserve it.

Segment #5

The last three acts: Danielle Stallings, Donovan and Rebecca, Ben Blaque
This is the judge's choice, so there can only be two.
America has voted. The act leaving the competition and going home is: Ben Blaque
Donovan/Rebecca: We try to bring variety each time, and we have a lot of things to show. R: And there are many ways to lift Donovan.
Danielle: I think I'm the whole package. I have a lot more to show.

Next up: Judge's Choice

Segment #6

Again, Judges are choosing between the acts America voted as #4 and #5 - Donovan and Rebecca and Danielle Stallings.
(My guess, here, is Donovan/Rebecca, but I don't know how the judges will vote.)
Howard: Two great acts here. Donovan & Rebecca. I have been dazzeled by you three times in a row. I've never seen anything like it. Danielle - You are so young, and so gifted and talented. Danielle, I think you're remarkable., I don't think it's your time, yet. I am going to say,  because I have to make a choice, D&R.
Sharon: D&R each time I see you, you bring something new. This is the only place we can see acts like you. Danielle. 14yo, and you're on your own. (She has trouble doing it.) My decision is to put Danielle through.
Howie: D&R, what you do is unique & original, and that's what this show is about. Danielle, you're young, and fantastic. I wish I didn't have to make a decision, but I do. Donovan and Rebecca.
So, Donovan & Rebecca. (Danielle cries.)
