In case you weren't watching, the Passing Zone got the judge's pick on
tonight's America's Got Talent! That means we don't even have to vote for
them, they're automatically in the finals! Woo hoo!

They did the People Juggling act, and the audience went wild. The judges
were very enthusastic, too.

Congratulations, Jon and Owen!

My guess is that they will do their chainsaw ballet next, although I'm
not sure how smart that would be. If I were them, I'd do a chiansaw
routine not involving tutu's.

Here's a thread from the AGT messageboards, if people care to see what
"normal" people (though these forum-folk are anything but normal) think
about the act:

http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showtopic=637536&st=0

There doesn't appear to be a video of the act yet on YouTube, whoever
it was that asked, but I'm sure there will be soon. Every other act so
far is up.

I do have to say that, having seen it both live and on TV, people juggling
is a lot more exciting in person. It's a very powerful trick when seen up
close.

You can watch the performances of everyone on the show on NBC's site:

That includes last night's performance of the Passing Zone.

I agree with you. I acually found the routine pretty terrible and was
completely surprised by the judges response..at least some jugglers made
it to the finals.

I find it funny how they commment on tobys wier back flippy 3 club trick
thingy-"it looks like it has been taken from baton twirling-now, you can't
do that with a chainsaw!"
Funny, they juggle chainsaws...

That was my thought as well. On one hand, it's DANGER and EXCITEMENT,
which people go for, but it might be a little bit to silly for the judges'
tastes. But the tutus are so essential for their chainsaw act that it's
hard to picture it without them. Nothing to do but wait and see!

I had assumed they would save People Juggling for the finals, but I guess
they wanted to ensure their success first, then worry about the last round.

Because they found an original way to do it that underlines the
fundamental inanity of the act.

Oh, and re David Cain's comment - they don't wear tutus, do they?
I haven't seen the act in a while, but the picture on their website
has them in their you-can-tell-they-aren't-Jewish ballet tights.

I think they'll be able to work the chaisaw ballet in quite nicely...

"Now we know that David isn't a big fan of juggling. He seems a bit more
interested in the more cultural talents. So what we've done is try to
combine the two..."
