If you have doubts that “America’s Got Talent” is actually taping its shows live, look no further than Wednesday’s episode.
In addition to the shocking elimination, as 11 acts they performed on Tuesday found out which one would go to the finish to compete against saxophonist Avery Dixon and country singer Drake Milligan, the former contestant returned for a magical act that didn’t seem to go according to plan.
Judge Heidi Klum may be to blame.
The soccer player-turned-magician who reached the AGT finals in 2016 is back for a magic show where he asks Klum and fellow judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara and Howie Mandel to each pick a random number from the box. . There was some squabbling as all the judges dug into the box for their numbers.
At the end of the work, Dorenbos revealed that each number chosen at random by the judges corresponds to a number hidden inside four lockers on the stage. The numbers were eight, 17, 20 and 22, referring to August 17, 2022, the date of the episode.
Except for Klum, who was supposed to get the 20, she revealed that she actually got the 8 instead. (The other Cowell had 8.)
Oh oh.
Despite the obvious hiccups, Dorenboss kept his cool.
“I thought you’d pick 20, but that’s fine,” he said. “Sometimes in life, it’s okay to be away from one, because guess what? Every time I hit this stage I feel like a rock star.”
Top 5 revealed
The first to know their fate were singer Wayne Starks and spouses Guyan Dew Rings. In the end, the high-flying couple won.
Then Freckled Zelda and 12-year-old Madison Taylor Baez, AKA Maddie, rose to the spotlight. Maddy succeeded.
“I love you. I’m happy. You deserve this, but everyone was great last night,” Mandel, who hit Maddy’s golden buzzer after the audition, told the young singer. “America got it right so far.”
Next, the dance crew faced off against Fusion Japan and impressionist actor The Brown Brothers. In a shocking turn, Fusion Japan didn’t make it into the top five despite getting impressed by the judges’ comments.
Then came the trio: magician Yu Hojin, comedians Aiko Tanaka and Mr. Pants. The magician got a place in the top five.

Finally, the country trio learned Chapel Hart, who earned the collective gold buzzer from referees and host Terry Crews, and The Back Dremline, who Cowell said had one of the night’s best acts on Tuesday, which of them won last place in the top 5.
It was Chapel Hart.
“At the moment, I’m really happy, and I’m really sad,” Coyle said of the results. “I’m not going to lie.” “I will say, especially to the acting who just left the stage, Never give up on your dream, because that was a great performance last night. And for Chapel Hart, you deserve to be here.”

Which one came to the end?
The final three came to Yu Huojin, Maddie, and Chapel Hart.
“I’m a little sad that I’ve been a huge fan of the Duo Rings, but I think you three deserve to be at this stage of the competition here,” Vergara said.
But which one came to the end?
The first act at the end was Chapel Hart.
“You really deserve it, girls,” Klum said. “You sang your way into the heart of America.”
With only Yu Hojin and Madde remaining, it seemed certain that Madi, having obtained the Golden Buzzer, would grab the last place. The crowd even chanted her name while Crews gave a dramatic pause before revealing who made it.
But Yu Hu-Jin must have had one last trick up his sleeve, because his name was the one that Cruz called out.
The quarter-final matches continue, with 11 more action on stage next week.
