Oh, boy, here we go ...

I'm not sure how long these episodes will last or if it will just be this week, but ...

According to Sharon, they put through 160 acts and they're making cuts as soon as they meet the contestants at the airport. (Did they seriously make these people wear their audition costumes here?)

The contestants are divided into A, B, C, and D.

Cut at the airport: (I'm blanking on names just because there are so damn many of them.)

The little girl singer from last week
The dance troupe with the afros
The guitar-playing little boy
The Susan Boyle lady
The young magician with the mike stand
The rest of group B

Everybody else is going through to the next round.

The acts party, and it's hilaaaaaarious. Barbara Padilla rolling dice, the little old lady dancing with one of the younger black dancers, and the yodeling dominatrix is everywhere.

I'm rooting for the chicken catcher. I'm not even a big fan of country music but I really thought he was great. I'm also rooting for the little boy dancer and the magician with the three girls and the box.

Cut or kept:

Keith Johnson (singer, "Walking in Memphis") -- Cut
Pete Peterkin (impersonator, Obama) -- Kept
Arcadian Broad (kid dancer, "I'm Still Standing") -- Kept (YAY!)
Acrodunk - Kept
Platt Brothers - Kept

The little pink girl band - Kept
The young pairs dancers - Kept
The cowboy tenors - Kept
The yodeling dominatrix - Kept (YAY!)
The five sisters clogging - Kept
Anthony Ferrante (70-year-old disco dancer) - Cut

Euphoria, Breaksk8, and Destined 2 Be are given the same track and 12 hours to practice. Whoever comes up with the best routine stays. (I'm not sure if they're keeping one or two just yet.)

Euphoria -
Destined 2 Be -
Breaksk8 -

I guess they're not getting an answer until tomorrow.

Cutting people AT the airport seems incredibly mean. Couldn't they at least give them a free night in Vegas??

I'm not sure if they do or not, though. I mean, they cut them at the airport but they didn't say they were throwing them right back on a plane again. But then again, who the hell knows?

I'm not really understanding the point of this episode. Maybe I've missed the narrowing-down ep past seasons, but what is the point of reviewing the tapes and kicking people out right away? And then reviewing the tapes again and kicking people out right away again? I'd rather be told right away I wouldn't make it to Vegas, personally.

I get it, although I really wish all these people would get another audition in. I mean, you can't really tell in week one that there's going to be a better singer in week four than the person you're putting through right now. So when your first stage is simply pass-fail, stage two is getting rid of all the D students.
