Onyeka knows that Blake and Christina previously dated and she just doesn't understand why he hooked with Caelynn one day of being with Kristina. Onyeka thinks he is just a player. Blake tells Tayshia that they are not exclusive and she thinks he is being thoughtful. Caelynn can't believe that Blake is looking like the King of Paradise after what he did to her and she is sick of it. Caelynn can't believe that Blake is going on a date with Kristina, how can she not be upset with him.

Blake chose Kristina because even though they dated for a few months, he feels that maybe there is unfinished business with them. Kristina tells Blake that she felt walked over and is giving him a second chance. She goes on to say that finding out that he was with Caelynn was a slap in the face and she deserved more. He says that he was in Stage Coach, things went a little too far, and they both agreed that it was just a one-time thing. She says that he was with her the day before and it was hurtful. Blake is trying to back out of this, he says he respects and he made his bed and will lay in it. Kristina asks him if he changed the sheets. Blake is angry that she did this, it wasn't how he imagined his date with her. Blake asks her if he has feelings for him. She says the root of her hurt is that he may do it again and not see it as a problem; how many girls has he done this to. They start arguing, he says that he and Caelynn were single adults, and could do what they wanted. He doesn't feel like he did anything wrong. Neither wants to talk anymore.

Kristina can't believe that Blake can't be a man and own up to his actions.

Onyeka and Caelynn talk about how Blake is degrading Caelynn. Blake is back from his date with Kristina. He takes Caelynn to the side and talks to her.. She tells him that she feels really disrespected and hurt. She says he is having fun, but she is not and is losing her mind. She says he decided they were going to be friends, she didn't after they slept together and called her a mistake. Everyone else is listening in, Caelynn goes on to say that Blake treats her like a dirty secret and she is sick of it, she has never in her life been treated like this. Blake says he is so sorry, he didn't know she felt that way.

She says that he is having fun and she is not. He begs her to continue talking, she walks away. He says out loud, that he had no idea that she felt that way and he feels so bad. Onyeka tries to comfort Caelynn, she knows Blake is a player and it is not fair that he makes women feel this way.

Demi doesn't like that Blake has almost slept with all the women already and he is trying to keep it a secret.

Blake tries to confide in Wills, who feels for him but doesn't feel for him. Blake is so upset over this, he is so confused. Basically, he got caught and doesn't know what to do about it.
Kristina goes to speak to Tayshia and tells her that Blake hooked up with her, then hooked up with Caelynn when they were together. Tayshia is so confused, there is no way she can trust Blake, he is a huge player. Blake just lost Tayshia, she is not going to deal with games like this.
The next day, Dylan and Hannah are in the pool and he is surprised that thing is going so well for them, he feels really lucky.

Wills goes to speak to Hannah, she says she is finally feeling relaxed there. It doesn't take long or the two to start kissing and for Dylan to walk up and see it happening. Dylan steals her away. Dylan tells her that he has talked to everyone there and he doesn't feel like he has a connection with anyone but her. This scares Hannah, she is not sure what her path is going to be in Paradise yet. She tells him that Wills just kissed her and she just wants to be transparent with him. He asks her if she is into him, she says she doesn't know. He says he gets that the whole point of being there is to meet people (his jaw dropped a bit.) Meanwhile, Wills is thrilled that he kissed Hannah and plans on pursuing her.

Clay is ready to find the person that he is meant to be with. Bibiana is most attracted to Clay and puts herself out there with him. He tells her that she is very attractive, hot. She tells him that he is good looking and says thank you. The two take a walk on the beach and the other girls eye them.

Next Clay is flirting with Nicole.
Demi comes in with a date card – this one is for Clay. Clay says it is his first one on one date in his bachelor career. Bibiana really wants this date, he picks Nicole. Bibiana is upset, she thought it would be her, they had real conversations and she is disappointed.

Blake and Nicole leave on their date. Annaliese tells some of the guys that Clay just broke up with Angela and she is really struggling with the breakup. Right before their relationship ended, they were looking at houses together and he said that he wanted to may her. Annaliese doesn't think Clay is there for the right reasons. She is sick of guys saying one thing and not going through with it.

