Controlling the audience drives me crazy. I absolutely hate how they tell the audience how to react to any of the performances. They will turn on a contestant at the exact time they were told to boo, but even worse is when they pause for a few seconds, and then I'll jump up and act like they are spontaneous. Some even try and "act" amazed. I still like the show and I like all of the judges and Terry does a pretty good job but not as good as Nick.
Two things will guarantee you to be on the show. Have a good sob story. Have a dog in the act. Terry also has used his golden buzzer every time on the same type of act. And everyone of them has been good, but not great, but they got the golden buzzer. Even worse is each year the acts that get into the finale are not finale worthy. Last year's winner shouldn't even have been in the finale.
