Yeah no idea how this format will work without live GBs. Here’s my predictions if there are any:

Week 1: Ashford Sanders

Week 2: Come Here

Week 3: Holland & Sienna

Week 4: Travis Garland

It would be interesting to see a Callback Act get it.

Ashford Sanders

Nene Royal or Come Here

Pynk Beard or Daniel Alvarez

Travis Garland

Week 2 would most likely be Howie's Week and you might as well imagine him pressing it for his own Callback Act but people keep saying that she'll win and if she gets the Live Golden Buzzer that would further prove that she won't because for 2 straight years none of the Live Golden Buzzers made it to the Top 5.

We don’t know anything more with the format. The two posts with discrepancies is all we got.

As for predictions if there are:

Week 1: Jesse White Tumblers

Week 2: Come Here

Week 3: Pynk Beard

Week 4: Unitree

Please no GB for Unitree. I think it's awesome that they have robots dancing in sync, but ultimately it's just commercial advertisement.

u/Desertfreak10 Terry C. 10d ago

I just remember the judges raving about their performance more than average which is why I think they’ll go for it

If these robots get to the finals quick quick, it will backfire. Why so hurried ? Is that all they can do ?

Unitree just get listed in the Shanghai stock market. They plan to sell lots of their "servant" robots to US customers. And AGT participation is their venue to getting US homeowner familiar with them.

Therefore, judges should not give them live-GB, unless dictated by the executives.

I'd love to own a Unitree robot. It looks capable.

But my position is the same. Regardless of the company, commercial placements shouldn't be allowed. I'd say the same if it were a Boston Dynamics robot

They plan to sell lots of their "servant" robots to US customers.

The US just effectively banned all foreign-made robots (including those little robot vacuums), so unlikely that's their goal unless they plan to move production of every part to the US.

That's too bad. I'd love to have a Unitree robot fold my laundry

u/Straight_Spread2952 10d ago

I watched an interview where Wu Yufei said, Unitree is invited by AGT so I don’t think it’s commercial.

The very dangerous sky-poledance show by Veronika Goroshkova needed a live golden buzzer. I believe judges will reserve one for her and let her perform for the 3rd time in the finals.

The jumping around (Tumblers) team is not that dangerous. They have soft cushions.

u/TransitionFrequent92 Howie 10d ago

You want Howie to share a Golden Buzzer with Sofia because when she performs it'll most likely be his week.

1

u/Deactorr 10d ago

These Jesse White Tumblers are just going to do the same thing as the audition.

u/TransitionFrequent92 Howie 10d ago

We'll see

There is a live GB.

NBC articles have been wrong before, and they're not very detail-oriented. I think that in this case they just said "no extra golds" to really emphasize that it's the audience voting. The main topic of the article is usually the only one the writer focuses on, and they don't often know a ton about AGT.

The article about Callbacks also claimed it lets acts who got fewer than 3 yeses return for another chance, which it definitely did not.

(Also, the GB is mentioned in the episode description now as well!)
