In Episode 1, Simon, Howie and Terry all used Golden Buzzers to fast-track their favorite acts to the live shows. Sofia used her first Golden Buzzer in Episode 2, just before Howie burned his second. There are five still left on the board for Episode 3 and beyond, including both of Mel B’s. NBC spoiled before the premiere that it was going to be the series’ first three-buzzer episode ever, but there haven’t been any spoilers for Episode 3 just yet.
With a $1 million grand prize on the line this season, there is plenty at stake for the countless dancers, magicians, singers, comedians and acrobats will are taking the stage. The judges rejected three acts in Episode 1 and four in Episode 2, so expect a similar number of performers to get sent home each week. We already know at least one Episode 3 performance went well, though, since NBC recently released a clip online highlighting South Korean dance group Come Here’s audition.
