'America's Got Talent' Fans Are Seriously Upset About Last Night's Episode
A new episode of America's Got Talent aired on NBC Tuesday night, and viewers were not pleased with the acts the judges decided to advance onto the next round.
Fans (or soon to be former fans?) of the reality show took their concerns to Twitter where they voiced why they think Season 12 could likely be the "worst season" in AGT history.
In response to a tweet the AGT Twitter account posted of a mashup video of all the Golden Buzzer acts this season, one user commented, "The name of the show is America's Got TALENT. Too bad half the acts that got put through tonight barely had any. Start judging based on talent instead of how interesting their background story is and this would be a better show."
It’s been a summer of golden talent. ??? #AGT pic.twitter.com/GiOZS2iaTI

Another chimed in," I might stop watching this show cause the judges don’t know how to judge on talent. They let stupid acts go through but the good ones they send home. Either get judges who judge based on talent or let America vote."
One of the acts to create the most controversy online was the Japanese comedic duo Yumbo Dump. The shirtless pair create various noises that sound like whales, owls, and fish with their bare bellies.
If you’re feelin’ so good about @SamuelJComroe and @YumboDump moving on to lives, go on and RETWEET! #JudgeCuts pic.twitter.com/iZYSUqv0Ei

"I AM PRETTY DISGUSTED THAT THE GUYS WHO SLAP THEIR STOMACHES are going through, to the Live Shows!," a viewer wrote. "Their were SEVERAL acts that were waaay more entertaining (and CERTAINLY more TALENTED) than these guys. They were silly...at best...and annoying at worst."
Several others thought Yumbo Dump should not have gotten through over a father and daughter named Sergey and Sasha who perform a daredevil acrobatic act.
This is the most ridiculous put through ever. The fat sumos..... are you serious? Sasha and her dad deserves it @AGT #AmericasGotTalent #AGT

WTF how could you not select Sasha and Sergey yet you send a stupid comedy act with the 2 Yumbo Dumps through 😡😩#AGT

I’m sorry, but the fact that Yumbo Dump went through over Sergey and Sasha is a mockery. What a slap in the face to a father/daughter duo with true talent. A VERY poor decision. #AGT