Annaliese finds Clay and tells him that is in a really awkward position. He says he knows. She says that he is crushing her by being in Paradise. Clay says she is misinformed, she claims that she saw text messages of his. Clay says that he has been done with Angela for months and she should just concentrate on herself. Nicole walks up and takes Clay away for their date. The towhead to a Mexican carnival. They start drinking, bull riding, dancing, and more kissing. Clay opens up to Nicole and tells her about Angela, he says that he is 100% over her. Nicole thanks him for doing that. Nicole loves that he was honest and feels like she can trust him. Fireworks go off and the two hug.
Demi asks Annaliese what is going on because she finds her crying. She tells her it was because of Angela. Demi suggests that maybe next time she does not confront Clay before he has a date, it wasn't the right moment..

Blake is still upset, he wants to go into hiding. It is going to be hard on everyone in his life when they find out what he did to Caelynn.
Everyone is getting ready for the first Rose Ceremony of the season, and many of the women are very nervous. The men have a lot of big decisions to make. It's game time.

Chris walks in a greets everyone, he welcomes everyone to Paradise. Chris says the fact is, three women are leaving Paradise tonight. There is work to do, the men need to figure out who they are giving roses to, the women have to try and secure one. Not all girls can get a rose. Demi thinks Blake's rose is pretty much up for grabs.

Blake is having a rough time, he hears people talking about him and all he wants to do is move past this and move on. Blake takes Tayshia to the side and wants to see if she will give him a chance. She tells him to speak to Caelynn and make it right.

Blake goes to speak to Caelynn and apologizes to her. He is really broken up about it and doesn't know how he is going to move on.

Jane gives John Paul Jones a spicy taco and he heads down to the beach and vomits. He tries to stop, but can't. Jane is upset, she has hindered herself. Jean-Paul Jones keeps telling her that he is ok, then he vomits again.

John Paul Jones is ok, something in those tacos made him sick.

Annaliese is excited to spend more time with Chris and only wants a rose from him. Kristina walks up and tries to interrupt them, but Annaliese is confident that she will get the rose. Chris spends some time with Kristina and now is so confused because she is such a breath of fresh air.

Bibiana is a wreck, she feels like she has no connection with anyone. Annaliese goes over to her and tries to soothe her and make her feel better.

Dylan sees Hannah go off with Wills and feels like he is in a tough spot. Little does he know that she is telling Wills that she doesn't want him to waste his rose on her. Wills is a bit broken up about being rejected.. Hannah then goes to speak to Dylan and tells him that she told Wills she was into him and didn't want him to waste his rose. Dylan is so happy, he really needed that.
Blake walks up to Hannah and asks to speak to her, everyone is watching. Blake tells her that he has a surprise for her and he thinks she is going to love it. Blake really thinks that they have a connection, so he tries to put himself out there. They kiss after she calls him trouble. Hannah goes back to Dylan and tells him what happened. She tells him that she feels like a bad person, but she is just trying to follow her heart.

THE END!

America's Got Talent 2019 Recap: Judge Cuts 4 Results – Live Blog Videos

08/06/2019 mj santilli America's Got Talent, Recaps

Tonight the America's Got Talent 2019 Judge Cuts conclude. Eighteen acts will perform for judges Howie Mandel, Gabrielle Union, Julianne Hough and Simon Cowell, but only SEVEN acts will advance to the live shows.

This week's special guest judge is former Tonight Show host Jay Leno. He's got the Golden Buzzer and the ability to advance ONE act straight through to the lives. Terry Crews hosts.

We're live blogging all the performances and RESULTS here. Join us!

Jay says he spent 20 years introducing people, but never judged them. Har har har.

Dominguez Poodles – Fun family doggo act – The puppers are all extra fancy tonight!  The scene on stage is very chaotic, but lots of fun. Who can hate on doggos? Simon of course, is charmed. The little girl leads a conga line of dogs, and it ends with a stupendous flying leap. Afterward, the dogs run all over the stage.  Howie loves the chaos! But he's not sure it's a step up. It's not, actually, but the act is still cute as heck. Julianne calls it a "beautiful hurricane." Jay says, "a lot of fun." Simon calls them the most "fun family." He wants a Lion King theme next time.

