Episode #6.10

The "America's Got Talent" auditions are in, well, we don't really know because no one mentioned it. Things get started quickly with a couple of nearly lifelong friends who say they've been preparing for five years to show off their talent. Eric and Christlo, a couple of friends who've known each other since middle school, get things started with a truly terrible singing and dancing rendition of TLC's "Waterfalls." Sharon thinks they're adorable, but says this after she buzzed them. They're gone, and on come some more crazies, including a guy who dances while suspended form an overhead wire by his hair, a quartet of dancing ladies with absurdly large butt enhancements, and a truly terrible magician. A dance group called Fatally Unique that has come together as a family and found rehearsal space whenever and wherever they can. The crowd loves the groups high-intensity presentation. Sharon calls them "strong dancers" and Howie says they're different. Piers hates their costumes, but loves the dancing. With three yeses, they're off the Vegas. They start a string of quality acts, including a yo-yo specialist, a bodybuilder who flexes to music, and a shy and semi-awkward singer-guitarist who wins over the crowd and judges. Burlesque dancer Tomahawk Tassels does a tease that results in her strategically covering her otherwise topless self with a canoe paddle. It's a lot of fun for about a minute until Piers and Sharon send her packing. A 42-year-old technical writer turned housewife named Cindy Chang is a singer full of nervous laughter and energy. She says she always wanted to be a singer but her parents said no. And, just like that, Cindy becomes the first "who would've believed that?" opera singer of the season. She's so full of nerves that she breaks down crying and shaking as soon as she's done singing. The crowd chants "Vegas, Vegas" as she wipes away her tears. Piers says her parents would be thinking, "Big mistake," if they saw her sing. She tells Howie she was emotional because she couldn't believe she was there. She took her first voice lesson in her mid-to-late 20s and her voice teacher told her it was too late for her. She's all smiles (and some tears) when the judges tell her she's going to Vegas. Mike Stone & the Kritikal Band have the crowd in a groove, but Piers buzzes them. Afterward, he says they should thank him because as soon as he hit the buzzer, they stepped it up. With three yes votes, they're on to Vegas. Fantastic Fig, a 76-year-old magician who keeps his cat, Newton, on his shoulder. The judges are impressed at his ability to "guess" which cards they randomly choose from the deck. Afterward, Fig says it's time to dance, so he and his quartet of female backup dancers start dancing. Howie buzzes him. Howie says no to the dancing, but yes to the magic. Piers is on board, as well, and Fig and his ladies are going to Vegas. GTR, which stands for "Girls That Rock," are a duo of full-figured ladies who, well, rock. After a lot of booming and a lot of shaking, they get three buzzes. The Fearless Flores Family is a father and his 13-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son who are self-proclaimed daredevils. The kids ride motorcycles in a large metal globe while their father stands in the middle. Piers calls it one of the most exciting things he's ever seen on the show. Sharon calls it "absolutely perfection."
