Real fans of “America’s Got Talent” make-up the voters who are secluded in a separate room away from the live studio audience. These voting fans are selected from various states which they represent. After all of the acts have performed at the end of each episode, the fans vote for their favorite.

There’s fifty acts total with ten to twelve acts performing each week. At the end of every episode, the top three acts are revealed. Then, those acts are narrowed-down to third place, second place, then finally – first place which is the act (along with a Golden Buzzer act) that moves-on to compete further in the Champions competition. That’s a lot of talented acts going home each week!

By around the third episode in, Simon Cowell said the show realized that they had lost too many “good people.” So, “we decided to bring in two Wild Cards.”

Viewers will see repeat acts who are brought-back via the Wild Card. This version of “America’s Got Talent” also includes the Golden Buzzer that allows judges to put a favorite act straight through to the final round. SPOILER ALERT! – One of the below ten acts got a Golden Buzzer again!

Hollywood Junket got a sneak-preview while visiting the set early in the season. It’s surprising to see how many of the show’s extremely talented and successful acts came back for a chance to claim the title of “AGT Champion.” Some of the acts were from just this past season 13. Most recognizable contestant Susan Boyle from Britain’s Got Talent also returned for her shot, along with AGT winner from season one, Bianca Ryan who was only eleven-years-old at the time.

During the physical the doctor found a blood clot near a heart artery which was life-threatening. It was so serious that John had to have open-heart surgery immediatley within 24 hours. In John’s magic act, the AGT judges selected key words – courage, hard work, and heart. SPOILER ALERT – These words will come into play later in the Champions season. So, stay tuned!

Ryan Stock and Amberlynn are a danger act duo who are well-known for their cringe-worthy acts. However, during one such stunt where Amberlynn had to shoot a fire-arrow into Ryan’s mouth it infamously went wrong during one an AGT live show where Amberlynn missed the mark, landing the firery arrow onto Ryan’s neck. Ryan survived the incident unharmed. The couple stated that they’d attempt the act again. During their appearance on AGT: Champions, Ryan and Amberlynn said they got a Vegas show by the time their AGT season ended. Simon was laughing through their whole ‘Champions stunt.

PAUL POTTS (Britain’s Got Talent 2007)

The ten acts were rounded-off by Britain’s Got Talent Paul Potts. For those that missed Potts first stint on the show, he is an unexpecting, tremdously talented Opera singer who literaly brought the house down during his “AGT: The Champions” performance. In a career update, Paul said he’s done 1100 shows in 11 years.

Creator, and current judge, of both “Britain’s Got Talent” and “America’s Got Talent” Simon Cowell gave the studio audience an interesting and little known tidbit about the show and Potts.