DM Nation – Dance group that competed on AGT in 2015. Simon said their audition, which was not aired during auditions, lacked personality. Their goal is to be the first all female dance group to make it to the finals. Hm. The group has talent, but lack pizazz. Simon calls it "cold." He cannot relate to them as people. Jay disagrees. He was "totally blown away." Julianne thinks they stepped up, but warn the competition is tough. In other words: Simon hates it, so don't get your hopes up.

Ben Trigger – Fake golden buzzer. Stripped for Simon – He claims to be a classically trained dancer. But he's big, so it's hard! He's going to show a serious side tonight. Hm. Well, he starts off serious, and surprisingly, he moves with grace, despite his chubby physique. But then, of course, the facade drops as he rips his clothes off to reveal a golden leotard. He launches into a crazy interpretation of "Proud Mary," eventually stripping down to star shaped tasseled pasties. Simon is left slack jawed. Jay makes a Crocodile Dundee joke. What? Howie compares him jokingly to Janet Jackson, while seriously acknowledging his dance skills. Gabrielle was happy to see the tassles. "Where does this go?" asks Simon. "So many places," promises Ben.

Nicholas Connors – Young singer – There is just a glimpse of him singing "Ain't Nobody," which is a good thing–his rendition is pitchy throughout. Jay calls it fantastic. Uhm. No it's not.

Jordan Ravi – Singer – We see bits of his audition that was not shown previously. Simon liked him a lot. He said the "ladies would love him." This time, Jordan sings "High Hopes" by Panic At the Disco. We only see a glimpse, though. Again Simon liked it–even better than the first time. But a montage along with no presence during the auditions, is a bad sign.

Benicio Bryant – 14 year old singer came in second on The Voice Kids Germany – Benicio's shtick is that he's only sung to himself in his room. But not so. He's already been on Late Night singing with Brandi Carlile. Tonight, he is performing an original song, "Here Goes Nothing."  He sings in a clear, sweet tenor.. His emotional delivery is direct and engaging. The song is solid, too. Jay calls him an "old soul." Howie thinks he's worthy of going through, but COMPETITION. Simon liked him even more this time. "Trust yourself," Simon advises. Benicio is very emotional when he's done.

Victor Moiseev – Horizontal juggler not highlighted during auditions. AND montage. Julianne compliments his creativity.

Marina Mazepa – Contortionist – Her mom put her in dance as a kid in the Ukraine. Now, she's edgy! She performs what amounts to a crazy pole dance. Her head is wrapped in wire.  She jumps off and menacingly approaches the judges table. It's a little intimidating.  Meanwhile, she twists her body into all the insane shapes. "I know art when I see it," says Jay. Julianne calls her "original." Simon calls her "terrifying in a brilliant way." He loves her unpredictability.

Charlotte Summers – 13 year old Spanish belter. She has already appeared on numerous talent shows including La Voz Kids Spain in 2015.  She had no idea only seven out of 18 singers would go through to the next round. Poor kid. She sings the Leslie Gore classic "You Don't Own Me." She growls and belts her way through it in a most precocious way. Jay has a stock comment. Once again he's "blown away." Simon appreciates her rawness.

Callie Day – Gospel singer – Her audition wasn't highlighted. A youtube video of her singing has garnered 29 million views. She sings Patty Griffins "Up To the Mountain." Callie has that old fashioned gospel sound. I bet she's a hit at church. I was expecting more big notes, but she did hit some impressive high notes. Jay begins yelling. WHAT? Julianne calls her "captivating" and the song "stunning." Simon says she is what gospel is all about.

Zack & Stan – Comic magic act – They do an act that we barely see. Howie promises to fight for them. Pretty certain that did not go well.

SOS  – Magician – His parents competed on AGT on season 11 as quick change artists. He's montaged, despite what appears to be an impressive act.

Kara with a K – Comic actress and comedian – He audition featured pulling cheeseburgers out of her bra. She starts off with mic problems. She screams "Jesus take the wheel!" apropos of nothing. Hoo boy. She's bombing tonight. SO MUCH SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT. Jay actually criticizes her. "Maybe it's not your style," Kara snaps back. Well, she's finished. "That was crazy disappointing," Howie says after she leaves the stage. Jay compares it to a comic who kills on the Tonight Show with a finely honed routine, only to bomb later with a hastily written follow-up.

