America’s Got Talent Wild Card Performance Show

I must admit that I was a little bit disappointed by this wild card show. There were 3-4 acts that were fantastic and the rest a pretty big disappointment. Many of them actually seemed like they took a step back in their performances. Either way, those 3-4 were great to watch. Plus, the judges were in rare form. I think the Piers must have angered half of America in this episode.

Why Order Matters on America’s Got Talent

One of Pure America’s Got Talent readers, Jason, did a nice breakdown of the order that acts performed and which acts made it through to the semifinals:
#1: None of the five acts have been in the top 5.
#2: 2 of 5 have advanced to the semifinals.
#3: 1 of 5 in top 5, none in semifinals.
#4: 1 of 5 in top 5, none in semifinals.
#5: None of the five acts have been in the top 5.
#6: 2 of 5 have advanced to the semifinals.
#7: 1 of 5 have advanced to the semifinals.
#8: 1 of 5 in top 5, none in semifinals.
#9: 4 of 5 in top 5, 2 of 5 in semifinals.
#10: 4 of 5 have advanced to the semifinals.
#11: 5 of 5 have advanced to the semifinals.
#12: 4 of 5 have advanced to the semifinals.

Definitely shows a clear bias to the final acts making it through on America’s Got Talent. Is that because we have short term memories? Is it because the producers save the best acts for the end of the show? I’m guessing it’s both. What do you think?
