This can apply to only some acts of course (I.E these 3 but not those 3, etc.). I am not "grouping" them at all.

Don't use Ublock Origin?

Was it the teddy bear or the amulet or something else?

That ending was such a COP-out before going to the sub station.

Funny.

There are 44 slots in the Live Shows, including 10 Golden Buzzers that earned an automatic spot, leaving 34 open places to be filled by Acts who got "Yes" votes from the Judges. And there are far, far more than 34 Acts that meet that criteria.

"Once the Auditions are over, we have to go back and watch the Auditions over and over again to determine who we think should be the finalists, and that's a really hard part of when we do this," Cowell revealed.

During the most recent seasons, the decision of who makes it to the Live Shows happens off-camera, but this year, the Judges are taking viewers behind-the-scenes of their deliberations and introducing a twist. Upon reconsideration, some of the Acts obviously deserve a spot in the Live Shows, and some are easy to let go of, but for those few Acts that they still can't decide on, the Judges will host a special Judges' Callback round that will begin airing Tuesday, August 4 at 8 p.m. ET. 

The Judges will bring the performers to their own homes to show their talents, yet again, in order to secure a place in the Live Shows. In a teaser for the episodes, we did get a glimpse of Acts including the Elektro Dads, Vahtang, Butter & Grit, and Olivia Befus.

The Acts are literally performing in the Judges' homes.

Simon Cowell called the Judges' Callbacks episode "surreal"

"So, one of the producers said, 'What if each Judge took a number of contestants who they like, but would like to see a second time?' And I thought, 'Actually that's a really, really good idea. So I held my hand up first and I said, 'I'd like to see those contestants. I'd like to get to know them better,'" Cowell told NBC Insider about the new interim round of the competition. "I really learnt a lot from spending time with them. I spent one day with all of them just talking and getting to know them, a lot about them. And then the following day they all performed in my garden."

"It was really helpful actually, and I think for those contestants, for the audience at home, you're gonna see a side of them you never would have seen before," he added. "I spent about 30-40 minutes with each person, really got to know them, and they told me a lot about themselves and why they came on the show and why they wanted to do this and what they wanted to do with their lives and their careers and it was really, really fascinating. Loved getting to know them."

"You'll see the difference of how we all are with the contestants," said Cowell, teasing, "seeing [one] particular Act in my garden was one of the most surreal moments, I think, of my career. You'll see what I mean when you watch the episode."

Would you change the freeze, get rid of it, revamp it entirely, keep it as is, etc.

I think it needs some changes to be a better mechanic. Maybe if you win 3 duels in a row you can freeze some (but not all) of your territory and you can pick like a third of your spaces to freeze (to avoid categories or players you're fearful of). Then, the freeze lasts until someone either defeats you or maybe for 2-3 episodes.

Just throwing out some ideas.

Production is not ready to handle what will happen if someone wins the freeze in the middle of the board with one giant territory.

I think it's a good incentive, but multiple players should be able to earn it. Not just one. I understand that with what happened in season 4's last few episodes, the producers wanted someone who worked their butt off to be in the final. I'm not sure how you fix it so the good players are in the final without completely changing the premise of the show, so if they change the core rules of the show, it's not good long-term for the show.

I know that the feeds come back late thursday night, but when does the HOH get their new HOH room back open (Obviously they have to swap out family pictures, etc.). I've been told the HOH is crowned and a few hours later the room gets open. Does the game talk start after that room is open?

Does anyone know a time or is it the next morning?

Who wants to see my HOH room? * throws pillows *