Emanne Beasha – 10 year old opera singer won Arabs Got Talent – She brings her stuffed unicorn along for good luck. She sings another familiar song. And it's fine. No, actually, it's kind of boring. She does not possess the maturity to bring her performance alive. However, she receives a standing ovation, and I am mystified. Her mother is out in the audience shedding tears. Howie is impressed–he says she's showing the older acts "how it's done." Simon calls her talent a gift. Jay calls her "extremely special…" AND THEN HE HITS THE GOLDEN BUZZER. WHYYYYYYY. Jay Leno CONTINUES to suck. (I am NOT a Jay Leno fan. But that's a subject for another blog. #TeamDave #TeamCoco)

Eric Chien – Close up card magic – Just six months ago, he was only performing for friends. But now here he is on the big stage. He does a nifty quarter trick with Jay before riffing more on stage. He pulls quarters out of a flat card, makes them appear and disappear. The quarter transforms into a silver dollar! His sleight of hand is very good. Smart not to use playing cards this week. The comparisons to last year's winner, Shin Lim are inevitable. He's marking his own territory here. Julianne says he makes her feel that "anything is possible." Howie thinks he upped his game. "I want to fight for you." Simon believes in magic! Now, if there is a next time, he wants to see something big.

Voices of Service – Veteran quartet sing for fellow service members – All four of them suffered traumatic experiences overseas. They use music to help veterans and service members heal. They sing "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa ft Charlie Puth. They're good singers, particularly the female lead. The combine beautiful harmonies with a touching but ultimately feel good back story. Gabrielle calls their voices inspiring and healing. Jay Leno declares them healers. "We really like you guys," says Simon.

Jonathan Burns – Comedian/Contortionist – Terry volunteers…for something. The act involves whipped cream, and really has no point. Howie and Simon both buzz him. "It was just awful," says Simon. Gabrielle says, "It wasn't your night." Actually, his audition was also not funny. So, no surprises here.

Jackie Fabulous – Sassy comedian – She's a former lawyer, but decided to follow her dreams into the comedy world. Her Carribean mother is in the audience. She's never watched her perform before! Well…mom is laughing. That's a good sign. Jackie cracks a couple of really funny jokes. She's having a good night. Jay is so impressed, he's on his feet first. "You made contact with the jury!" he says. Simon calls her hilarious and naughty. Germ phobic Howie gives her a huge hug.

It's time for RESULTS. Oh brother. In a DRAMATIC move, Benicio Bryant and Jordan Ravi are sent backstage so the panel can "deliberate more." But considering Jordan has been montaged through both rounds, it's pretty obvious who is going through. Simon seems pretty bummed about sending Jordan home, though.

As far as which acts advanced this week, for once I actually agree with the choices. I would have chosen a different Golden Buzzer–the Voices of Service would have been a better pick. Also, SOS was a tough loss.

Advancing to the Live Rounds

Emanne Beasha – Jay Leno's Golden Buzzer
Voices of Service
Eric Chien
Marina Mazepa
Charlotte Summers
Jackie Fabulous
Benicio Bryant

Those that went thru? Do you agree?

Victor Moiseev – Horizontal juggler not highlighted during auditions. AND montage. Julianne compliments his creativity.

Marina Mazepa – Contortionist – Her mom put her in dance as a kid in the Ukraine. Now, she's edgy! She performs what amounts to a crazy pole dance. Her head is wrapped in wire.  She jumps off and menacingly approaches the judges table. It's a little intimidating.  Meanwhile, she twists her body into all the insane shapes. "I know art when I see it," says Jay. Julianne calls her "original." Simon calls her "terrifying in a brilliant way." He loves her unpredictability.

Charlotte Summers – 13 year old Spanish belter. She has already appeared on numerous talent shows including La Voz Kids Spain in 2015.  She had no idea only seven out of 18 singers would go through to the next round. Poor kid. She sings the Leslie Gore classic "You Don't Own Me." She growls and belts her way through it in a most precocious way. Jay has a stock comment. Once again he's "blown away." Simon appreciates her rawness.

