Last week I was able to attend the pre show red carpet. There was so much excitement because it was the first live show. This week I was invited again. This time for the post result show red carpet event. There were so many emotions going on. The results left everyone in shock. When the judges came out to share some of their feelings towards it, they had very strong opinions.

I spoke with Howie Mandell. I told him last week, Howard and himself had predicted who were the ones that were going through to the semi finals. This week was a whole different story. Howie said, “So far off, so, so much of a surprise. We know who should go, America got it right last week, they got wrong this week.” “America did not vote on a talent contest, they voted on a popularity contest. Marty is a sweet man and deserves a lot of things. But, he did not deserve to move on, he was crushed on that stage and in the moment.” I then asked what he thinks will happen next week. He adds, “I hope America gets it right. We don’t have a hand in this. It’s up to America, and if you want the best talent to win, you have to vote someone worthy of a million dollars and a headline act. You have to vote on the show you see”.

Howie was very open about his disappointment with the votes. He wants people to vote and vote correctly. We did have a little bit of a fun comment with Howie and Heidi. On Tuesday night Heidi wore her hair up. Howie made a comment to her that he did not like it up. He calls her and asks her why her hair was down Wednesday night. She said, because boys don’t like girls with their hair up. I thought it was a cute comment.

I was able to squeeze a question to Heidi Klum. I asked her who were her favorites and who she was not a big fan of. She said she really liked Ciana Pelekei. “I was upset to see her go, I love BOOTY, I did love Alexandr the sword swallower. I am happy Innovative Force won, that they made it through. One of my four favorites made it through. I am also happy Forte made it through”. She looked stunning as always.

I was glad to speak to these two judges after such an intense results show. Next week there is a whole new set of acts. This week was a surprising elimination show, we’ll see what happens next.