Callie Day – Gospel singer – Her audition wasn't highlighted. A youtube video of her singing has garnered 29 million views. She sings Patty Griffins "Up To the Mountain." Callie has that old fashioned gospel sound. I bet she's a hit at church. I was expecting more big notes, but she did hit some impressive high notes. Jay begins yelling. WHAT? Julianne calls her "captivating" and the song "stunning." Simon says she is what gospel is all about.

Zack & Stan – Comic magic act – They do an act that we barely see. Howie promises to fight for them. Pretty certain that did not go well.

SOS  – Magician – His parents competed on AGT on season 11 as quick change artists. He's montaged, despite what appears to be an impressive act.

Kara with a K – Comic actress and comedian – He audition featured pulling cheeseburgers out of her bra. She starts off with mic problems. She screams "Jesus take the wheel!" apropos of nothing. Hoo boy. She's bombing tonight. SO MUCH SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT. Jay actually criticizes her. "Maybe it's not your style," Kara snaps back. Well, she's finished. "That was crazy disappointing," Howie says after she leaves the stage. Jay compares it to a comic who kills on the Tonight Show with a finely honed routine, only to bomb later with a hastily written follow-up.

Emanne Beasha – 10 year old opera singer won Arabs Got Talent – She brings her stuffed unicorn along for good luck. She sings another familiar song. And it's fine. No, actually, it's kind of boring. She does not possess the maturity to bring her performance alive. However, she receives a standing ovation, and I am mystified. Her mother is out in the audience shedding tears. Howie is impressed–he says she's showing the older acts "how it's done." Simon calls her talent a gift. Jay calls her "extremely special…" AND THEN HE HITS THE GOLDEN BUZZER. WHYYYYYYY. Jay Leno CONTINUES to suck. (I am NOT a Jay Leno fan. But that's a subject for another blog. #TeamDave #TeamCoco)

Eric Chien – Close up card magic – Just six months ago, he was only performing for friends. But now here he is on the big stage. He does a nifty quarter trick with Jay before riffing more on stage. He pulls quarters out of a flat card, makes them appear and disappear. The quarter transforms into a silver dollar! His sleight of hand is very good. Smart not to use playing cards this week. The comparisons to last year's winner, Shin Lim are inevitable. He's marking his own territory here. Julianne says he makes her feel that "anything is possible." Howie thinks he upped his game. "I want to fight for you." Simon believes in magic! Now, if there is a next time, he wants to see something big.

Voices of Service – Veteran quartet sing for fellow service members – All four of them suffered traumatic experiences overseas. They use music to help veterans and service members heal. They sing "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa ft Charlie Puth. They're good singers, particularly the female lead. The combine beautiful harmonies with a touching but ultimately feel good back story. Gabrielle calls their voices inspiring and healing. Jay Leno declares them healers. "We really like you guys," says Simon.

Jonathan Burns – Comedian/Contortionist – Terry volunteers…for something. The act involves whipped cream, and really has no point. Howie and Simon both buzz him. "It was just awful," says Simon. Gabrielle says, "It wasn't your night." Actually, his audition was also not funny. So, no surprises here.

Jackie Fabulous – Sassy comedian – She's a former lawyer, but decided to follow her dreams into the comedy world. Her Carribean mother is in the audience. She's never watched her perform before! Well…mom is laughing. That's a good sign. Jackie cracks a couple of really funny jokes. She's having a good night. Jay is so impressed, he's on his feet first. "You made contact with the jury!" he says. Simon calls her hilarious and naughty. Germ phobic Howie gives her a huge hug.

It's time for RESULTS. Oh brother. In a DRAMATIC move, Benicio Bryant and Jordan Ravi are sent backstage so the panel can "deliberate more." But considering Jordan has been montaged through both rounds, it's pretty obvious who is going through. Simon seems pretty bummed about sending Jordan home, though.

As far as which acts advanced this week, for once I actually agree with the choices. I would have chosen a different Golden Buzzer–the Voices of Service would have been a better pick. Also, SOS was a tough loss.
